Piano
by Scott Yanow This relaxed solo set features the great pianist George Shearing playing 14 songs; some of them (such as Mel Torme's "Daisy," "Thinking of You," "Miss Invisible" and two of Shearing's originals) are quite obscure. The emphasis is on slower tempos and relaxed improvising but Shearing's distinctive solos and subtle creativity hold on to one's interest throughout. A tasteful set.
