George Shearing's career now spans more than 65 years. This box set of 97 tracks focuses on the first 12 years of that career. From solo piano and recordings with Stephane Grappelli, Harry Parry and Frank Weir, to his American debut in a trio setting. This box culminates with the early recordings of The George Shearing Quintet, that turned the Shearing sound into one of the most loved sounds of the twentieth century.

Compiled and produced for release by Joop Visser.
