Rather than the lush orchestral and mood-oriented productions that Shearing was also known for during this period, this album puts the quintet's distinctive interplay firmly at the centre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShearing's elegant piano is joined by Emil Richards on vibraphone, Toots Thielemans on guitar and harmonica, Al McKibbon on bass and Percy Brice on drums, with Armando Peraza adding Latin percussion. The combination gives the familiar Shearing sound plenty of rhythmic colour, particularly on numbers such as \"Caravan\" and the driving finale \"Nothing But De Best\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nine-track programme moves effortlessly between jazz standards and popular songs, including \"September In The Rain\", \"On The Street Where You Live\", \"Roses Of Picardy\", \"Little Niles\", \"I'll Remember April\", \"Little White Lies\" and \"East Of The Sun\". The recording dates from 8 March 1958, making this a fine example of late-1950s George Shearing Quintet jazz and an appealing listen for fans of cool jazz, sophisticated swing, vibraphone-led jazz and classic Capitol recordings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeptember In The Rain\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn The Street Where You Live\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoses Of Picardy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLittle Niles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaravan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSide B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col start=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI'll Remember April\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLittle White Lies\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEast Of The Sun\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNothing But De Best\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ea2OJPdI5HA?si=XojfPmjYCetrQVyA\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Capitol Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55470622310742,"sku":"ST-1187","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_f41f0f46-abd7-4df6-ba08-49609e417c06.jpg?v=1790162157","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/the-george-shearing-quintet-shearing-on-stage","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
