The legendary recording is in so many people's collections and even though it was recorded on September 19,1955 and released on Columbia later that year it remains to this day the all-time best selling Jazz record. The concert took place in the Sunset Theater in Carmel, California. Piano master Erroll Garner was in top form with his tight Trio with the reliable Eddie Calhoun on bass and the brush master, Denzil DeCosta Best on drums. It took 60 years for Columbia to issue the complete concert because of legal issues with the Garner Estate but they did themselves proud by issuing the complete concert as only 43 minutes had ever been out before on LP then CD. The sound is pristine and much improved over previous issues. This historic reissue of this concert by one of the most appealing and major stylists of the piano is here with additional tunes, an interview with Garner and company. The Complete Concert By The Sea is a keeper forever.
