Penthouse Serenade: The Debonair Erroll Garner
(Savoy)

Another piano trio with lots of personality. The prevailing vibe here is like that of a honky-tonk – you can practically hear Erroll smirking as he watches some sexy dame saunter off with a sharp-enough dressed man to the rhythm of his tinkling piano keys. It’s the kind of shtick that could wear thin after too long, but fortunately, this collection is none too long and every track is a winner. - Michael Fortes
