- Transfer notes: Honestly, the pressing quality of this record wasn't that great. I did my best with click removal and a bit of noise reduction, but there's still quite a bit of imperfections in this transfer. I hope you still find it listenable.

A very, very special album to me. Dad bought this record for me years and years ago, and it is like no other. Mr. Shearing plays solo piano throughout, and both the playing and the recording are absolutely stunning. The MPS Studios piano sounds so warm and full. You owe it to yourself to buy this on vinyl and listen to it that way as well; you will be amazed at how good it sounds (although this upload by Bernie's Bootlegs sounds great, too).
You know, I hesitate to write this, fearing it will be misunderstood. Have wondered if being sightless couldn’t be advantageous if born sightless. In Shearings case, he had no distractions. His head was filled with notes and he knew what those notes sounded like since his hearing was fine. This has just been a curiosity of mine. I lightly claim that George Shearing achieved greatness simply BECAUSE he was blind. Those mature readers will understand what I’ve tried to say.
about to do some studying and youtube suggested me a 10 hour long "sitting outside in 1949 with music playing in the other room" videos. clicked it and Shazam'd a song called "Guess ill go back home" by Glenn Miller, but it came up as George Shearing (on the Nat King album), and this is what came up on youtube searching for it.
what a awesome accident
Wow thats duper lucky
Fabulous album, recorded on one of the very best piano n the world, the very famous piano at MPS studio in Villingen, Scharztwald, Germany, Steinway Hamburg, handed made. I went to this place a dozens time. Every body played on that piano, Basie, Duke, Oscar, Erroll, Bill Evans, Monty Alexander, George, Friedrich Gulda, Andre Previn etc etc and they all said that was one of the 3 best piano in the world at that time. This recording is a great Masterpiece to me. You did a great job on that Man. Bravo !
its a Bösendorfer Imperial Grand
@@romi8399you can hear the deep mid tones of the Bosendorfer!🙏
Why the hell has no one told me about this before!!!!! ❤😂🎉
This is my most favorite solo piano album of all time. Incredible blending of jazz and classical concepts, and some unexpected tunes and singing along the way. Mr. Shearing creates a great musical conversation with each piece, taking you through thoughtful ups and downs, choruses and verses, making this recording stand out in stark contrast to other solo jazz recordings that might lose you along their meandering way. One of the finest solo recordings for piano ever produced no doubt. I believe the original liner notes speak of an experimental recording technique as well, which is responsible for the rich base, balanced tones, and incredibly full sound for one piano.
What an amazing performance! Thanks for Shearing !
Thank you for your Lasting GENIUS and beautiful SOUL from Nigel Nash in Great Britain
thank you for uploading this; one of the most beautiful solo piano albums of all time imo. george was the best
This is gorgeous 🎹 I bought this LP few years ago in Villingen MPS studio where we did recorded my trio for HGBS records....
Fantastic swinging version of When I fall in love. The runs alone are totally fascinating!!!
Thanks, Sweetie!! Hugs from this Grandma!!! ;-)
Thank you for the transcription. The piano sounds excellent, great tone and clarity over the whole range, good job, great music.
Debussy at the beginning ! Thank you Bernie.
Before Sir George left England for America , he was acclaimed as the white Art Tatum . The great Bud Powell paid him a wonderful compliment, though a bit backhanded. He said he cannot believe a blind man can play like that.
Thx for upload! :)
Grande Immenso unico!!!!
Thank you brother!
Wow. Thanks for sharing
Wunderschöne Klangteppiche!
Das nimmt mich mit auf eine Reise!
Great album. You did a great job on removing noises. Thx
Great album and piano arrangements.
He uses La cathedral engloutie, and it works so fine here with My ship. Incredible touch. I have the LP. Besides Yesterdays my favorite track.
Lovely
I am mad at this person - his fault, that I became a pianist!!! :)
