	George Shearing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Shearing (born 13 August 1919 in London) is a well-known jazz pianist.
		Shearing's interest in classical music resulted in some performances with concert orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s, and his solos frequently draw upon the music of Debussy and, particularly, Erik Satie for inspiration.
		Shearing wrote a number of jazz arrangements of hymn tunes for the organ in collaboration with organist Dale Wood, that have been published in sheet music form.

	George Shearing - Biography - AOL Music
		For a long stretch of time in the 1950s and early '60s, George Shearing had one of the most popular jazz combos on the planet -- so much so that, in the usual jazz tradition of distrusting popular success, he tends to be underappreciated.
		Shearing's main claim to fame was the invention of a unique quintet sound, derived from a combination of piano, vibraphone, electric guitar, bass and drums.
		Shearing, who was born blind, began playing the piano at the age of three, receiving some music training at the Linden Lodge School for the Blind in London as a teenager but picking up the jazz influence from Teddy Wilson and Fats Waller 78s.

	John Pizzarelli & George Shearing :The Rare Delight of You
		Such is the case with The Rare Delight of You, the collaboration between urbane swinger/singer and guitarist John Pizzarelli and that paragon of taste and civilized swinging at the keyboard, George Shearing.
		Shearing has gone in and out of fashion over the years, but you'd never know it from his prodigious recorded output-he does what he does, which is tastefully and urbanely swinging his way through anything he chooses to play.
		Shearing is a favorite of other pianists, including his countrywoman Marian McPartland, who says he is one of her favorite pianists both to play with and to listen to.

	George Shearing: Like Fine Wine - PopMatters Music Review
		The last George Shearing CD I acquired was cut-price and I suppose planned as a minor deception, with relatively modern photographs of Shearing and the late Stephane Grappelli.
		Shearing's famous quintet was founded on his very considerable harmonic knowledge, picking up on a great deal that had happened hitherto in jazz.
		Shearing understood the bebop revolution in harmonic awareness no bother, but his oddest achievement was a vocal version (sung I think by Peggy Lee) that took "The Folks Who Live on the Hill" through a middle section that was straight Bach.

	CD Review of George Shearing - Reflections on Telarc Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		The drum-less trio with guitar/piano melody is straight from Nat’s blueprints, and Shearing sets aside his trademark locked-hands for a melodic tip of the hat to Cole’s spare soloing style.
		Shearing flashes his bebop creds on Bud Powell’s "Wail" and his own "Conception." It’s hard to believe this is a man well into his seventies.
		I was most affected by the simple beauty of Dave Brubeck’s "Summer Song." It’s Shearing at his mature best: a clean harmonization that lets the melody breathe, a solo reading as stark and unsentimental as a Kansas afternoon.

		Composer of one of the best-known jazz standards, ‘Lullaby of Birdland’, George Shearing developed with his quintet in the late forties a sound in which piano, vibes and guitar blended together to produce an intimate sound which gave the group two decades of success.
		Feather was also instrumental in putting together the George Shearing Quintet, which originally included Margie Hyams, Chuck Wayne, Denzil Best and John Levy, later Shearing’s manager.
		In 1954 Shearing added a conga-player and in 1956 joined Capitol, for whom he recorded prolifically on his own, gaining a minor British hit with his version of the classical adaptation ‘Baubles Bangles and Beads’ and with others, including Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, which included the hit ‘Let There Be Love’, and Mel Torme.

		This "Very Best of George Shearing" is actually a best-of from his years with Capitol between the years 1955-1962, with one stray track from his brief return to the label Fool on the Hill.
		This release spottily documents Shearing at the height of his creativity and sensitivity to standard and new material from other composers.
		Other notables here are the light, breezy treatment of Armando Peraza's "Estampa Cubana" from Latin Affair and the live version of "September in the Rain" from Shearing on Stage.

		Also, in spite of the fact that I was very taken with this locked hands style, I still continued to emulate certain people during the year or two which I spent as intermission pianist opposite such wonderful artists as Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald and so on.
		my wife would maintain it should be called the George Shearing/ Buddy De Franco Quartet, and his wife would say it should be vice versa.
		So, although Buddy and I have always remained very close friends, we did pursue our individual musical careers But I wanted to keep that subdued rhythm section, and that Milt Buckner thing was still in my mind.

		SPELLMAN: I remember George Shearing as a musician who I thought would have a very limited run, because his sound seemed like it would sort of play itself out, but it never did.
		Buddy DeFranco was the clarinetist and there was Shearing's piano, a bassist and drummer.
		HORWITZ: It's the best all-around collection of Shearing that I could find on one CD, A.B. It's got the important numbers from the classic quintet, "September In The Rain," "Pick Yourself Up, Dust Yourself Off," and "I'll Remember April." And in addition, it's got some very good examples of Shearing's piano playing.
