Concert by the Sea is a live album recorded by pianist Erroll Garner on September 19, 1955 in the gothic-revivalist styled assembly hall of Sunset School (now Sunset Arts Center) in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
The original U.S. album cover photograph, showing a model in mid-stride with outstretched arms, was shot by music and fashion photographer Art Kane.
There was no plan to record the concert officially. The release came about because Garner’s personal manager, Martha Glaser, spotted backstage that a tape recorder was running. The recording was being made by a recording engineer for the Armed Forces Radio Network, a jazz fan and scholar named Will Thornbury, strictly for the enjoyment of himself and his fellow servicemen. Glaser took the tape, put it into album form, then played it for Columbia’s jazz division head, George Avakian, who decided to release it on October 13, 1955.
It sold over a million dollars’ worth of retail copies by 1958, qualifying for gold record status by the definition of that time but has never been acknowledged as such by the RIAA.
