Erroll Garner had a great driving LH to replace a guitar. The LH is often neglected but some masters can coordinate some great rhythms with it and the RH.
Interesting topic here as I think most Arranger players just hold chords with the LH. Playing an Arranger like a piano can be a lot of fun and I occasionally do it that way just for myself
Yes, Erroll Garner had a beautiful quarter note flow in his left hand, kind of reminds of Count Baisie's guitar player Freddie Greene.
Yes, arranger keyboard can put extreme musical restriction on our left hand. That's why I am absolutely thrilled to finally have a chord looper/sequencer on my Yamaha SX900. That alone made it a worthwhile upgrade from the 950 for me. Total game changer!
