Jazz Piano on the Savoy label
Taken from four separate sessions between 1945-1949, Penthouse Serenade showcases Erroll Garner’s early recordings for Savoy. Garner’s playful, melodic, and whimsical piano runs on this set of standards never cease to amaze. While the melodies of these tunes are immediately recognizable, Garner managed to exert artistic license while still connecting on a commercial level. On the majority of these tracks, Garner is supported by John Simmons on bass and Alvin Stoller on drums, with the exception of “(Back Home Again In) Indiana,” “Laura,” and “Somebody Loves Me,” on which they are replaced by John Levy on bass and drummer George DeHart. This is a decent set for those who want to investigate Garner’s pre-Columbia recordings.
