Few pianists of any genre could do what Shirley does with his left hand...he's still alive and teaching as far as I know, I believe in Indiana.

Casual listening seems to reveal him as "easy-listening Jazz" until you listen to that left hand technique! There are bass lines that he plays that are more complex than much of anything else you have ever heard! I have a lot of his stuff...get it all and if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you!!!

The early stuff on Cadence is on some very fragile vinyl...I was sliding an LP into an inner sleeve and holding it on one side and the LP cracked!!! Wahhh! Needless to say, I'd like to replace it (I can't recall the title right now, I have to check the stacks against my spread sheet).

Also available on Audio Fidelity and Columbia...what I own:
1432. Shirley, Don “Concert Series, Vol. 1” Pick-a-Dilly PIC3428
1433. Shirley, Don “…Presents Martha Flowers” CLP3055
1434. Shirley, Don “…” Audio Fidelity AFSD5897
1435. Shirley, Don “The Gospel According to…” Columbia CS9723
1436. Shirley, Don “Drown in My Own Tears” Cadence CLP25057/CLP3057
1437. Shirley, Don “Tonal Expressions” Cadence CLP1001
1438. Shirley, Don “…plays Love Songs” Cadence CLP3034
1439. Shirley, Don “…plays Standards” Cadence CLP3033
1440. Shirley, Don “Water Boy” Columbia CS9196
1441. Shirley, Don “…Plays Show Tunes” Cadence CLP3036
1442. Shirley, Don “…Trio” Cadence CLP25046
1443. Shirley, Don “…trio in Concert” Columbia CS9684
1444. Shirley, Don “…Solos” Cadence CLP3007
1445. Shirley, Don “Piano Perspectives” Cadence CLP1004

Water Boy is listed on TAS's LP list of great sounding LP's, but is actually a reissue of Audio Fidelity AFSD5897 which sounds very good, too!
