One of the great jazz legends, Erroll Garner was a brilliant pianist who enjoyed enormous success with a complex private world: with his all-dominant manager, the women he loved, his musicians and his daughter Kim. Looking at the performer’s life means re-living the intense post-war era of the USA between the consumer boom and the Vietnam War.
