1	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 6: Rhapsodesia (1996) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.13!
2	Nat King Cole Sings/George Shearing Plays (1961) more music like this by Nat King Cole & George Shearing Although it would have been interesting to hear Nat Cole play some piano and perhaps accompany a vocal by George Shearing instead of exclusively the other way around, this session was a big success. Cole is in prime form on such songs as "September Song," "Pick Yourself Up," and "Serenata." Shearing's accompaniment is tasteful and lightly swinging ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $14.56!
3	Perfect Match (1988) more music like this by George Shearing with Ernestine Anderson Pianist George Shearing and singer Ernestine Anderson (who had teamed up briefly at the 1987 Fujitsu-Concord Jazz Festival) collaborated on this full-length Concord release. With strong assistance from bassist Neil Swainson and drummer Jeff Hamilton, Shearing and Anderson mostly stick to standards and their versions uplift the veteran songs. "Body ... see all copies from $5.46! new only from $11.16!
4	In the Night (1958) more music like this by George Shearing With its progressive-leaning jazz and modernist blues vocals, In the Night was the prototype for the piano-vocals collaboration record that George Shearing would remake with Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson while at Capitol (and many others afterwards). In July 1957, just after Dakota Staton's immense success with "The Late, Late Show," ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $11.13!
5	An Evening at Charlie's (1983) more music like this by Mel Tormé & George Shearing Mel Tormé and pianist George Shearing had recorded together twice for Concord prior to this live set; both dates (An Evening with George Shearing & Mel Tormé and Top Drawer) gave Shearing top billing. For their third outing, the dynamic duo are up to their usual high level, with assistance from bassist Don Thompson and drummer Donny Osborne. Among ... see all copies from $8.74! new only from $10.71!
6	Hopeless Romantics (2005) more music like this by Michael Feinstein/George Shearing It's a shame that songwriter Harry Warren's name is not as well known as some of his contemporaries like Cole Porter or Irving Berlin. For whatever reason, writing dozens of hit songs like "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" and winning three Academy Awards wasn't enough to get the name recognition he deserved. Hoping to change that, Michael Feinstein pays ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $12.83!
7	The Definitive George Shearing (2002) more music like this by George Shearing British-born pianist George Shearing's work for the MGM and Capitol record labels from the late '40s to the early '60s is collected on this 21-track compilation. Beginning with four tracks recorded for MGM in 1949 with his unique quintet of guitar, bass, drums, and vibraphone (which would double the melody he was playing with his right hand), ... see all copies from $6.02! new only from $10.44!
8	Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The 16th volume of the Ultra-Lounge series is one of its finest. As its subtitle indicates, Ultra-Lounge, Vol. 16: Mondo Hollywood focuses on soundtrack music reinterpreted in a lounge style. This tactic works nicely because the material chosen is resilient enough to withstand the interesting interpretations they get here: Good examples include ... see all copies from $7.49! new only from $7.49!
9	Beauty and the Beat! (1959) more music like this by Peggy Lee/George Shearing Upon its first release Beauty and the Beat! was billed as a live recording from a Miami convention of disc jockeys. Though Peggy Lee and George Shearing did in fact perform there (and attempts were made to record them for later release), the songs heard on the subsequent LP were recorded in the studio and overdubbed with rather obvious canned ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.88!
10	The Best of George Shearing (1955-1960) (1995) more music like this by George Shearing see all copies from $6.24! new only from $6.41!
11 view cover	The Complete Concord Recordings (2002) more music like this by Mel Tormé & George Shearing Beside Marty Paich, none of Mel Tormé's collaborators exerted such a large influence on the singer's career as George Shearing, the pianist whose understated, expressive accompaniment contributed to Tormé's resurgence during the early '80s. Their six excellent albums together -- two of which, An Evening With... and Top Drawer, earned Grammy awards ... see all copies from $37.11! new only from $37.11!

