Nights in Black Satin

The George Shearing Quintet - Black Satin (1956)

Hello Friends,

Turn the lights down low and stop watering down those drinks 'cuz tonight we're enjoying those "satin-smooth" sounds of Mr. George Shearing.  


Shearing-- a skilled jazz pianist with be-bop and Latin influences-- leads his quintet while Billy May arranges the orchestra making for a most seductive listening experience.  Lyrical and mysterious melodies are set to a lush and velvety backdrop.  Black Satin, indeed!


This is serious jazz for the Sears crowd.


RATING: 4 longing gazes out of a possible 5
