I know Shearing's three MPS LPs with NHØP & Louis Stewart . . . and his solo LP, My Ship. But I had no idea that The Way We Are existed. Will give it a listen.

I found the LP years ago without ever having heard it, and bought it just for that track. I couldn't even imagine how the quintet would play it. Turns out it's a killer version!

Fred Beckett was a great trombonist! I'm listening to a classic from the golden age of Columbia Legacy reissues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then everything works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then everything works for me. I like most of the MGM-era stuff, but from Capitol on, my favorite Shearing albums (and individual tracks) have Latin percussion. I like his solo piano albums, too, though I don't spin them often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gheorghe Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 2 hours ago, soulpope said: 👌👍 .... Strange, so much as I liked "Back to the Track", I didn´t find much stuff for me on the "Waitin´ game". Somehow like I don´t like the before unissued album they made with Freddie Redd. I love his compositions, his playing and his choice of musicians so much and was so disappointed by I think it´s titled "Redd´s Blues", with an obscure drummer, who doesn´t fit in, and the ensemble playing and the horn solos are also a mess.....

jazzbo Posted October 3 Report Share Posted October 3 (edited) Fiona the dachshund has decided that this is the first COLD morning. Feels welcome to me! Starting off with Tina Brooks "Minor Move" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD. I wish they had used the original Japanese cover. But this sure sounds better than the last release!
