Legendary pianist Michael Garrick had been going through a revival when this album was originally released in 2008, due to the interest in British jazz of the 1950s and 1960s led by Gilles Peterson with his 'Impressed' compilations.
These featured Garrick as a leader of his own groups, which at different times included Tony Coe, Joe Harriott, Shake Keane, Henry Lowther, and as a member of the Rendell-Carr Quintet. Jazz fell out of fashion in the late '70s and '80s and there is little of Garrick's output from that period on record. This collection of previously unreleased live recordings redresses that situation.
Performing a set of familiar standards, plus two Garrick originals, on various acoustic pianos, from a Steinway grand to a Danemann upright, Garrick can be heard performing solo, and accompanied by bassists Dave Green and Paul Moylan and drummers Trevor Tomkins and Alan Jackson.
