1963 live album by George Shearing

Reception
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "The most memorable tracks include "Walkin'," "Love Walked In", and a nearly 12-minute rendition of "Love Is Just Around the Corner." Although the group always had a dominant easy-listening sound, a lot of hard-swinging often took place beneath the surface, particularly during their live sets."[ 2]
Harvey Pekar of DownBeat noted, "Shearing's inventiveness, excellent sense of pace, and rhythmic suppleness place this selection in a class with his better work of 12 to 15 years ago."[ 3]
Track listing "Walkin'" (Richard Carpenter) - 7:50
"Love Is Just Around the Corner " (Lewis Gensler, Leo Robin ) - 11:50
