About this album
The Way We Are shows George Shearing applying his elegant, rhythmically alert touch to contemporary pop and soul repertoire. Issued in 1974, the album blends jazz-funk, Afro-Cuban jazz and R&B inflections, with Shearing’s piano leading arrangements that reframe familiar songs from the period in a sleek small-group setting. His famously balanced style gives the material poise without losing groove, making the record a strong example of how he absorbed modern repertoire while keeping a distinctive voice. For listeners interested in crossover jazz from the 1970s, it captures Shearing’s adaptability and enduring melodic refinement.
