Sir George Shearing.

I was saddened to read that George Shearing had died yesterday at the age of 91. The Shearing sound, whilst considered bland by some, was unmistakable and gained him international popularity. Probably  best rembered for his own composition, Lullaby of Birdland.

'Back to Birdland' indeed.
