Erroll Garner was a giant of a pianist with a remarkable and very distinctive style to his playing. He never learned to read music, but wrote and performed at such a high level that he caught the attention of the whole world and the admiration of his peers during his life time. Erroll Garner was born in Pittsburgh, Pa., on June 15, 1921. He died on January 2, 1977.
The Ernie Edwards Trio presents “One Good Turn” as a live musical jazz experience dedicated to the memory of Erroll Garner. Garner’s work is deeply admired by Ernie Edwards. He is quick to admit his style of playing has been greatly influenced by Erroll Garner.
The Ernie Edwards trio has executed a stellar performance paying homage to a song list of Erroll Garner standards such as “Farewell to Paris”, “Mambo Carmel”, “Left Bank Swing” and a well known classic, “Mack The Knife”. A prolific composer in his own right, this project features a few Ernie Edwards’ originals, such as “Lovely Day”, “I Can See Things You Can’t See” and a trio favorite, “From Ernie to Erroll.
“One Good Turn”- A Tribute to the Musical Styles of Erroll Garner is a serenade of appreciation to a jazz great, performed by a new generation of musicians committed to preserving the legacy of the great American Song Book. “It’s About the Music”. Enjoy!

A NOTE FROM
THE WEBB BROTHERS
“I am truly honored and privileged to be apart of The Ernie Edwards Trio. Ernie as a bandleader has challenged me to become more open to interpretation and emotion. Ernie is the bridge connecting the traditional styles of Erroll Garner, Art Tatum, and respectively Oscar Peterson. I honestly believe that his purpose in life is to preserve the traditions of these artists. Not only is he superb in the genre of jazz, but also he is very versatile ranging from classical to the deep roots of traditional gospel music.
To Ernie Edwards and Vision Ventures, I thank you for the journey.”
Jacob Webb
“It has been a joy to collaborate with Mr. Edwards over the past several months. In regards to interpreting the music of his long time idol Erroll Garner, Ernie is a living scholar. Mr. Edwards has broadened my spectrum in the repertoire of the older classic pop songs in the American Songbook.
I am honored to add my contributions to this project.”
Nathan Webb

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!
