Music reviews of Grand Piano
Music Review: Shearing meets Satie and Chopin (and he sings!)
Rating: 4 Stars
Second in the trilogy of Concord solo Shearing albums (the others being the similarly dry titles "Piano" and "More Grand Piano"), this album presents some lovely examples of his affection for tasteful jazz with classical overtones. "It Never Entered My Mind" is so close to a Satie "Gymnopedie" you might be fooled by a blindfold listening test if you didn't know the tune. "Mack the Knife" gets a grim, sparse reading that is the exact opposite of Bobby Darin's hit version. "How Insensitive" blatantly exposes the shared harmonic structures of the Jobim tune and a Chopin prelude. And in "Imitations", Shearing even sings... he should certainly keep his day job, but his wavering crooning and the searching lyrics are a good match. As on the other solo Concord Shearing albums, my only reservation is with the up-tempo numbers, which seem out of place and lack originality. Hardly a reason to pass up this wonderful CD, though.
