If you're looking for something for your holiday wish list, I highly recommend this.
I just got this 3-CD set last week and can't stop listening to it. I had the original LP years ago but the audio is much better here and there are 11 previously unheard tracks from the concert. From unbelievably swing to romantic rhapsody, it's all just fantastic, amazing piano playing. Garner was truly a one-man orchestra and an artist of starling originality.

Nice audio documentary on Garner: http://www.npr.org/2007/09/19/14501602/erroll-garner-the-joy-of-a-genius

One warning, like Keith Jarrett, Garner grunts and groans thru every tune. There must be an interesting link between musical creativity and vocalization. It seems to be a piano player thing. guitarists just move their mouths and make "guitar face" but generally don't make "gruhhhh", "ooogghhh" sounds like Garner did.
