George Shearing Quintet Live Jazz from Club 15 Release Date: 2006 05 02 Label: Request Records Live Jazz from Club 15 dates from 1966 in the Blue Room of the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas and presented by the CBS Radio Network. The George Shearing Quintet here includes Hagood Hardy on vibes, Joe Pass, Bobby Whitlock, and John Garron on drums. Sound quality is not the finest, but it is more than passable on this semi-legal recording. The program is mainly standards with a few originals tossed in for good measure. Shearing's group is in true, elegant, lightly swinging form here, especially on Irving Berlin's "Be Careful It's My Heart," Lennon and McCartney's "Yesterday," and the truly and always beautiful original "Lullaby of Birdland." Shearing completists -- and there are many -- will be especially interested in the disc because of the time period and the unusual lineup.
