Ray Charles was special in his own way; however George Shearing had such a special sound when he played that you could almost close your eyes and automatically you knew who was playing. It is quite something when the sound of your instrument is so remarkably different from others, that you are immediately recognized; Glenn Miller found the sound when he placed the clarinet in the lead; this made him immortal.
