Touch Of Genius - George Shearing

Minoration

Touch Of Genius
The George Shearing Quintet
MGM Records E90 & E3265
Lowe's Incorporated
1951 (E90 - 10 inch) & 1955 (E3265)

From Billboard - October 6, 1951: The smooth subtlety of George Shearing Quintet is put handsomely on parade in a package of eight fresh selections, none available previously. The bulk of the album is given to the proven Shearing method of applying his style and sound to standard ballads. Delicate and fresh approach to these evergreens with emphasis on melody line make the lustrous lure for the Shearing brigades. Three of the selections are instrumental originals, structurally modern and aurally quite intriguing. Shearing fans and modern jazz hound will find considerable pleasure in this album.
