Step out of the rain and come on in. George is already at the piano taking requests. The band is getting ready to play. Don't be shy, feel free to sit in and play a number.

About the music selections George plays under the "Request a song " drop down:

Days of Wine & Roses, Tennessee Waltz, Beatrice and Love Being Here With You Were recorded at the Brentwood Art, Wine and Jazz festival in October '08. The Band included myself on Keys (RD 700 GX), Nita (Vocal - Tennessee Waltz, Love Being Here), Bob Johnson (sax), Paul Bodakian (bass) and Achyutan (drums). Camera work was done by our friends at Reel Image and Sound Production.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow is a George Shearing interpretation. Get the (PDF) sheet music [here].

Polka dots and Moonbeams was inspired by a Bud Powell arrangement I heard many years ago. Many of the voicing's is utilizing the "drop two" method. In other words, "drop" the 2nd note from the top of your right hand voicing to the bottom (or bass) note of your left hand.

Green Dolphin Street - Having some fun playing my Roland RD 700 SX keyboard. "Scat voices" in my right hand while kicking bass and cymbal with my left hand. The song modulates from the key of C (the "Real book" key) to Eb (the key Miles played it in).
