Shirley and Stanley produced some 'state of the art' tenor and organ records. Shirley subsequently moved back to Philly to teach at Cheyney University where she is a respected member of the faculty and runs an important course on the History of Jazz. You Bet Your Life , hosted by Bill Cosby, wrote all the music and collaborated with Mr. Cosby on the theme song. Away from Education and Television, Shirley has been working primarily with her trio, featuring herself on piano with long time associates Arthur Harper on bass and flawless Mickey Roker on drums. This new album is entitled A Walkin' Thing and will be released to co-incide with her European Tour in 1996.
Few pianist can elicit such steady sparks from deep within a piano's soundboard.
