Watch Shearing, George - Jazz Legend

This DVD was recorded live at the Ambassador Auditorium Pasadena, 1981 and features George Shearing - Piano & Brian Torff - Bass. Few musicians in the history of jazz have made such a lasting popular and world-wide impression as pianist George Shearing. Deified in the 1950s by Jack Kerouac in the novel On The Road, Shearing moved from early success in his native Britain to postwar New York where he captured the spirit of successive jazz generations and created a permanent place for himself in the Hall of Fame with his quintet's September in the Rain and his own quintessentially hip composition Lullaby of Birdland.
