If you close your eyes you are almost transported back in time to a high class lounge where real music was being played. Not only do I love this set, but my Mom, whom introduced me to Shearing's music, loves it, too. This music was way before my time, but some music is timeless. I highly recommend this set. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such charm and class *by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2020* Good selection of recordings. Listening to George Shearing is like being in a soigne nightclub or other intimate gathering...candlelight, martinis, smartly dressed people and George Shearing. Put him with Sarah Vaughn and you could die from sophisticated romance. ### ⭐⭐⭐ TWO GREAT ALBUMS, THE REST A MIXED BAG *by D***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2014* This collection of albums by West Coast trumpeter-bandleader Shorty Rogers is more of a mixed bag than several other of these collections but it is redeemed by the two best albums in the collection, from 1955-56: The Swinging Mr. Rogers (19955) and Wherever the Five Winds Blow (1956). Both feature first rate teams. In Swinging, the other horn is multi-reedist Jimmy Giuffre, and the rhythm section is made up of the best the West Coast offered then, pianist Pete Jolly, bassist Curtis Counce, and drummer Shelly Manne. Giuffre, whose star was a far more interesting a soloist than Rogers, especially when he played his chalumeau-register clarinet, and Manne was an inventive, subtle and propulsive drummer, who is under-rated today. The least effective cut on the set is "Michele's Meditation" (soupy), the most effective -really great jazz--are a booted up version of "Isn't It Romantic?" and a Basie-ish sounding blues, "Martians Go Home," on which Manne plays an understated and subversively sly solo. Winds is equally good: with Giuffre again, Lou Levy on piano, bassist Ralph Pena and Larry Bunker on drums. It's a laid back, highly swinging session that should p[lease the most discriminating enthusiast of jazz music.I can't say much good about the other six albums except that there are cute, tricky musical moments scattered throughout and many of the soloists perform adequately to well. That doesn't improve the quality of either song selection or arrangements. The first two albums (on CD 1) are generic big band efforts, the second spiced up by the addition of Andre Previn playing vaguely jazz-ish-but-more-like-cocktail piano. There is then a mediocre big band take on the Count and lastly two of the ubiquitous theme albums that record company producers felt would `sell' that difficult minority taste, jazz, in the late fifties -thus, an album of Swinging Nutcracker and a second entitled Shorty Rogers Meets Tarzan. Nuff said.Would I buy this collection again, knowing what I know now about it and having listened to it? Yes, but really just for the two albums, The Swinging Mr. Rogers and Wherever the Five Winds Blow. Shorty Rogers was an instrumentalist of limited talent, and the music on albums released under his name was often corny, but on those two sets, he hit gold. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/123023096-8-classic-albums](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/123023096-8-classic-albums) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
