Erroll Garner outstanding qualities along with his completely individual style structure is his unpredictable spontaneous feeling, his improvisational forte.Erroll Garner made his solo concert debut at the Cleveland Music Hall in 1950 , winning critical and audience accolades. Garner developed a signature style that involved his right hand playing behind the beat while his left hand strummed a steady rhythm and punctuation, thus creating insouciance and tension in the music.The independence of his hands also was evidence by his masterful use of three-against-four fingers and more complicated cross rhythms between the hands. Garner also would improvise whimsical introductions to audiences that left listeners in suspense as to what tune he would play. HE MAY BE GONE, RIP BUT HIS MUSIC WILL LIVE ON .
