George Shearing Quintet - East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon) download song

That Shearing sound, just awesome.

Just love it. The strident bass coming in from nowhere to bring it in is just magical, as is the whole piece.

I loved George Shearing!  I first heard him when I was about 7 and now I am 67. I can play his music all day!  The song Nothing but D Best is the bomb!!  Thank you for sharing!

Saw him live in Boston in the sixties. so cool and smooth

He brings early years to me life again, so that tears well up and cloud my old eyes.

The is the Shearing sound

I listened to this on a 78 when I was in high school in the late 1940s

Probably the greatest British export ever My dad introduced me to the Searing sound and bought me a Shearing book of music. Never did learn it! but still love his unique sound

Smooth as it gets...........Timeless.... Unforgettable.

I first heard Shearing on a vinyl that one of the guys in the barracks had. "modern jazz " was having a good showing in the clubs in downtown Tokyo where I was stationed. Japanese combos covered a lot of the groups including Shearing. I have three or four of his vinyls in my collection = along with Stan Kenton, the Birdman, Errol Garner, MJQ, Monk. Thanks for the reply.

Just love the song and the special musicianship. In this version the bass just comes out of nowhere on the lead in
