George Shearing was a British-born jazz pianist who made a significant impact on the genre with his unique playing style and elegant compositions. Born in 1919, Shearing began his musical journey at an early age, learning to play piano at the tender age of three. He went on to study at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he honed his skills as a pianist.
Shearing's distinctive playing style, which featured a unique "locked hands" technique that allowed him to play complex chord progressions with ease, set him apart from other jazz pianists. His music was characterized by its lyricism, elegance, and sophistication, earning him a reputation as one of the greatest pianists in the history of jazz. Throughout his long and illustrious career, Shearing collaborated with some of the biggest names in jazz, including Mel Torme, Peggy Lee, and Dizzy Gillespie.
Shearing's legacy extends far beyond his own music. He was a mentor to many young musicians, including pianist Bill Mays, who has spoken highly of Shearing's influence on his playing style. Shearing's unique approach to jazz piano also inspired a new generation of pianists, such as Brad Mehldau and Keith Jarrett. Today, George Shearing remains one of the most revered figures in jazz, a true master of his craft whose music continues to inspire and delight audiences around the world.
