00:00The man for whom the piano was invented, one of the real giants of jazz, although he stands only 5 feet 2 inches.
00:08The man with 40 fingers, the great, the one and the only, Mr. Errol Garner.
00:17He was a genius, but Errol could never play the same way twice.
00:22I play all unorthodox fingering all wrong.
00:25I had about three wretches in my life.
00:30I think it was his imagination running free.
00:33Errol had feeling in his soul.
00:36Everybody on stage was crying.
00:41There was a sadness about him.
00:44There were six children, three boys and three girls.
00:47She used to say, my daddy plays the piano.
00:55I consider myself as the best kept secret.
00:59As long as he could play the piano, that was his world.
