Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this interview. Thank you!😎❤️❤️❤️
What a great interview. Agree with a prior posting, about Shearing's association with Mel Torme, absolute perfection! - two masters with one mind.
What a wonderful gift George was to humanity.
I have such wonderful memories of visiting George and Ellie Shearing at their beautiful cottage in Stow-on-the-Wold in the Cotswolds in the early 90s.
A little gem. Always been a huge admirer of George Shearing. Touched with genius.
By far I think the greatest duo was George Shearing and Mel Torme I saw them together and they were absolutely perfection !
I was thinking of that same word...they were perfect, in an effortless and natural way too.
My uncle saw him during the war, and was awe-struck; turned me on to his music, 1950 or so.
Wonderful to hear Ellie's interview about George. Battersea is very proud of Sir George Shearing and I had the privilege of organising the installation of a Battersea Society commemorative plaque on George's alma mater Linden Lodge School for the Blind which is now a private boys preparatory school. We had a lovely event with Alyn Shipton jazz broadcaster who helped with George's biography and tributes from Ellie and others, music by current pupils and a piece from Charlotte who had played a duet with George when he had visited the school when she was a pupil of Linden Lodge in the sixties. It was attended by many of George's relatives.
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful and informative video. One feels that much closer to this blessed musician after listening to his wife's touching - and often amusing - stories and anecdotes. They must have been one of the world's most charming couples. Both lovely people.
George and Ellie used to come to the local hair salon in stow on the wold, they were the most likeable couple ever! Ellie used to have a French plait with ribbons woven into it, LISA used to do it! George was a genuinely warm gentleman, Ellie had the driest but kindest sense of humour, an amazing couple! Honoured to of met them both!
wonderful interview! Honored to have known and worked with George Shearing. Ellie was a delight!
What a wonderful interview. I miss George and Ellie.
Shearing and Torme,,, so incredible.
Fascinating!
Great interview.
GREAT story....
Would you be able to contact Ellie Shearing concerning a recording George did with vocalist David Allyn which was never released, but George still had in his archives? We would love to preserve this recording. Thank you
