Review: A completely self-taught pianist, Garner had evolved a unique style which managed to combine over-the-top romanticism with the most ferocious swing. A favorite way of deploying these was to set up a great perfumed cloud of sound, covering the entire keyboard, out of which would suddenly emerge, tripping merrily along, a well-known tune. e was ambidextrous, which meant that he could happily keep two rhythms going at once. Every track is a gem of virtuosity, but you can’t like them all.
