„The most underrated recordings of George Shearing’s career were his trio sets made in the mid-’70s for MPS after the breakup of his popular Quintet. This particular LP is one of three that feature the brilliant pianist in a drumless trio with guitarist Louis Stewart and bassist Niels Pedersen.
The music is essentially bop-based with just one newer song (an interesting version of Chick Corea’s “500 Miles High”) included among the nine standards. The more memorable selections are “I Wished on the Moon,” “Old Folks” and “Here’s That Rainy Day.” Tasteful performances with plenty of subtle surprises.“ (Scott Yanow, AMG)
