George Shearing Passed Away February 14th


My first introduction to George Shearing was a recording he made with Carmen McRae called "Two for the Road". I nearly wore it out and to this day I can turn the worst of days around simply by giving it a listen. His touch, his ability to interpret a tune and his great talent for "locked hands" technique, playing parallel melodies with two hands truly set him apart.
