Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox album In the Night is a 1958 album by the jazz pianist George Shearing and the singer Dakota Staton. A quintet accompanies the pair. Staton sings on six tracks; the rest are instrumentals.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings The initial Billboard review from May 19, 1958, commented that "Success of Miss Staton's previous LP...plus the powerful allure of the "Shearing" sound makes this a likely click in both pop and jazz marts...Attractive cover shot of the artists".

John Bush reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "With its progressive-leaning jazz and modernist blues vocals, In the Night was the prototype for the piano-vocals collaboration record that George Shearing would remake with Peggy Lee, Nat King Cole, and Nancy Wilson while at Capitol (and many others afterwards)." Bush highlighted the quintet's work on "From Rags to Richards" and "Pawn Ticket"; and described Staton as bringing her "post-bop vocal prowess and late-night melodrama" to the songs. Bush felt the album was "one of the finest teamings in either's career".
