One of the most typical of all pianists, Erroll Garner proved that it was possible to be a sophisticated participant without learned how to read music, that a creative jazz player can be selfsame democratic without watering mastered his euphony, and that it is possible to rest an enthusiastic player without changing one's style one time it is formed. A vivid sensation wHO sounded unlike anyone else, Erroll Garner on medium-tempo pieces often stated the flap with his left hand like a rhythm guitar while his right played chords slightly behind the beat, creating a memorable impression. His playful free form introductions (which forced his sidemen to really listen), his ability to play stunning runs without erst glancing at the keyboard, his grunting and the pure joy that he displayed spell performing were likewise part of the Erroll Garner magic.


Garner, whose older brother Linton is likewise a fine piano player, appeared on the radiocommunication with the Kan-D-Kids at the years of ten. After functional topically in Pittsburgh, he stirred to New York in 1944 and worked with Slam Stewart's triplet during 1944-45 before expiration forbidden on his own. By 1946 Garner had his level-headed together and when he backed Charlie Parker on his far-famed "Nerveless Blues" session of 1947, the piano player was already an obvious giant. His unclassifiable style had an orchestral attack straight from the sweep era just was open to the innovations of federal Bureau of Prisons. From the early '50s Garner's accessible style became very democratic and he ne'er seemed to deliver an sour day up until his forced retirement (due to unwellness) in early 1975. His makeup "Misty" became a standard. Erroll Garner, world Health Organization had the power to sit at the pianoforte without prior preparation and record three albums in unmatchable day (all colourful first takes), made many records passim his vocation for such companies as Savoy, Mercury, RCA, Dial, Columbia, EmArcy, ABC-Paramount, MGM, Reprise and his possess Octave label.





Naomi Campbell - Campbell To Face Air Rage Charges

Star turn

High-profile record-spinner DJ AM is heading here to help celebrate a New Zealand company which has turned the tables on the job of playing music in clubs. He talks to Dean Campbell
Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein would rather be seen rocking parties than tabloid pages, but when you date a string of Hollywood faces including Nicole Ritchie and Mandy Moore, sometimes that can't be avoided.Goldstein has appeared everywhere from the pages of NW magazine to Ashton Kutcher's Punk'd show, but as TimeOut found out, that's all a bit of a strange spin-off sideshow to the career of this 35-year-old DJ and businessman. Ahead of our phone chat, his publicist had laid out the ground rules about personal questions. So instead the talk turns to how he has managed to become one of America's most in-demand DJs."It's been a long run," he says from his home in Southern California, "I haven't had another job since '96; 12 years and this is all I've done. I've just had a nice, slow, steady incline in the amount of work."A quick check of his current schedule and you wonder whether it is possible to increase that work rate any further. AM flies on average six times a week to get from gig to gig - that's a lot of aeroplane food.




"I'm DJing my ass off," he laughs, "I've been a very, very busy man. It varies, the cities each week - Fridays it's my residency in Vegas. The past seven days I've played Denver, Atlantic City, Tampa, New York, Detroit, and I just got home and I'm going to Hong Kong tomorrow, then Sydney, before I come and see you in New Zealand." One explanation for this high-demand situation could be that he's known for dating the stars, people read about him in celebrity gossip magazines every second week and therefore he becomes a more appealing commodity to party promoters. But the guy has been DJing professionally since 1996 and he is technically very good - famed for his quick-cut mixing and scratching and his eclectic party mash-up style. You could hear anything from Kanye to Zeppelin to the latest indie rock hit or club banger in an AM set, depending on time and area code. He also speaks confidently and knowledgeably about the art of spinning tunes. "I think a key to being a good DJ - aside from technical ability - is to be unselfish. You can show up to a gig that someone has hired you for and get there and realise, 'oh my God, these people are awful', all they want to hear is Top 40 all night long, they want the same crap they've been hearing on the radio all day. And to be able to be unselfish and say 'stuff it, I'm going to give them what they want' and not go 'God, don't you people know about good music' and try to educate them, that's a key part of it. "In saying that, I love throwing people curve balls. Although sometimes that backfires and people are like 'Are you really playing this God-awful song?', then I'll do something to it, like add drums to it, or start scratching it up to make it sound better."

O'Neal To Go To Rehab

Latest: Oscar-winning actress Tatum O'Neal is set to enter rehab - after turning down a judge's recommendation she attend drug counseling. The former child star - who chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life - was arrested by police on Sunday night, after she was spotted by a narcotics team exchanging money with a man three blocks from her home in the Big Apple. According to the New York Daily News, the actress "laughed and chatted" her way through her arraignment at Manhattan Criminal Court on Monday - just hours after she tried to plead her way out of her arrest. O'Neal's lawyer refused Criminal Court Judge Felicia A. Mennin's offer for the 44-year-old actress to sit through two days of drug counseling in favour of finding a rehab programme suitable for the star. A law enforcement source says, "She's going to go to her own, high-priced, out-of-the-spotlight rehab to get clean - again." The daughter of screen star Ryan O'Neal - who, at age 10, was the youngest person ever to win an Oscar - entered no plea and was released on her own recognisance. She is next due in court on 28 July .
