Erroll Garner - Jitterbug Waltz (1954)

Thomas “Fats“ Waller and His Rhythm introduced “Jitterbug Waltz“ on their March 16, 1942, RCA Victor recording date. “Jitterbug Waltz“ was inspired by some piano exercises that Waller’s son Maurice had been practicing on the piano. “Jitterbug Waltz“ is almost universally performed as an instrumental. Only a handful of vocalists have taken on the challenging melody. There are also lyrics to the Fats waller version as well!
