Shearing,George From Battersea To Broadway CD

Bits and pieces of George Shearing's early jazz recordings have come out on CD, but never with anything close to the comprehensiveness that this 4-CD set displays in all 94 of it's tracks! This box covers the first 12 years of his career, from his work with Stephane Grappelli, Hank Parry and Frank Weir to his American debut in a trio setting and winding up with his wildly popular sides with the George Shearing Quintet. Includes Squeezin' the Blues; So Rare; September in the Rain; Conception, and other sublime performances.
