George Shearing passes.......

[Doug-Morgan]

I just saw on the New York Times website that jazz pianist George Shearing passed Monday in New York of congestive heart failure at the age of 91.

His album "Black Satin" is a favorite of mine. RIP George Shearing. He had a good, long run.

Another jazz giant leaves us. I love his dixieland version of 'The Girl From Ipanema'. May he Rest in Peace.
