My point was not clear.  

If the George Shearing Quintet brings such an extreme response (to Jim), perhaps he should not attend any cocktail parties.. 

Though the George Shearing Quintet is not my favorite jazz group, I do enjoy some of their recordings. The over the top reaction that Jim stated to the George Shearing Quintet is to be polite - very strange.

Understood.  Before I knew the name George Shearing, I recognized that sound.  It was everywhere when I was growing up.  In films and TV shows, it was often heard in the background at parties, to create an air of elegance and sophistication.  All the major film and TV composers used it at one point or another.  John Barry and Henry Mancini come to mind.

Are you trying to tell me where I should or should not puke?

This is still America!
