chazzer95 Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) Hello, could someone please tell me who is playing here? I thought of George Shearing with Brian Torff at first, but these guys here have more groove. Ray Brown could be the bass player. Please listen here, and then tell me who's playing what: Unknown duo of piano & bass Thanks, Saxpet Edited October 28, 2009 by Saxpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Storer Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I would definitely agree with your guess of Ray Brown. No idea who the pianist is, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stereojack Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I would definitely agree with your guess of Ray Brown. No idea who the pianist is, though. I looked up the song (Here, There and Everywhere) on ASCAP's web site, and among the artists who had recorded it was pianist David Benoit. A search through Benoit's many albums on his website and on AMG did not pinpoint which recotd it's on, but this could possibly be him.

Okay, I know the song title now, but it is not David Benoit. I checked it here: http://www.lastfm.de/music/David+Benoit/_/...+and+Everywhere The pianist at my uploaded recording sounds a bit like a disciple of Oscar Peterson. Monty Alexander perhaps? George Shearing played it as a solo ballad on his album "Out Of This World" (1970) ----> http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&a...10:kxfpxqygld0e Saxpet Edited October 29, 2009 by Saxpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chas Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 George Shearing played it as a solo ballad on his album "Out Of This World" (1970) He also recorded the tune in a duet with bassist Andy Simpkins on an MPS album called , The Many Facets Of George Shearing . This may well be it , but I don't have the album to confirm it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look for the LP. ... and the more I listen to this track, the more I'm convinced that it IS indeed George Shearing. I ordered the LP yesterday. I found it neither at amazon nor eBay, and I guess it has not been issued on CD yet. I wished though, it had another cover. Not this here ... ... rather this one: Edited October 31, 2009 by Saxpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazzer95 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 It IS indeed George Shearing., and it is on the LP "The Many Facets ...", the duet with Andrew Simpkins. Thanks for hinting me to this. Saxpet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
