George Shearing - THE CONTINENTAL

[stupormundi7]

Save me from ignorance, when Sinatra sings " especially when you do the Continental" on his song " I won't dance". Does he refers to this song?. Thanks in advance.

This was one amazing jazz quintet! All giants in their own right, George and Chuck were grand masters! What a sound!

Or maybe it was on the B side of East of the Sun. That in your collection? Cool.

[wilkierichard]

My Mum and dad had this record. I seem to remember a lovely one chord mambo on the b side called "Down Cuba Way" or something like that.

Any chance of putting that on YouTube?

Nice.

Mr Shearing played to the delight of many at a small garden party in Alamo Ca In the early seventy's ,I was one of the select few to attend.I have been a fan ever since.!

[konidolfine]

You were able to really meet with the place that Mr Shearing played.

It was the experience that was really good for you.

Thanks for the info about the Continental. I just ordered an LP from the internet. What would we do without the resources of the internet? BTW your music selections are excellent. Keep posting. Eventually I will be uploading as well.

Thanks again

this was one of georges earliest combos its probably difficult to find on anything other than what you have here

[superspeedG]

Can anyone tell if this song is also on a CD or LP?

Thanks

[ljliljohn]

I have it on an LP: MGM SE-4169 'The Very Best of George Shearing. I saw George in person at the Earle theater in Philadelphia either in late 1949 or 1950. That's how long I've been an aficianado.  Good luck finding the LP. I would post it but frankly I don't have the capability or knowledge to do so.

[superspeedG]

George Shearing, always perfection.

[jazz0685]

That was so pleasant. Thank you very much.

[tackertone]

Another Classic, thanks for posting.

やった！パラマウント・ニュースですね。シアリング以上に感動し­ました。あの竹脇昌作氏のニュース原稿を読む物まねが得意でした­。それはともかくシアリングも大好きですよ勿論！

[konidolfine]

パラマウント・ニュースのシャレ、理解いただける方がいらっしゃ­って安心しました（笑）

私が物心ついた頃は竹脇昌作氏は既にいらっしゃらなかったのが残­念ですが、あのスピードがありながらクールなトーンによる語りは­ニューズリールの一つの規範となるものでしたね。

あ、シアリングのことを忘れてました（笑）
