English Summary
In the 1950s, jazz pianist George Shearing was deified by none other than acclaimed American author Jack Kerouac in the groundbreaking novel On the Road. Now music lovers can find out precisely why Kerouac was so inspired by the talented jazzman thanks to this release of a concert performance featuring a notable collection of Shearing's most memorable songs. With performances of "Love for Sale", On a Clear Day", "Have You Met Miss Jones", and "Up a Lazy River", this performance will be as exciting to those yet to experience Shearing's musical mastery as it will be exhilarating for longtime fans who may have never had the opportunity to see the master perform in his element.
This DVD was recorded live at the Ambassador Auditorium Pasadena, 1981 and features George Shearing - Piano & Brian Torff - Bass. Few musicians in the history of jazz have made such a lasting popular and world-wide impression as pianist George Shearing. Deified in the 1950s by Jack Kerouac in the novel On The Road, Shearing moved from early success in his native Britain to postwar New York where he captured the spirit of successive jazz generations and created a permanent place for himself in the Hall of Fame with his quintet's September in the Rain and his own quintessentially hip composition Lullaby of Birdland.
