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.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Eddie Higgins - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes (Venus). Higgins in a quartet with Scott Hamilton. Beautiful playing all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
