This set is marvelous. Many times George Shearing is overlooked in jazz annals. He was a very influential musician in his time (and also the time of my youth). Love this. thanks for the post.

Love this video! I don't know how many times I repeat Blue Prelude and You Came A Long Way From St. Louis. One of my all time favorite female vocalists. A classy dame indeed.

Two of the greatest producing one of the greatest. Like the other contributer, I'll never be without this album. However, I'm sure my original vinyl (which incidentally was stolen!!!!) had an orchestral track featuring Shearing entitled something like 'Blue Autumn' or Autumn something which unfortunately is not on the CD.

I remember stealing this album when I was 12 years old. I have never regretted it. Later the album was stolen from me!!! Ill gotten gains!!! I now own it on vinyl, cassette tape and CD - I do not intend to EVER be without this album again!!!
