Strolling with George Shearing by George Shearing Quintet.
Piano with vibes, guitar, bass and drums. Perfect jazz soundtrack for strolling in the rain 🙂 Especially while being at home and looking outside the window how others are getting wet 🤗

Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed in the last week here on Smorgasbord. Not a great deal to report this week that is newsworthy but thank goodness for the blog which has kept me out of mischief… well almost! The weaher has turned a little warmer the last couple of days and I notice the first signs of the primroses under the hedge poking their heads about ground. I hope they…

「Touch of Genius !」George Shearing Quintet '51
クール・ジャズ初心者の頃、「Conception」のオリジナルが聴きたくて買ったアルバム。US盤だけどかなりレアなのでは?
その曲以外にも脳みそがグニュっとなりそうなコード進行の曲が有ったり、デンジル・ベストのムーヴが「Geneva's Move」というタイトルで収録されてたり、何かとお得なアルバム。(一応、A面B面とも前半は分かりやすい曲をソロ超短めでお送りしてますw)
そう、メンツがトリスターノ派とも演ってたデンジル・ベスト(ds)に、ギターはチャック・ウェインが居たり、NYクール派の創世記のメンツが揃ってます。ピアノトリオにフロントがヴァイブとギターって編成。
ドラムはひたすらブラシでリズム・キープ、ベースはルート中心…と余計な事をしないよう、厳しい統制が敷かれたリズムセクションの上での演奏…以前は全然面白くないと思ってたのですが、クラブ・ミュージックを通ったりして来た僕には、今、これが斬新で面白くて堪りません。めちゃくちゃクールだと思います。
蓄音機みたいな音の向こうで凄い演奏が繰り広げられてる…って感じのアルバムです。

George Shearing Bossa Nova and Brasilia Santos coffee - what a nice combination!
His crew consists of Laurindo Almeida, Richard Pena, and Clare Fisher among others. Each of them provided some originals for this session to be played among the usual suspects of the genre. The whole package is arranged with taste, far from being overproduced.
