Good Bye George Shearing


Saw the obit that the great George Shearing died. A friend of mine introduced me to his music about 10 years ago. I have a number of his albums both as a solo pianist, with his trio, and as instrumental backup with Mel Torme. What an artist. Good bye George may you rest in peace!

He will be sorely missed. A true gentleman, with a wicked sense of humour. I'm sure somewhere in the heavens he is entertaining the masses and having fun doing what he always did best.
NPR/Fresh Air replayed an interview with him yesterday and it had me a bit teary. Thanks for all, George.
My grandpa always mentioned him. A great jazz legend. People will always remember you.
RIP
