Charming and Versatile.......2000-06-11

Shearing was not a virtuoso of the Art Tatum class, but his music is elegant, sophisticated and instantly recognizable. I doubt if many listeners nowadays would dance to the tunes found on LATIN LACE or LATIN AFFAIR, but one could easily do so since percussion and rhythm figure so prominently. The arrangements are clever, the tempi varied, and the performances virtually flawless, so the music can be listened to for itself. On the other hand, it can also serve as great background music for cocktail parties and/or dinners.

LATIN LACE is composed mostly of what I take to be authentic Spanish/Latin American tunes. LATIN AFFAIR, however, casts Norteamericano standards in a Latin mold. If you're looking for something a little more relaxed, I recommend the BLACK SATIN/WHITE SATIN CD, another Shearing twofer.

Average customer rating: C'est magnifique - top of the heap! One of my favorites for 40 years! Smooth, sensual, Latin Jazz for the sophisticated ear!

I definitely agree with the other 2 reviews, especially the second one from CA - he hit the bullseye with his review!

Smooth, sensual, Latin Jazz for the sophisticated ear!.......1998-12-06

A feast for the latent latin soul, an invitation to the feet, and supreme musicianship come together to make this album, now over 40 years old, one of the transcendent joys for the audiophile-music lover: ever!
