Although I am hugely into Jazz, I am embarrassed to say I never really heard a lot of George Shearing. I assumed he was a bop pianist, and since I already have all the monk, Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans I need, I did not want to spend money on more of the same.
But, I got this album and it is anything but bop! This is lounge at it's finest! (The album cover with the sophisticated models should have given me a hint) But anyway, this is a great double CD. It has Vibes, bongos, and lush,dreamy strings! Anyone into swanky lounge music would love this CD! I believe a few of the cuts made it on the ultra-lounge CD series.
When you say "double CD" do you mean two LPs on one CD as in the Razor & Tie 1998 reissue of "Black & White Satin"? Or do you mean two LPs, two CDs as in there is another version of these albums out there that actually preserves the gorgeous cheesecake cover art in its entirety?
Do tell!
Peace,
