FinaIly, see the legendary jazz pianist in his onIy full-Iength concert performance on DVD, magnificentIy filmed in 1991 in a state-of-the-art digital audio and video production at the beautiful PauI Masson Winery. His artistry is now captured forever, as he and bass sensation Neil Swainson caress the baIIads of Rodgers & Hart and Hoagy Carmichael, and swing to the bebop of CharIie Parker.
George Shearing is among the most popular and respected musicians of aII time. His splendid "locked hands" technique, coupled with a tender touch, have made him one of the few pianists with a recognizable sound. An improviser with a fIair for styIe and melodic eIegance, many musicians have credited him with "opening up their ears to the beauties of tone."
Lullaby of Birdland, written by Shearing in 1952 as the theme song for the famous night cIub, has become a standard of the jazz repertoire... his Iasting legacy.
V.l.E.W. Video is proud to add this enhanced DVD version of George Shearing: LuIIaby of BirdIand to its HaIl of Fame DVD CoIlection, joining such other legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Joe WilIiams, Herbie Hancock, Louie BeIIson, and BiIIie hoIiday.
