LIMITED EDITION 6-PANEL DIGIPAK + COMPREHENSIVE INSIDE BOOKLET Presented here is the complete original Erroll Garner album Concert by the Sea (Columbia CL-883), which marked the pianist's best-selling record ever. There was actually no official plan to record the concert. The release came about because Garner's personal manager, Martha Glaser, spotted that a tape recorder was running backstage and decided to use the tape, a tape originally intended for broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio Network. Included in this superb package are ten bonus tracks from the same period and with the same trio members. ERROLL GARNER, piano EDDIE CALHOUN, bass DENZIL BEST, drums Live in Carmel, California, September 19, 1955. AllMusic "Concert by the Sea is certainly one of the biggest albums in jazz history, selling over 225,000 copies in the first year after its 1956 release and turning into such a steady seller over the next few years, it reportedly brought Columbia Records a million dollars by 1958 - a nice sum at any time but astronomical in the late '50s. It should've turned Erroll Garner into a full-fledged superstar and, in a way, it did." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine)
