George Shearing: "The Shearing Touch"

Released in 1960.

Fabulous.

You don't have to take my word for it.

Go find these tracks and give 'em a listen.

Call it Lounge Music if you must,

but this would be a Lounge

in which everyone

was paying rapt attention

to the piano player.

George Shearing: "That Fresh Feeling"

Depending on how one counts,

this LP was around 47th for George Shearing.

It was released in 1966.

Often lumped with the many, many, many

band leaders and orchestra conductors

whose recordings are relegated to the "easy listening" and "mood music" category,

but George Shearing's music always has a more distinctive

style and tone than most; i.e., he is fully worthy of being placed in the "jazz" genre.
