"I love George Shearing. The "Shearing Sound" which is basically the piano, vibes and guitar playing the same lead line in unison is not present on the cd. Sound quality is the worst. It actually admits to taking some of this from vinyl disks.. not the tapes used to produce the vinyl... but the disks themselves. Pops and scratches are audible. Listen... there are those of you who won't mind. It is a great music piece if you're interested in the artist's history and development in the early years. I'm not a purist, but I'd like to see some effort on the part of these producers to put something audibly sound together. No effort taken here. Save your money."
