Misty - The Erroll Garner Story

Schweiz Deutschland Frankreich 2021-2024 Dokumentarfilm

Summary

Jazz pianist Erroll Garner grew up in Pittsburgh in the 1920s as the youngest of six children. He taught himself the piano from an early age. He never learned to read music but became famous for his virtuoso improvisations. The private life of this seemingly perpetually joyful musician was kept hidden, even from his family. "Misty – The Erroll Garner Story" reveals the light and dark sides of this quiet genius.
