A tribute to George Shearing
George Shearing died on Monday. We devote most of the second hour to his superb music
George Shearing dies at his Manhattan home on Monday. He was 91 and had produced some of the most popular jazz of the 20th Century. Most of the second hour of the programme is taken up with George's music and an interview that he gave in 1994.
There's also music from Lou Donalson, Bob Greene and a wonderful New Orleans band recorded in the mid-1960s. Gordon Goodwin and Take 6 combine to give us their very best on a song Frank Sinatra made famous.
Dave Brubeck combines with Michael Brecker and waltz together with a specially-composed piece.
