Erroll Garner (1921–1977) was a self-taught American jazz pianist and composer renowned for his joyous, virtoboso style, distinct from the bebop movement of his time. Known for his 1955 masterpiece Concert by the Sea and the iconic ballad "Misty," he famously played by ear, avoiding sheet music, and was characterized by his left-hand "striding" rhythm and right-hand orchestral, slightly behind-the-beat phrasing
