Destiny of a man who changed Jazz forever
Misty - The Erroll Garner Story is a film about Erroll Garner, one of the great jazz legends. Garner was one of the most well known and influential pianists in the world during his lifetime. He was by all accounts self-taught, began playing at the age of three and was performing professionally by the age of seven. Throughout his career Garner developed a distinctive and original piano style often compared with Art Tatum, Fats Waller, as well as Claude Debussy. Garner recorded one of the greatest selling jazz albums of all time, Concert By The Sea.
Throughout Garner's life tremendous public success blended with a complex private world: with his all-dominant manager, the women he loved, his musicians and his daughter Kim.
Misty - The Erroll Garner Story approaches one of jazz’s greatest mysteries: who was the man behind the ever-friendly smile?
