Let's Go To Town

The much honored and awarded Anglo American George Shearing was one of worlds great Jazz pianists. On this CD he is featured with The Hi-Lo's who were an a cappella quartet formed in 1953. The group's name is reportedly a reference to their extreme vocal and physical ranges (Bob Strasen and Bob Morse were tall, Gene Puerling and Clark Burroughs were short). They are considered a musical influence on groups like the King's Singers, the Manhattan Transfer, Chanticleer, the Free Design and Brian Wilson. They were also supported by Frank Sinatra. Clare Fischer was their pianist for years and did some of their arrangements. This CD features rare live recordings specially made for National Guard radio recruiting programs.
