Live at the Café Carlyle


Live at the Café Carlyle is a 1984 live album by jazz pianist George Shearing accompanied by the double bassist and pianist Don Thompson.

Reception

reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that " Thompson, who plays second piano on Herbie Hancock's "Tell Me a Bedtime Story," jams with strong intuition and consistent swing, easily picking up on Shearing's musical directions during such songs as "Pent up House," "The Shadow of Your Smile," "Cheryl" and a couple of originals", and concludes by writing that Shearing "...had his career rejuvenated during his years on Concord through stimulating musical encounters such as this one. Fine music".
