Music reviews of Christmas With George Shearing Quintet
Music Review: A Small Criticism...
Rating: 4 Stars
First off, if you like Shearing's delicate touch, sense of swing, and tasteful musicality, you'll really enjoy this album as I do. I have two small problems with it that take away the fifth star. Firstly, although it's generally a smooth recording, as with many Telarc jazz productions, it lacks definition in the treble range. For example, the drummer's cymbals are virtually inaudible. Secondly, Mr. Shearing succumbs to the temptation to sing (croak, really) on the last track, which causes the program to end funereally.
My advice would be: Buy a copy. Turn up the treble. Program out the last tune. Enjoy.
Description of Christmas With George Shearing Quintet
Our Seller Notes and Fine Print Department :.. This is in very good shape, on original CD..From Telarc, all inserts.George Shearing's quintet work is instantly recognizable. His use of guitar (Reg Schwager) and vibes (Don Thompson) closely following the gently swinging lead of his piano work has become a signature. On Christmas, the Shearing Quintet (here rounded out by the bass of Neil Swainson and the drums of Dennis Mackrel) slip effortlessly over the likes of "White Christmas," "Winter Wonderland," and "Let It Snow" with a breezy, light touch. With tasteful solos that extend off the main melody and into more heady waters, Christmas is an entirely enjoyable release and perfect party music. For serious listening, this disc also boasts a fantastic recording. --S. Duda
