Sleeve Notes:
When George Shearing devised his small band version of the Glen Miller sound, he little realised that it would take him to the top of the show-biz tree, and away from his native England, to live and work. However, although we no longer have the genius of Shearing on this side of the Atlantic, we do have musicians who love the style, pioneered by him, and who feature it in their programmes. Among his devotees are the Roy Bradley Quintet, whom we present here, with their tribute to the man whose version of “I’ll Remember April” swept the world and made sure that no matter who plays in this way, the name Shearing will always be tagged to it.
