Biography

Sir George Albert Shearing (13 August 1919 – 14 February 2011) was a British jazz pianist and composer who for many years led a popular jazz group that recorded for Discovery Records, MGM Records and Capitol Records. Shearing was the composer of over 300 songs, including the jazz standards "Lullaby of BirdlandLullaby of Birdland1953 · ReleaseSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 16 tracks1Lullaby Of Birdland2:382I'll Never Smile Again3:013I Remember You2:404My Silent Love2:535They All Laughed2:306Loose Leaf2:297Minoration2:298Midnight Mood3:149Simplicity2:4710Over The Rainbow2:2211How High The Moon2:4612When Lights Are Low2:4113Basic English2:1514I Hear A Rhapsody2:3315Undecided2:3516Lullaby Of Birdland2:16" and "Conception", and had multiple albums on the Billboard charts during the 1950s, 1960s, 1980s and 1990s.

Early life

Born in Battersea, London, Shearing was the youngest of nine children. He was born blind to working-class parents: his father delivered coal and his mother cleaned trains in the evening. He started to learn piano at the age of three and began formal training at Linden Lodge School for the Blind, where he spent four years.
Though he was offered several scholarships, Shearing opted to perform at a local pub, the Mason's Arms in Lambeth, for "25 bob a week" playing piano and accordion. He joined an all-blind band, Claude Bampton's Blind Orchestra, during that time, and was influenced by the records of Teddy Wilson and Fats Waller. Shearing made his first BBC radio broadcast during this time, after being befriended by Leonard Feather, with whom he started recording in 1937.
In 1940, Shearing joined Harry Parry's popular band. Around 1942 he was recruited by Stéphane Grappelli (domiciled in London during World War II) to join his band, which appeared at Hatchets Restaurant in Piccadilly in the early years of the war, and subsequently toured as "the Grappelly Swingtette" from 1943 onward. Shearing won six consecutive Top Pianist Melody Maker polls from this time onward. Around that time he was also a member of George Evans's Saxes 'n' Sevens band.

United States years

Shearing immigrated to the United States, where his harmonically complex style mixing swing, bop and modern classical influences gained popularity. One of his first performances was at the Hickory House. He performed with the Oscar Pettiford Trio and led a jazz quartet with Buddy DeFranco, which led to contractual problems, since Shearing was under contract to MGM and DeFranco to Capitol Records.

In 1949, he formed the first George Shearing Quintet, a band with Margie Hyams (vibraphone), Chuck Wayne (guitar), later replaced by Toots Thielemans (listed as John Tillman), John Levy (bass), and Denzil Best (drums). This line-up recorded for Discovery, Savoy, and MGM, including the popular single "September in the RainSeptember in the Rain2000 · Studio albumSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 20 tracks1September in the Rain3:152Little White Lies2:583East of the Sun3:084I Didn’t Know What Time It Was3:195Sorry, Wrong Rhumba3:156Jumpin’ With Symphony Sid2:427Life With Feather3:088Summertime3:149I’ll Remember April2:4910Conception2:5511Poinciana2:4512The Fourth Deuce2:5513Someone to Watch Over Me2:4914I Only Have Eyes for You2:3815The Nearness of You2:5716To Be or Not to Bop2:3917When Darkness Falls3:0118Time on My Hands2:5519I Don’t Stand a Ghost of a Chance With You3:1520Stomp in F2:53" (MGM), which sold over 900,000 copies in the United States alone with global sales in excess of one million; "my other hit" to accompany "Lullaby of BirdlandLullaby of Birdland1953 · ReleaseSpotify (search)YouTube Music (search)Tracklist · 16 tracks1Lullaby Of Birdland2:382I'll Never Smile Again3:013I Remember You2:404My Silent Love2:535They All Laughed2:306Loose Leaf2:297Minoration2:298Midnight Mood3:149Simplicity2:4710Over The Rainbow2:2211How High The Moon2:4612When Lights Are Low2:4113Basic English2:1514I Hear A Rhapsody2:3315Undecided2:3516Lullaby Of Birdland2:16". Shearing said of this hit that it was "as accidental as it could be." At this time, the novelist Jack Kerouac heard him play in Birdland, and later described the performance in his 1957 novel On the Road as "his great 1949 days before he became cool and commercial."
Shearing's interest in classical music resulted in some performances with concert orchestras in the 1950s and 1960s, and his solos frequently drew upon the music of Satie, Delius, and Debussy for inspiration. He became known for a piano technique known as "The Shearing Sound", or "Shearing voicing", a type of double melody block chord, with an additional fifth part that doubles the melody an octave lower. With the piano playing these five voices, Shearing would double the top voice with the vibraphone and the bottom voice with the guitar to create his signature sound. This piano technique is also known as "locked hands" and the jazz organist Milt Buckner is generally credited with inventing it. In Shearing's later career he played with a more conventional piano technique while maintaining his recognisable improvisational style.
In 1956, Shearing became a naturalised citizen of the United States. He continued to play with his quintet, with augmented players through the years, and recorded with Capitol until 1969. He created his own label, Sheba, that lasted a few years. Along with dozens of musical stars of his day, Shearing appeared on ABC's The Pat Boone Chevy Showroom in 1959. In 1953, he had appeared on the same network's reality show, The Comeback Story, in which he discussed how to cope with blindness.

Later career

In 1970, he began to "phase out his by-now-predictable quintet" and disbanded the group in 1978. One of his more notable albums during this period was The Reunion (1976), made in collaboration with bassist Andy Simpkins and drummer Rusty Jones, and featuring Stéphane Grappelli, the violinist with whom he had debuted as a sideman decades before.
Later, Shearing played in a trio, as a soloist, and increasingly in a duo. Among his collaborations were sets with the Montgomery Brothers, Marian McPartland, Brian Q. Torff, Jim Hall, Hank Jones, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Kenny Davern. In 1979, Shearing signed with Concord Records, and recorded for the label with Mel Tormé. This collaboration garnered Shearing and Tormé two Grammys, one in 1983 and another in 1984.
Shearing remained fit and active well into his later years and continued to perform, even after being honoured with an Ivor Novello Lifetime Achievement Award in 1993. He never forgot his native country and, in his last years, would split his year between living in New York and Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, where he bought a house with his second wife, singer Ellie Geffert. This gave him the opportunity to tour the UK, giving concerts, often with Tormé, backed by the BBC Big Band. He was appointed OBE in 1996. In 2007, he was knighted. "So", he noted later, "the poor, blind kid from Battersea became Sir George Shearing. Now that's a fairy tale come true."
He was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1992 when he was surprised by Michael Aspel while performing at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club.
In 2004, he released his memoirs, Lullaby of Birdland, which was accompanied by a double-album "musical autobiography", Lullabies of Birdland. Shortly afterwards, however, he had a fall at his home and retired from regular performing.
On 14 February 2011, Shearing died from heart failure at 91.
In October 2011, Derek Paravicini and jazz vocalist Frank Holder performed a tribute concert to the recordings of Shearing. Ann Odell transcribed the recordings and taught Paravicini the parts, as well as being the MD for the concerts. Lady Shearing also endorsed the show, sending a letter to be read out before the Watermill Jazz Club performance.

Personal life

Shearing was married to Trixie Bayes from 1941 to 1973, with whom he had his only child, a daughter named Wendy. Two years after his divorce from Bayes he married singer Ellie Geffert.
He was a member of the Bohemian Club and often performed at the annual Bohemian Grove Encampments. He composed music for two of the Grove Plays.
