5.0 out of 5 stars If you buy only one jazz piano CD- this is it, February 6, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Exclusively for My Friends: Lost Tapes (Audio CD)
a jazz player once told me flat out that Oscar was the best. I dutifully shook my head yes and listened to a lot of his early stuff. Great talent but somewhat uninspiring arrangements. Then I stumbled onto this CD. If you know anything about playing the piano, you will listen to this performance with your mouth wide open, barely able to believe what you are hearing. His virtuosity and sheer "athleticism" are beyond description. This CD is simply a journey to another world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Peterson, December 8, 2001
By 
Leonard Sahn "lsahn" (Orchard Lake, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Exclusively for My Friends: Lost Tapes (Audio CD)
This is one of Peterson's finest efforts, although the disc set is hard to find. The reltively rare selections and their assembly form a complete work and allow the listener to experience the many aspects of his virtuosity. From the elegance and beauty of his unique chords that are the essence of Peterson, to the fast driving up-tempo tracks, you get to hear them without the annoying flourish and embellishment that distract in other recordings. This live performance captures Peterson at his very best, in his prime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, so this is why the heavens created the piano..., November 15, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Exclusively for My Friends: Lost Tapes (Audio CD)
This is incredible. This is no longer jazz, but an entire genre of music in its own right, which swings so hard they had to lose the tapes, it seems.The version of Squeaky's Blues just takes your ears and your heart and rips them to shreds, and then it really gets going. Damn, this is good.
