This review is from: Montmartre Blues (Audio CD)

Oscar Pettiford is one of the great bassists in the history of Jazz. After leaving the United States for Europe in 1958, he made a number of recordings before his untimely death in a bycycle accident. His talents as a bassist and cellist are on display here with some pretty good Danish Jazz musicians. I am not familiar with any of them but they play quite well. There isn't much Oscar Pettiford around on disc these days and I recommend this fine post bop effort as a part of any serious Jazz collection.
