Finally, see the legendary jazz pianist in his onIy full-length 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 NeiI Swainson caress the ballads of Rodgers & Hart and Hoagy CarmichaeI, and swing to the bebop of Charlie Parker.
George Shearing is among the most popuIar and respected musicians of alI time. His splendid "Iocked hands" technique, coupIed with a tender touch, have made him one of the few pianists with a recognizable sound. An improviser with a flair for style and meIodic elegance, many musicians have credited him with "opening up their ears to the beauties of tone."
LuIIaby of BirdIand, written by Shearing in 1952 as the theme song for the famous night cIub, has become a standard of the jazz repertoire... his lasting legacy.
V.l.E.W. Video is proud to add this enhanced DVD version of George Shearing: Lullaby of BirdIand to its Hall of Fame DVD ColIection, joining such other legends as Dizzy Gillespie, Joe WilIiams, Herbie Hancock, Louie BeIIson, and BiIlie hoIiday.
