In the late 1950's I was in the AF and Shearing came to the college near our base,
and I approached him to inquire if he would permit me to record his program.
He paused, then said "I would love it if you could, BUT my musicians are all in the
Union, and I also work with Capitol records, it is kinda out of the question. I want
to thank you for asking and I hope you enjoy our program" !! What kind of a
gentleman are we talking about? One of a kind, the world misses him.

@pauldquam1 : My own personal Shearing encounter is posted along with yours under "Early Autumn". I wanted never to wash the hand he shook.

I was first in line to meet Sir George at an after-concert reception (U of U - 1959). He was sitting, hadn't quite finished a cup of tea, but set it down and actually started to stand for the introductions to begin ! Humility and ultimate class. I was only too honored in bowing to take his hand. Only fitting he had such a long and productive...nay, inspirational life.

GEORGE SHEARING playing IT NEVER ENTERED MY MINDby drdogan113,588 views
Ralph Burns' lovely ballad from '48...and the words later added by master Mercer are superb. Besides Woody, singer Tierney Sutton has an unusual uptempo take that works well. Mr. B also offered a great rendition from '52. However, this Shearing version is from the '61 LP Satin Affair, not the 1958 album shown here.
