This is classic George Shearing. Beautiful old songs, played as smooth and lovingly as moonlight shining through the wine....

3.0 out of 5 stars A listener of Jazz, February 17, 2000

This is a fine cd, but its a little too commercial. I like the old quintet recordings...the strings add that extra element of relaxation, not the same fire that the quintet owned, with Shearing's lock-handed solos. Not a bad cd, just not as fitting to my taste.

The only thing that disappointed me with this CD was that it was only slightly over 30 minutes. Just as you get "mellowed out" listening to the smooth Shearing style, it's over. If you like the easy Shearing style, you'll enjoy this CD. There are only 10 tracks on this CD; too bad, I could have used 4 or 5 more to really "mellow out" as we used to say back in the day when Shearing was at his height of popularity. Shearing fans will like this CD even though it's over too quick.
