Editorial Reviews
From Amazon.com
Oscar Peterson has never been shy about his abilities to romp across a keyboard in decorous, generously swinging displays of flash. But Time and Again catches the Oscar that lulls you into classic sessions like Exclusively for My Friends and those where he tackles the song books of Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, and Cole Porter. The 14 tracks that make up this anthology are all delicate, all gorgeous, all touched with a grace that precious few pianists can muster. The album comes with only the most skeletal details--track titles, albums of origin, tune titles. But it's meant to be streamlined, to turn the mind to the music, which, as part of Verve's Quiet Now series, is meant to be midnight-safe and mellow. In the case of Oscar, the collection is an embarrassment of musical riches, a chilled-out heartful that will ease the aches unrelentingly. --Andrew Bartlett
Customer Reviews
Oscar's Beautiful Ballad's (2004-07-13)  As a fan of Oscar Peterson's since the original trio days,(30 years have passed since we saw and heard him in New Zealand) but I just keep finding something new to add to my collection! This CD from the Verve label showcases some beautiful ballads and sets the perfect mood for late-night listening. A standout is the late Anthony Newley's song "Who Can I Turn To",(a personal favourite)in which Oscar display's his brilliant stride playing and stunning technique. The recording, the piano, the pianist and the music are wonderful. Recommended
Superb (2001-06-02)  I liked it---Very thrilling to listen to. Oscar's fellings are well represented in his music. All jazz fans need this album. You'll want to keep buying more.I love chokey chicken!!!:-)
