Mack Avenue Music Group and Octave Music Proudly Announce the Octave Remastered Series Newly Restored and Expanded Editions Of Mack Avenue Music Group and Octave Music Proudly Announce the Octave Remastered Series Newly Restored and Expanded Editions of 12 Classic Albums from Acclaimed Jazz Legend Erroll Garner First Four Releases – Dreamstreet, Closeup in Swing, One World Concert, A New Kind of Love – Available September 27, 2019 One New Remastered Album to Follow Each Month Through June 2020 Mack Avenue Music Group and Octave Music proudly announce the Octave Remastered Series, a historic year-long, 12-album project featuring newly restored and expanded editions of classic Erroll Garner releases from the 1960s and 1970s. Each album contains a newly discovered, unreleased bonus track. Utilizing the Plangent Process playback system for analog tape, these new transfers were remastered and, when needed, remixed by the Grammy® winning Garner team. The Octave Remastered Series continues Garner’s resurgence, following his return to the top of the Billboard Jazz chart with 2015’s Grammy-nominated The Complete Concert by the Sea, which was the first release from the Erroll Garner Jazz Project—a collective formed to curate Garner’s monumental archive. The Garner Jazz Project followed The Complete Concert by the Sea with the critically acclaimed, newly unearthed studio record Ready Take One in 2016, and the midnight concert album Nightconcert, which reached #1 on the iTunes and Amazon jazz charts upon its release in 2018. The first four titles in the new series – Dreamstreet, Closeup in Swing, One World Concert, and A New Kind of Love – will be released simultaneously on September 27. The subsequent series rollout features one album per month – A Night at the Movies, Campus Concert, That’s My Kick, Up in Erroll’s Room, Feeling is Believing, Gemini, Magician, and Gershwin & Kern – leading up to the kickoff of Garner’s centennial year celebration, beginning in June 2020 and concluding on his 100th birthday, June 15, 2021. The master tapes for all 12 albums in the series were transferred and restored using the Plangent playback system. Employing a wideband tape head, preamp and DSP package to capture and track the original recorder’s ultrasonic bias remnant, the Plangent Process removes the wow and flutter and FM/IM distortion from the recorded audio. This returns the listener to the original session experience, bringing to life Garner’s incomparable performances of his own compositions, as well as classic works from the jazz canon. During his 40-year career, Garner published more than 200 compositions, the most famous of which, “Misty,” was ranked by ASCAP as the twelfth most popular song of the 20th century. Since 1954 no other song has been recorded by more jazz artists except Duke Ellington’s “Satin Doll.” In 1971, “Misty” was the centerpiece of jazz aficionado Clint Eastwood’s film Play Misty For Me. It has also been featured in numerous television shows (Cheers, Saturday Night Live, Magnum PI, The Muppet Show) and films (Oscar®-nominated Silver Linings Playbook). A previously unreleased studio performance of “Misty” is included in the Octave Remastered Series, on the Gemini album. The newly minted bonus tracks in the series are all Garner originals, eight of the 12 being previously unreleased compositions. “It’s truly shocking, and one of the greatest joys of this work, to find these fully realized tunes just sitting there on tape,” says Peter Lockhart, senior producer of the Octave Remastered Series. One of the most prolific composers and performers in the history of jazz, as well as a courageous advocate for African- American empowerment and artistic freedom, Garner is a legend among jazz pianists. His unique approach melds bebop and swing influences into a unique, unrivaled mastery. Asked to define his musical genius, the late pianist Geri Allen, who was director of the jazz program in Garner’s hometown at the University of Pittsburgh, best captured the essence of Garner’s utterly original vision. “Erroll Garner personifies the joy of fearless virtuosity and exploration. His playing celebrated the greatest swinging big bands through an innovative and impossible pianism,” she explains. “Singular yet all embracing, Garner blurred the line between great art and popular art, and he was a staunch journeyman of the blues and his Pittsburgh legacy.” In addition to his brilliant keyboard artistry, Garner is also a notable figure in popular music history for the hard-won precedents he set for artistic freedom that still stand today. In 1959, because he had rights of approval on what was released, Garner successfully sued Columbia Records to remove an album they had released without his permission. His victory was the first of its kind for any American artist in the music industry. Garner and his manager, Martha Glaser, subsequently founded and launched Octave Records, whose 12 releases make up the Octave Remastered Series. Erroll Garner was a rare musician who was equally adored and respected by peers and devoted fans alike. He and his art were best summed up by the late trumpeter Clark Terry: “The man was complete. He could do it all.” **************************************************** Dreamstreet | Available September 27, 2019 Recorded in 1959, the Dreamstreet tapes sat unreleased while Garner fought for control over his catalog. Finally issued in 1961 as the first product of his newly formed Octave Records, it heralded Garner’s return with a set of performances worthy of the wait. A new Garner original, “By Chance,” has been added to the remastered release, restored from the original session reels. Closeup in Swing | Available September 27, 2019 The second product of Garner’s Octave Records, this album features Erroll and his classic trio like they’ve never been heard before, restored and remastered from the original master tapes. Marking the beginning of one of the most prolific periods in his life, this new presentation includes the propulsive, never-before-heard Garner composition, “Octave 103.” One World Concert | Available September 27, 2019 This was Garner’s first live concert album after his chart-topping Concert by the Sea, recorded seven years earlier. A tour- de-force performance makes this a worthy successor, complete with his trademark improvisational fireworks. This new presentation includes extended introductions as well as an unreleased version of the Garner ballad “Other Voices,” which has never been issued in a trio arrangement. A New Kind of Love | Available September 27, 2019 While the emotionally charged music of Erroll Garner is particularly well suited for the big screen and has been used in countless films over the years, he only ever composed this one film score. A natural orchestrator and with an uncanny ability to sound like an entire orchestra by himself, on this record Garner makes singular use of a 35-piece orchestra, conducted by Leith Stevens, to bring his music to new heights.

  • Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard 1981
    Erroll Garner, Master of the Keyboard 1981 Dan Morgenstern Grammy Award for Best Album Notes 1981 Book of the Month Records BOMR 81-5403 Erroll Garner, An ApprecIatIon by Dan Morgenstern Erroll Garner was a phenomenon. He didn’t sing, dance or tell jokes. He never said a word when he performed. All he did was play the piano. Yet he captured the hearts and minds of millions of listeners all over the world, becoming the most popular solo jazz instrumentalist of his time—a feat even more remarkable because his was a time when jazz was dwarfed in popularity by the gigantic media event called rock ‘n’ roll. What was Garner’s secret? Above all, he was able to communicate his joy in making music with an immediacy that transcended all differences of age, nationality, race, education and musical background. Wherever and whenever he performed, in concert halls as a soloist or with symphony orchestras or in a wide variety of nightclubs, he reached out to each member of the audience, creating the illusion that he was playing just for that person. “I don’t know what I do or how I do it;” he once said, “but with me it’s the relaxation and the feeling. I relive my life at the piano. I just like to look at people and play and smile, and get them on my side.” Garner was a natural. He was born into a musical family—in Pittsburgh, on June 15, 1923— and by the age of three he was playing the piano.

    The name says it all... Just Jazz October 2015 Hi Friends — val·ue /ˈvalyo͞ o/ noun: the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something val·u·a·ble /ˈvaly(əw)əb(ə)l/ adjective: of great worth According to those definitions Yoenis Céspedes of the New York Mets not only has value, but is the Most Valuable Player in the league. Before the Mets traded for him on July 31 they were barely treading water, just three games over .500. Then he joined the club and they’ve powered their way through the next two months, topping their division. No player has made a bigger difference in his team’s performance, a bigger contribution to winning, than Céspedes. OK, so he’ll play only two months for the Mets. So what? Add in his stats from the previous four months with the Detroit Tigers and Céspedes matches up against anyone in the game. He, friends, is the very definition of a “five-tool player,” in a class with Just Jazz Artist of the Month the Pirates’ Andrew McCutchen and the Angels’ Mike Trout.

  • 1959 Jazz: a Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959
    GELB, GREGG, DMA. 1959 Jazz: A Historical Study and Analysis of Jazz and Its Artists and Recordings in 1959. (2008) Directed by Dr. John Salmon. 69 pp. Towards the end of the 1950s, about halfway through its nearly 100-year history, jazz evolution and innovation increased at a faster pace than ever before. By 1959, it was evident that two major innovative styles and many sub-styles of the major previous styles had recently emerged. Additionally, all earlier practices were in use, making a total of at least ten actively played styles in 1959. It would no longer be possible to denote a jazz era by saying one style dominated, such as it had during the 1930s’ Swing Era. This convergence of styles is fascinating, but, considering that many of the recordings of that year represent some of the best work of many of the most famous jazz artists of all time, it makes 1959 even more significant. There has been a marked decrease in the jazz industry and in stylistic evolution since 1959, which emphasizes 1959’s importance in jazz history. Many jazz listeners, including myself up until recently, have always thought the modal style, from the famous 1959 Miles Davis recording, Kind of Blue, dominated the late 1950s. However, a few of the other great and stylistically diverse recordings from 1959 were John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, and Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, which included the very well- known jazz standard Take Five. My research has found many more 1959 recordings of equally unique artistic achievement.

  • Erroll Garner
    1 The PIANO of ERROLL GARNER Solographer: Jan Evensmo Last update: June 20, 2020 2 Born: Pittsburgh, June 15, 1921 Died: Los Angeles, Jan. 2, 1977 Introduction: Erroll Garner was one of the very first jazz artists I ever heard, and I will never forget the astonishment and joy I felt when listening to “Lullaby Of Birdland”, “Caravan” and other exciting performances. He was held in high esteem in Oslo Jazz Circle already from the middle fifties. History: Brother of Linton Garner. He played professionally in the Pittsburgh area from 1938 to 1941 with Leroy Brown’s orchestra. By 1944 he had moved to New York, where he started to play in nightclubs; he served as a substitute for Art Tatum in Tatum’s trio with Tiny Grimes and Slam Stewart, remaining when it became the Slam Stewart Trio (1945). He then formed his own trio with bass and drums, a format he retained for the whole of his career when not playing as a soloist, and he quickly captured a large audience. In 1947, while working in the Los Angeles area, he recorded with Charlie Parker. In 1950s and 1960s he was one of the most frequently seen jazz musicians on television, and in 1957-8 he undertook the first of many overseas tours. He remained active until February 1975, becoming one of the most familiar figures on the jazz scene and issuing a great many recordings (ref. New Grove Dictionary of Jazz). Message: This solography is the first version of the planned result from awarding me the “Erroll Garner – Martha Glaser Archive Research Award”.
