51.An Oscar Peterson Christmas by: Oscar Peterson April 04, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.98 You Save: £1.01 ( 7%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.94
The intention is clear from the start - Oscar and his group (including a very 'Disney' string section) set out to make a gorgeous set of background music for Christmas. However, in that classic Peterson way, you realise that you cannot ignore what is coming out of the speakers - sheer sweet-talking brilliance that cheers up any cold Christmas day. Some people will say that it is meaningless music, and in a sense they are right, but they are missing the point. It is a true conquest of fun.

55.Black & White Satin by: George Shearing July 14, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.49 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £10.82
This Cd contains a wealth of Shearing magic. If you want to chill out or just wantsome real "Dinner Jazz" for that special meal, then this is it! Listen to "Laura" or "There's a Small Hotel" they are superb. The Billy May arrangements contribute greatly and George Shearing's own are subtle. Spoil yourself - you won't regret it.

57.An Evening at... by: Mel Torme and George Shearing July 01, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.66
If I was granted one chance to travel back in time, I'd be sitting in the audience at a Tormé/Shearing gig. I think the collection of Mel & George recordings on Concord should have a mention in any history of 20th century music. Two artists, and they really are artists, at the top of their game with boundless enthusiasm for 'The American Songbook'. One of the things I've always loved about these guys is that they seem unable to play one song at a time - one or two more usually sneak in and spotting the lines stolen from other songs is great fun. Of the half-dozen albums they made together, this is one of the more informal, and the recording quality is excellent. Every number is top-notch, but the opening mix of 'Just One of Those Things' and ... Read More:

I have had the four album LP set since it first appeared as a private release - well over 30 years ago. When I first saw this set, it was over £40, but I bought it and was rewarded by the missing albums 5 and 6. If you like Peterson, and you've not heard these tracks before, prepare for a treat. At this ridiculous price, you'd be forgiven for assuming this would be a rough set of cheaply recorded live takes. Wrong - the engineering is a masterwork and the performances as brilliant as they get.

60.A Vintage Year by: Mel Torme and George Shearing July 01, 1988
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.08
When Mel Torme and George Shearing, friends who recorded together often, performed at the Paul Masson Mountain Winery in 1987, each was at his peak. Torme was then sixty-two years old, but his voice had never been better--he never smoked (unusual in this industry), and his voice was mellow and mature, even better at sixty-two than it was at thirty-two. Shearing, at age sixty-eight, having signed with Concord Records in 1979, was enjoying a renaissance as a jazz pianist, making stunning recordings with Carmen McRae, Peggy Lee, and Mel Torme, among others. In this vibrant live performance, both Torme and Shearing are relaxed, more interested in communicating with the audience and each other than in special effects and pyrotechnics. This ... Read More:
