George Shearing • Verve Jazz Masters 57

Review

All of the CDs in this extensive Verve reissue series (this is really the 57th set) are samplers designed to give listeners some of the highlights of the artist's career. The 16 titles on the album are taken from pianist George Shearing's period on MGM, the early years of his famed piano-vibes-guitar-bass-drums quintet. Highlights include the original version of his greatest hit "Lullaby of Birdland" plus "September in the Rain," "East of the Sun," "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid," "How High the Moon" and "I'll Remember April." To annoy completists, a previously unheard alternate take of "I Wished on the Moon" is included. Among the sidemen are vibraphonists Marjorie Hyams, Joe Roland and Cal Tjader and guitarists Chuck Wayne, Dick Garcia and Toots Thielemans. There is plenty of classic music on this CD; hopefully it will someday be released complete and in chronological order.

Revisar

Todos los CDs de esta extensa serie de reediciones de Verve (este es realmente el set 57) son muestras diseñadas para dar a los oyentes algunos de los puntos más destacados de la carrera del artista. Los 16 títulos del álbum están tomados del período del pianista George Shearing en MGM, los primeros años de su famoso quinteto de piano-vibras-guitarra-bajo-batería. Lo más destacado es la versión original de su mayor éxito "Lullaby of Birdland" más "September in the Rain", "East of the Sun", "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid", "How High the Moon" y "I'll Remember April". Para molestar a los completos, se incluye una toma alternativa inédita de "I Wished on the Moon". Entre los acompañantes están los vibrafonistas Marjorie Hyams, Joe Roland y Cal Tjader y los guitarristas Chuck Wayne, Dick García y Toots Thielemans. Hay mucha música clásica en este CD; esperemos que algún día se publique completo y en orden cronológico.
