For this lengthy session, pianist
Erroll Garner added a conga player (
Candido) to his trio (which includes bassist
Wyatt Ruther and drummer
Eugene Heard) for the first time. Throughout the remainder of his career he would occasionally play in the Latin idiom. This CD reissue (which adds two songs from the same session to the original LP program) finds the pianist in typically enthusiastic form and the highlights include "Mambo Garner," "Night and Day," "Cherokee" and "Sweet Sue."
