Mack Avenue

Erroll Garner was an American Jazz pianist and composer. Born on June 15, 1921 in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, he left an indelible mark on the music world with his unique style and virtuosic piano playing. His career spanned several decades, during which he recorded numerous albums and composed iconic jazz standards. Garner's talent and passion for music continue to inspire generations of musicians to this day. He passed away on January 2, 1977 in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

Mack Avenue is a US label that was initially known as Mack Avenue Records before being shortened to just Mack Avenue. Founded in 1999 by a renowned musician, it has established itself as an independent record label with a strong presence in the music industry. As of 2016, Mack Avenue became the parent label of several talented artists and performers.

With its *informative* and *authoritative* tone, Mack Avenue has become synonymous with quality music production. The label's commitment to showcasing exceptional talent across various genres has earned it a reputation for delivering outstanding albums and performances.

As an independent record label, Mack Avenue prides itself on nurturing emerging artists while also supporting established musicians in their creative endeavors. With its extensive catalog of releases, including collaborations between *renowned artists*, the label continues to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.

This 4-LP boxed set chronicles legendary pianist/composer Erroll Garner at the height of his creative freedom, telling the real story of the famed musician's artist-owned label, Octave Records, and redefining his place in music history.

Looking back in order to look forward is fundamental to most art forms, maybe none more so than the profound art of jazz. In rare cases, such retrospection can reveal entirely new aspects of the art and its creator, redefining a legacy for a new generation. Such is the case with the genius of Erroll Garner. One of the most popular figures in jazz during his exceptional career, Garner's legacy is receiving a remarkable reinvigoration through the concerted efforts of Octave Music's Erroll Garner Project (EGP) and its partnership with Mack Avenue Music Group. Together they are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Garner's birth with an extraordinary three-tiered release focused on Garner's output from 1959 to 1975 and featuring a stunning 27-song previously unreleased 1959 concert recorded at Boston's Symphony Hall. 

Includes: - 3-LP 180-gram black vinyl Complete Symphony Hall Concert (previously unreleased live performance from Boston's Symphony Hall recorded January 17, 1959) - 1-LP 180-gram white vinyl, SESSIONS (new compilation of Garner originals from the Octave Remastered Series, first time on vinyl) - 3 Essays from Dr. Robin D. G.
