Bebop's Most Influential English Artist Who Was George Shearing?
George Shearing was a renowned British-American jazz pianist and composer, best known for his distinctive "Shearing sound," a smooth, swinging blend of bebop, swing, and classical influences. Born in London in 1919 and blind since birth, Shearing's unique musical style set him apart, combining elements of jazz with classical voicings. He moved to the United States in 1947, where he achieved fame with the George Shearing Quintet. His hit, Lullaby of Birdland, became a jazz standard, showcasing his melodic sensibility and subtle touch. Shearing's innovative block chord technique, a method of playing where the melody is harmonized within close chords, gave his performances a lush, full sound.

Yes, another underrated player, with a fine technique and lyricism.
Shearing was one of the big club draws of the 1950s, keeping jazz clubs financially solvent and allowing room for lesser draws who are now the big names of the time. He wasn't cutting edge, but he sold enough drinks to allow the cutting edge guys to make a living. Guys like him and Errol Garner carried the business with their popularity, only to be ignored by jazz school types.
Sadly underrated but I always loved his solos and distinctive accompaniments which blended excitement with melancholy.
Maybe add a full stop after Artist, other wise it becomes a statement, not a question.
Saw him several times, including with Torme. He's my second favorite jazz pianist after Bill Evans. Especially love his solo albums and his duo recordings with bassists Brian Torf and Neil Swainson.
I disagree. His quintet era was the pinnacle and he stuck to fingers up to his fans by never recreating that format. The New Shearing Quintet would have been amazing to experience. It is what made him famous and an artist should always show gratitude for the fans appreciation. He later on called that unique sound "just a noise".
Great work, what a privilege to have such well presented information on the greats of this music
Absolutely fascinating presentation! Brilliantly produced, perfectly narrated. Can’t thank you enough for this fantastic work.
it’s hard to overstate his influence on players that followed. His harmonic sense was breathtaking at the time.
My favorite saxophonist. Both the tenor and the alto. Great improviser at any speed and stereotype of the Bop musician.
Onyx Club pronunciation: As in "on-icks," with accent on the first syllable.
In my humble opinion, the best white trumpet player in modern jazz. I think he should have accepted the offer to replace C. Brown (when he died) in M. Roach's quintet. It would have given another dimension to his career. But he didn't want to leave California.
Another top musician who died too young from lighting the candle at both ends. Great pianist and great composer. Their album Cool Struttin' is my favorite Blue Note album.
I love this video, I am a big fan of him, thank you!
😎
Great vibraphonist and his Big Bands have never been given the credit they deserved. Great musicians, great arrangers and a lot of swing.
The most melodic tenor sax of his generation. And quite possibly the most underrated too.
@@josesanchez-os7zr next to Sonny Rollins my favorite
He is my favorite trumpet player and I personally think he made a mistake when he stopped playing the trumpet and switched to the flugelhorn. He could play at any speed and had a great sound. I really like the albums he recorded in the late fifties (especially with H. Silver and G. Mulligan), before forming the Jazztet with B. Golson.
A great alto sax, with a very personal style. I personally really like their albums with the Messengers (I think I have them all). The album he recorded under the name of Sonny Clark "Cool Struttin'" is my favorite Blue Note album.
@@josesanchez-os7zr cool strutting is a great album. Art farmer sounds great too.
Struttin
God BlessED Jimmy Raney and his sons Doug and Jon - FOREVER - the Raney family
I particularly liked his work with Shelley Manne. His lines always swung and were full of interest, never one to just run through the changes.
For sure. He could really play.
Wow.
Great lines in this clip!
Thanks for this...Terry Gibbs!...100 years old!...God Bless!...Terry Gibbs came late to me in my Jazz Listening Discovery years in which I started when I was about 13, and now 67 years old. What can you say about The Vibes...Lionel Hampton, Milt Jackson, Cal Tjader, Red Norvo,Tito Puente,Gary Burton...but it was Ruth Underwood of Zappa fame that led me down this great road of fantastic Vibe players (like I said I was 13 listening to Rock, found Zappa, and then off to absorb, and discover)...Terry Gibbs swings supreme...Just looking at the who's who of great jazz musicians he's played with pretty much says it all...Please let me know about other great Vibe musicians I might have missed out on...Much Thanks.
@@thomasprete-w5i thanks for watching. Take a look at Charlie Shoemake. He’s the best of the bunch.
@@BigOnBebop Thanks...Forgot about Bobby Hutcherson also...Need to rediscover my Blue Note and CTI Lp's
Everyone who knows the term hard bop knows Hank Mobley.
You would hope

Thank you.
I miss Cal Tjader he was a Genius
Always a pleasure. Thank you for your teaching.
Great video, i was wandering if you know about any recorded interview with fats navarro...
I don’t. I have never seen one. Do you?
Neither have I. But i am searching
Bebop is my Religion. I love this music so much.
Let us play… 🫰🏼✨🎶
I AGREE!!!!!! I listen to an hour a day.
Same here. Can't get enough.
Howard Mcghee also helped Miles get his bebop style together and taught him what Dizzy was playing.
Wonderful synopsis and a real stimulus to checking him out. I’m sad to hear that he had so many years of suffering. But it seems that he kept his spirit up and his love for music alive. Did he pass away Doug died? It must have terrible to see his son lose his way so badly.
Thanks very much for this. Respectful overview.
Thank you
Viva 🌟 Mr. Hank Mobley ❤️🌟 Thank you for this coverage
still love his music!!
Playin’ that Martin Committee trumpet❤️
A sound kind of like Dizzy Reece🎺❤️
@mikekaupa9190 ... False!
Love Maggie!
Excellent as always
thanks for the videos they make my day
Seems forgotten, or at least overlooked these days, which is a shame. I love his bop sides on Blue Note and Savoy.
My friend, let’s also mention McGhee’s association with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers as well as Horace Silver. My man was seriously 🔥🎺
It's soooo cool you make these videos, big thanks!!! 😎👍
@@johnbeam4790 thanks for watching
Tal Farlow , the best !

Moore Frank Thompson Michael Taylor Jose
Soul station is one of the greatest jazz recordings in the history of jazz.
One of the most underated great jazz musicians of all time. Also an overlooked incredibly brilliant composer's.
Wasn't he called 'the Rolls Royce of bebop pianists?'
I never heard that but it fits.
when i think of hank jones' playing, the first word that comes to mind is, "elegant."
Me Too.
