The Sounds of Shearing
A Knight to Remember
Legend. Icon. All this and more. The music and genius of the George

rising.

Each “fifth” is a “Hall of Famer” in
his own right, supporting (and soloing) for the likes of Sir George
Shearing, Frank Sinatra, Miles Davis, Benny Goodman, Joe Pass, Les
Brown, Chet Baker, Phil Woods, Quincy Jones, Lalo Schifrin and highly
sought after by every Studio in town. Each one brings a sensitivity
and well-honed perfection to a seamless blend that transports the listener
back to those moments when the sounds of the original George Shearing
Quintet washed over you like silk being floated down and over your
body. Caressing. Floating. Absorbing. Falling into the sound and taking
a free fall ride on the magical feathers of each instrument soothing
your ears and soul. Under
the direction of Charlie Shoemake.
