George Shearing concert at Newport Jazz Festival on 02 Jul 59 $9.98 In the 1950s, pianist George Shearing led one of the most popular jazz combos on the planet. The uniquely refined sound of piano with vibraphone, guitar, bass and drums resonated with jazz fans and gained the British pianist a large following in the States on the strength of such early offerings as 1951′s Touch of Genius, 1952′s I Hear Music and 1955′s Shearing in Hi-Fi. Shearing is also known for composing the jazz standard “Lullaby of Birdland,” which has been recorded by countless musicians and is still covered to this day. At the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival, Shearing brought an adventurous new 16-piece group, premiering material from his recently released Capitol album, Burnished Brass. Shearing’s usual quintet of guitar, vibraphone, bass and drums was augmented for this occasion by an 11-piece brass section consisting of four trumpets, four trombones, two French horns and one tuba. The result was a sound that was soothing rather than bracing, warm and engaging rather than aggressive. In some ways, this was mood music, strictly intended to appease rather than excite — the smooth jazz of its time. Shearing did spice up the proceedings by mixing in two compelling Latin jazz numbers, “Mambo No. 2″ and “Rondo” (both from 1958′s Latin Lace album), which showcased the great Afro-Cuban percussionist Armando Peraza (later of the Carlos Santana band). They open their July 2nd set on a swinging note with a driving rendition of the 1935 Broadway show tune “Lulu’s Back in Town,” with the punchy brass section offering provocative reharmonizations on top of Pena’s steady basslines and Brice’s Jo Jones-inspired hi hat work. The evocative ballad “Sleepy Manhattan” is a schmaltzy bit of exotica with mellow horns and cascading piano lines. Next they turn back the clock to 1933 for a reworking of Oscar Levant’s “Blame It on my Youth,” another piece of easy-listening fluff that pre-dates Muzak. Their politely swinging version of “Cheek to Cheek” (which Shearing imagines was writ |
