Sacred Sounds from George Shearing for Piano: Based on Early American Hymn Tunes

Description

George Shearing was one of the most well-known jazz pianists of his era. As a composer, he is known for his hundreds of popular titles, including the jazz standard “Lullaby of Birdland.” In the late 1970s, Shearing produced his only foray into classical church music, a volume of organ pieces. Shearing's appealing jazz-inflected idiom makes for distinctive and memorable treatments of classic American hymn tunes. Shearing collaborated closely with Dale Wood in creating the details of these idiomatic organ arrangements.
