Yesterday Linda and I went to see the movie "Green Book" which is based on the relationship between Don Shirley and his "driver" Tony "Lip" Vallelonga during a Don Shirley Trio concert trip in the 60's. The movie was very good and introduced me to this accomplished musician.

So today I am hitting Tidal to give a listen to some of his works. Fortunately this album isn't pure Jazz which I dislike as much as Hip Hop. It's like jazz, but highly arranged like pieces of classical music. The first one is "Don Shirley Trio - In Concert" The album has pianist Shirley accompanied by cello and string bass. The trio plays standards such as "I Can't Get Started", "Yesterday", and "Georgia on My Mind".

Don't know whether you can correct Don's last name also, need to add an h to his name. HP had Shirley's "Water Boy" on his Super Disc list and when I was searching for it I found a few more of his albums and bought them (vinyl, of course). Wonderful stuff.
