    'AGE EIGHT
Grn to Present Concert
S:4l.ing Atop Telephone Book
Erroll Garner, one of the most dynamic jazz pianists of this era, is 5 foot 2 inches
tall, very tailored and always sits on a telephone book in order to reach the keyboard.
Garner will appear at - 8 p.m. Sunday in Recreation Hall sponsored by the University
Artist Series. Tickets are still available at the Hetzel Union desk.
Garner does not belong to any one school of jazz, but is -universally respected by his
fellow musicians for his h:gh level
and individuality of work.
According to Don Nelsen, fea•
lure writer for the New York
Sunday News, two qualities
contribute to Garner's popu
larily: his heavy emphasis on
the melody of a tune and the
GARNER
infectious rhythmic swing
which could "set a-stomping the
feet of a wooden Indian.
"One would have to be un
conscious not to be affected by
the insistent, uninhibited, romp
ing pulsation he puts down," Nel
sen said.
When asked during an inter
view if he could read any music,
Gacner replied, "I can't read at
all. Not even a note. I can't even
read that five and dime sheet
music. I can tell you how pretty
A looks, that's all.'
Garner had some experience
with music lessons but his
teacher soon realized, when
Garner insisted on playing notes
that were not in the score, that
he was merely playing what
he had heard and not wh7l he
saw before him.
The tf'acher was so upset that
made Garner's parents take
back half of the money they had
paid for the lessons.
Garner'; older brother had no
such difficulty and today he is
a professional pianist and ar
ranger.
Garner, at 36, is still unmarried
and, from all reports, intends to
remain single. "He appears most
content to be a rolling stone, meet
ing people, seeing things and .gen
erally having a .ball for himself.
This fierce enthusiasm for life
romes through in his playing,"
Nelsen said.
Garner is now touring the COM-t
-hy under the sponsorship of Sol
Hurok ~ a nd he is the first jazz
man that Hurok has promoted.
Garner will wind up the current
