Ready Take One
Description
2016 collection from the jazz legend. Erroll Garner was one of the great
American Jazz pianists of the 20th century, yet very few know his name or his
music. On Ready Take One, listeners are treated to a rare peek behind the
studio doors, with revealing conversation between Garner, his quartet, and
longtime manager/producer Martha Glaser included between many of the songs. As
pianist/producer Geri Allen writes, “a kind of fifth member of the band,
Glaser would support Erroll Garner in the moment of the creative act”, as
evidenced by the title of the album, a direct reference to Glaser’s steady
refrain of, “Ready, take one”. Ready Take One features six never before
released original Garner compositions, including the infectious “Wild Music”
and beautiful ballad, “Back To You”. Recorded during a prolific five-year
period beginning in 1967, all 14 songs on Ready Take One are previously
unreleased, having only recently been discovered after nearly 50 years.
