 Old Smoothie
Just love this C.D. A lot of the old standards in the Shearing style. Vibes and a couple of the other instruments playing the melody, softly below, while George is doodling on the piano above. Very creative while at the same time soothingly therapeutic.

 Mood music for late night listening
A polished performance by George with a lush orchestral backing provided by Billy May. Not exciting but very pleasant and perfect for sitting in front of an open fire with a glass of wine.

 Classice George
Two of Shearing's great Capitol album's finally released, with arrangements by Billy May. If you had these on lp, then by all means replace that worn out copy with this. Let's hope for more classic Shearing! This album is accented with a light latin beat and that smooth Shearing sound. You can't go wrong with this one!

 Youngsters & The Shearing Sound
How can a boy of 13 years of age listen to an LP like Black Satin?!? Well I did, when a friend of my parents put on the LP during a visit. This was in 1971! And now, 36 later is still Shearing, and it always will be! What a elegant, totally relaxing and romantic sound! Whether it is the Quintet alone, or with Orchestra-unsurpassed style and taste!!! Fan forever-South Africa
