The seizures became more frequent and pronounced when the Vivien Garry Trio returned to New York.ДЄrvвЂ™s earlier playing had displayed his exceptional gift to communicate commands requiring milliseconds from his brain to his fingers. He was able to perform despite the occasional seizures that his trio mates noticed during their time in California. Likewise, the air checks included in this set were broadcasts on Los Angeles and New York City radio stations but not recorded for commercial release.ДЄrv Garrison suffered from epilepsy. His most accomplished performances were recorded for the Armed Forces Radio Service on вЂњJubileeвЂќ and вЂњMagic CarpetвЂќ transcriptions that were heard by service personnel around the world, but not in the U.S. вЂњFive Guitars in FlightвЂќ on Black & White 822 remained ArvвЂ™s proudest achievement of his recording career. Arv was hired by Earle Spencer to compose a piece for his orchestra featuring five harmonized guitars. Arv plays rhythm backup with occasional solo breaks on these vocalist sessions where his ability to adapt and swing in different musical settings demonstrated his versatility. Vivien and Arv were on sessions for Signature and Exclusive where they were part of the ensembles backing Leo Watson and Rickey Jordan respectively. He was on several Dial sessions led by Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and Howard McGhee, but his presence on these recordings is sparse due to the short duration of 78 singles.

The TrioвЂ™s first recordings for Guild and Sarco demonstrated ArvвЂ™s phenomenal mastery of the electric guitar. A majority of that legacy was with the Vivien Garry Trio.
