█ █ comments : Blind from birth, George Shearing has █ █
█ █ parlayed a "locked hands" style of █ █
█ █ playing he learned from Milt Buckner █ █
█ █ into a long and successful career. He █ █
█ █ began recording in his late teens, █ █
█ █ coming to the United States after the █ █
█ █ war with the help of Leonard Feather. He █ █
█ █ was an active member of the New York █ █
█ █ jazz club scene in the late 1940s--his █ █
█ █ song about one of the more famous clubs, █ █
█ █ "Lullaby of Birdland," has since become █ █
█ █ a jazz standard. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ Although respected and sought-after by █ █
█ █ mainstream jazz musicians, he picked up █ █
█ █ an international hit in 1949 with his █ █
█ █ cover of "September in the Rain," and █ █
█ █ made a conscious choice to forego pure █ █
█ █ jazz for popular success. "Lennie █ █
█ █ Tristano would never be happy █ █
█ █ compromising as I'm doing," he has said. █ █
█ █ Starting on MGM, he switched to Capitol █ █
█ █ in 1953, and stayed there until choosing █ █
█ █ to concentrate on small group work in █ █
█ █ the early 1970s. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ For exotica lovers, Shearing's work on █ █
█ █ Capitol is of primary interest. Although █ █
█ █ decidedly easy on the ears, particularly █ █
█ █ in his string albums, Shearing was not █ █
█ █ entirely complacent during this era. He █ █
█ █ was an active proponent of Latin music, █ █
█ █ and his Latin Escapade was the first █ █
█ █ commercially successful Latin jazz LP. █ █
█ █ He preferred to emphasize the Latin █ █
█ █ element in his live performances, █ █
█ █ working with the congolero Armando █ █
█ █ Peraza, as in his appearance in the █ █
█ █ film, "Jazz on a Summer Day." Usually █ █
█ █ low-keyed and mellow, he could also █ █
█ █ swing hard, and never took himself too █ █
█ █ seriously. For some collectors, though, █ █
█ █ it's the covers of his Capitol LPs, many █ █
█ █ featuring beautiful women in fancy █ █
█ █ seductive settings, that are the main █ █
█ █ attraction. █ █
█ █ ---------------------------------------- █ █
█ █ Those of us familiar with George █ █
█ █ Shearing's work for Capitol from the 50s █ █
█ █ and 60s and who have been searching for █ █
█ █ those albums on CD have cause to rejoice █ █
█ █ with the release of this two-album CD. █ █
█ █ Shearing was not a virtuoso of the Art █ █
█ █ Tatum class, but his music is elegant, █ █
█ █ sophisticated and instantly █ █
█ █ recognizable. I doubt if many listeners █ █
█ █ nowadays would dance to the tunes found █ █
█ █ on LATIN LACE or LATIN AFFAIR, but one █ █
█ █ could easily do so since percussion and █ █
█ █ rhythm figure so prominently. The █ █
█ █ arrangements are clever, the tempi █ █
█ █ varied, and the performances virtually █ █
█ █ flawless, so the music can be listened █ █
█ █ to for itself. On the other hand, it can █ █
█ █ also serve as great background music for █ █
█ █ cocktail parties and/or dinners. █ █
█ █ █ █
█ █ LATIN LACE is composed mostly of what I █ █
█ █ take to be authentic Spanish/Latin █ █
█ █ American tunes. LATIN AFFAIR, however, █ █
█ █ casts Norteamericano standards in a █ █
█ █ Latin mold. If you're looking for █ █
█ █ something a little more relaxed, I █ █
█ █ recommend the BLACK SATIN/WHITE SATIN █ █
█ █ CD, another Shearing twofer. █ █
