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. Personnel: George Shearing – piano Dakota Staton – vocals Toots Thielemans – guitar Emil Richards – vibraphone Al McKibbon – double bass Armando Peraza – bongos, conga Percy Brice – drums, percussion Reception The AllMusic review by John Bush awarded the album four and half stars and stated:”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). In July 1957, just after Dakota Staton’s immense success with “The Late, Late Show,” Capitol recorded two of its biggest jazz stars together for what would turn out to be one of the finest teamings in either’s career.”
