B. Goren, I have gone through the first two discs and was very impressed. Like Bev, I got it mainly for Louis Stewart but I had not heard any Shearing before and after listening to this I don't know why people would be "anti" Shearing. It really is a trio in the classic sense and everyone gets their share of solo space, its not all Shearing, in fact Louis Stewart seems to start off alot of the tunes. I know its a MPS edition and all that but I don't think I've ever heard a guitar sound as nice before.
