What is George doing these days?

Is "OBE" correct? BBC reports he's been knighted, which is a higher level of honur, isn't it?

Shearing at Birdland

edit

The allusion by Jack Kerouac to having seen "Old God Shearing" in a 1949 appearance at New York's Birdland nightclub can be found on page 128 of the 1991 Penguin Books edition of On the Road. JCNSmith 02:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Help needed with footnoting

edit

Help, please! My addition about "Shearing Voicing" has been marked "citation needed". It is mentioned in the Wikipedia article on Red Garland, the "All About Jazz" article about Red Garland, and there is an image on Wikimedia illustrating the principle. Can someone help me properly footnote it so I can get rid of the "citation needed"? - Mark Dixon 03:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Lullaby of Birdland

edit

Don't forget to cite his 1952 composition "Lullaby of Birdland" which has become a jazz standard. MBG 119.11.11.33 (talk) 08:48, 2 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
