I really enjoy his collaboration with Nancy Wilson, the title of which doesn't readily come to mind. He also collaborated with Wes Montgomery and Wes's musician brothers. I find his other recordings sort of boring except for the hot covers.

I own several Shearing recordings -- some on Concord, plus some previous labels. My personal favorite continues to be a recording from around 1960, "George Shearing in San Francisco", which I think was issued on the Capitol label.