13 view cover	Jazz Moods: Feeling Sentimental (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Jazz Moods: Feeling Sentimental collects reflective, romantic, and wistful jazz pieces featuring artists like Karrin Allyson, Jeff Linsky, Scott Hamilton, and Marian McPartland. Mel Tormé's "It's Easy to Remember," Rosemary Clooney's "When October Goes," George Shearing's "My Favorite Things," and Stefan Scaggiari's "If I Could" are some of the ... see all copies from $5.45! new only from $5.45!
14 view cover	An Elegant Evening (1985) more music like this by George Shearing with Mel Tormé This collaboration by pianist George Shearing and vocalist Mel Torme differs from most of their others in that the performances are duets (rather than with bass and occasional drums) and the repertoire sticks exclusively to ballads. With the exception of the closing "You're Driving Me Crazy" (which is taken at a medium bounce), all of the tunes ... see all copies from $12.03! new only from $12.52!
15 view cover	Ultra-Lounge: Christmas Cocktails, Pt. 2 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Christmas Cocktails, Vol. 2 is an entertaining but unspectacular collection of classic carols performed in a lounge fashion. For connoisseurs of kitsch, it's an entertaining disc, but other listeners might find the camp a little too much to take. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $4.43!
16 view cover	The Swingin's Mutual! (1961) more music like this by George Shearing Quintet with Nancy Wilson The music on The Swingin's Mutual!, a dozen selections featuring the George Shearing Quintet includes six that have vocals by a young Nancy Wilson, and has been reissued on CD by Capitol with five additional tracks. This was one of Wilson's most jazz-oriented dates (even if she was never a jazz singer) and is highlighted by her vocals on "The ... see all copies from $5.10! new only from $15.51!
17 view cover	Black & White Satin (1998) more music like this by George Shearing see all copies from $8.43! new only from $15.75!

19 view cover	The Shearing Spell/Velvet Carpet (2000) more music like this by George Shearing In 2000, Collectors' Choice Music released The Shearing Spell/Velvet Carpet, which contained two complete albums -- The Shearing Spell (1955, originally released on Capitol) and Velvet Carpet (1956, also originally on Capitol) -- by George Shearing on one compact disc. Rob Theakston, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.29! new only from $15.29!
20 view cover	The Shearing Touch (1960) more music like this by George Shearing Shearing's highly stylized piano playing is present here, at a time when contemporary Dave Brubeck was doing much of the same stylistically. He is using similar unorthodox time signatures, incorporating classical techniques, as well as using light pop melodies, accents, and subtle rhythms. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide see all copies from $6.24!
21 view cover	Favorite Things (1997) more music like this by George Shearing George Shearing's solo piano CD Favorite Things doesn't hide his early background in the study of classical music, but at times it celebrates it. The only truly arranged piece on the album, "My Favorite Things," incorporates a portion of a Scarlatti sonata, while "Not You Again" hints at Tchaikovsky. "Taking a Chance on Love" was inspired by ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $26.68!
22 view cover	Latin Lace/Latin Affair (1999) more music like this by George Shearing In 1999, EMI released Latin Lace/Latin Affair, which contained two complete albums -- Latin Lace (1958, originally released on Capitol) and Latin Affair (1959, originally released on Capitol) -- by George Shearing on one compact disc. Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide see all copies from $13.65! new only from $13.65!
23 view cover	Shearing Piano (1956) more music like this by George Shearing This is one of the earliest releases to feature George Shearing exclusively as a solo pianist, and the CD reissue of the long unavailable LP adds ten previously unissued tracks. He is rather surprisingly low-key on most of these interpretations, even though they are mostly ballads, possibly because of Capitol's original marketing concept. "Stella ... see all copies from $12.00! new only from $14.43!
24 view cover	Top Drawer (1983) more music like this by George Shearing with Mel Tormé A year after their first meeting on record, pianist George Shearing and singer Mel Torme (this time with Don Thompson on bass) had an equally successful joint recording. The material is often a bit offbeat (including the obscure swing song "Shine on Your Shoes," "How Do You Say Auf Wiedersehen" and the early bop vocal "What's This") but there are ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
25 view cover	The Complete Gershwin Songbooks (1995) more music like this by Various Artists The Complete Gershwin Songbooks collects three discs also released separately: 'S Wonderful, 'S Marvelous and 'S Paradise.
