There are several good comps of his early stuff but he had a career resurgence in the '90's. I very much like his '91' CD Cool Cat Blues *--he hooked up with Ben Sidran's German label Go Jazz for some good work, properly showcased.
* Available from the Usual Suspect for about $10 USD. [quoted for the comments and marvelous list of co-conspirators]: http://www.amazon.com/Cool-Cat-Blues-Geo...Descending
And some tunes from it (or near-about): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpib39nWwy8 << On the CD, it's a duet with Boz Skaggs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg3-tQ_Ah-8 << "Moondance" with Van Morrison and Jon Hendricks--it doesn't get much better than this.
BTW, the best record company comp DVD you'll get this year is the Go Jazz Allstars, taped on the German TV show Ohne Filter
BONUS: Here's a 1/2 hour of one terrific 4tet--Georgie, Ben + Van Morrison and Mose Allison, presented by Jools Holland: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOH8WEqWSHI << You'll thank me for this one.
