This week on Piano Jazz With Marian Mcpartland
George Shearing
English pianist George Shearing has appeared on Piano Jazz four times over the last 30 years — a record shared with Bobby Short for most appearances by a single guest. In this program from 1987, McPartland reminisces with her fellow countryman about obscure British tunes and the two have fun re-harmonizing "God Save the Queen." Shearing sings and plays Cole Porter's "After You" and the two end with a two piano version of "Indiana."
