George Shearing - "Like Fine Wine"
$14.98
MAC 1015
The fourteen songs that make up the particular body of work that is “Like Fine Wine” are performed in a trio setting, and feature Neil Swainson on bass and Reg Schwager on guitar. Although he has over 300 compositions to his credit and is as venerated a composer as he is a performer, on “Like Fine Wine” Shearing chose to include classic tunes by John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Oscar Pettiford, and Benny Goodman, among others.

Terry Gibbs - "52nd & Broadway: Songs Of The Be Bop Era"
$14.98
MAC 1018
This CD is a new take on twelve tunes that represent one of the most influential eras in the history of jazz, the bepop era. “52 nd and Broadway” is more than a historical tribute. To bring such timeless classics as “Lemon Drop,” Cherokee,” “Round Midnight” and “Night in Tunisia” into the present, Terry brought in a strong rhythm section – Tom Ranier on piano, Dave Carpenter on bass and Jeff Hamilton on drums – and a string section of 16 violins, 4 violas and 4 cellos in arrangements that are often more big band-like than orchestral. In other words, the strings swing!
