Old Gold and Ivory is a 1963 album by George Shearing accompanied by his quintet and a string orchestra, conducted by Milt Raskin.
The initial Billboard review from April 25, 1964 said that "The results are smooth, uncomplicated, and creatively exciting musical fare" and that the "underlying these throughout is one of torrid seriousness".[3]
Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Shearing did the arrangements himself for strings, French horns, and woodwinds (the personnel is unidentified), but, overall, the performances never rise above the level of sleepy background music. The music is well played and pleasant overall but not particularly memorable, and certainly not very stimulating. "
