Description by OLDIES.com:
These two albums from the mid-'50s find Shirley performing at his tuneful, composing and innovative peaks. "Tonal Expressions" features Shirley displaying great tenderness and emotional depth which render his performances inspiring. On "Piano Perspectives" he takes a bunch of standards, some established old favorites, and puts his distinctive stamp on them, making them sound brand new.
