Biography

One of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, Oscar Peterson (b. 1925) is also quite possibly the most prolific. Ever since 1950, Peterson has recorded an enormous amount of music, and he has consistently amazed listeners with his brilliant playing.

Born in Montreal, Canada, Peterson started having classical piano lessons when he was six and his musical abilities were obvious from nearly the… Read more in Amazon's Oscar Peterson Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Oscar Peterson's Trio Performance:One of the Best., July 2, 2003

Jack Metzger (Tucson, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plays the Cole Porter Songbook (Audio CD)

This re-release by Verve preserves, in my opinion, one of the best trio performances. 'In the Still of the Night',
Peterson's subtle single melody nuances and left hand chords are complimented by Ray Brown's wonderful bass. Ed Thigpen maintains the tempo with his stylish brush technique. The rest of the CD is hampered only slightly by the 'volme' inconsistencies from one number to the next, created by the studio. This is a great CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT EYES CLOSED, May 31, 2003

alain robert (ST-HUBERT,QU�BEC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Plays the Cole Porter Songbook (Audio CD)

OSCAR PETERSON's 1959 piano tribute to COLE PORTER is a joy even if it's only 33 minutes long.We could have take an another half hour of this music.What makes it so enjoyable is the variety of moods it delivers.There was actually another PORTER songbook recorded in mono,but for a reason i ignore,they did not coupled it with this one to make it last longer.A message to VERVE:did they lost the masters of the RICHARD RODGERS songbook,and if not,what are they waiting for?

By A Customer

This review is from: Plays the Cole Porter Songbook (Audio CD)

Every time I play this CD people ask about it. I have never seen something so universally loved. It creates and sustains a lazy summer afternoon mood like no other.
