Oscar Peterson's Trio Performance:One of the Best. (2003-07-02)

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.

BUY IT EYES CLOSED (2003-05-31)

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?

Oscar Peterson is S'wonderful (2003-01-27)

How can one go wrong setting Cole Porter music down... How can the Great Oscar Peterson go wrong either? He didn't. Oscar is a shining example of what makes a truely wonderful, gifted musician. His dynamics, touch and feeling are really a joy to listen to. Well done! Enjoy!

Yes, oh yes, indeed, yes, yes, yes! (2000-05-20)

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.
