Three Bonus Tracks Included on 180g Import Jazz LP!
Beauty and the Beat! Peggy Lee and George Shearing performed together for the first time in the spectacular concert recorded during the Disc Jockey Convention in Miami, Florida, May 29, 1959. Though Peggy Lee and George Shearing did in fact perform there (and attempts were made to record them for later release), the songs heard on the subsequent LP were recorded in the studio and overdubbed with rather obvious canned applause, announcements, and even post-production echo.
The Quintet played with spirit and taste in support of the famous Shearing piano lead - both in instrumental numbers and in the inventive vocal backings. And Peggy Lee sang as though she didn't have a care in the world other than her interpretations, which included quite a variety of ballad and uptempo stylings. For example, her treatment of "I Lost My Sugar In Salt Lake City" was sultry and insinuating. Ellington's beautiful "All Too Soon" emerged lush and dreamy, and she breezed delightfully through an "up" version of "If Dreams Come True". The instrumentals by George Shearing and the Quintet included an original penned for the occasion by conga drummer Armando Peraza, and entitled "Mambo in Miami". "Satin Doll" and "Isn't it Romantic?" showed off the free-swinging precision of the group.
