If you didn't know that it was Shearing on piano, you'd think you were listening to a well-schooled pianist who was brought up in the Latin Jazz tradition. George had some pretty wicked Latin Jazz piano chops. And, in his hands [no pun intended], he really brings out the beauty of ballads like "Yours" and "Without You" played in the Latin Jazz style. This album is from the mid-1950s when the Mambo craze was in full force in NYC.
