Even people who normally hate Jazz might like his stuff. Take out the birdcalls and there really was not that much a difference stylistically with George Shearing compared to Martin Denny or Arthur Lyman....heavy use of vibes and cocktail piano, baby! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyIyJpqL82Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJHwc5co6iI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otr-YQPNyvg
