... and a fine playlist it is too, covers off the jazz very well and leaves Hollywood well alone

The first of the next run of Jazz Library repeats will be the George Shearing edition done for his 90th birthday. It's due to go out at midnight on the first Saturday in April.

I listened to JRR last night - I never realized what a hugely talented and EXTREMELY WITTY artist George Shearing was! For me, the highlight in a programme that didn't have a duff note in it was his 'duet' with Mel Torme. Oddly enough, just before tuning to JRR, I'd been listening to some of Dudley Moore's pianistic antics in 'Beyond The Fringe' - also very witty and very well played.
