Oscar Peterson: An Oscar Peterson Christmas

Artist: Oscar Peterson Title Of Album: An Oscar Peterson Christmas Year Of Release: 1995 Label: Telarc Genre: Jazz Type: CD Quality: MP3 Bitrate: 320 kbps Total Time: 52:46 Total Size: 116 MB Oscar Peterson takes it easy during his relaxed set. He had not completely recovered from his stroke but he was still an impressive pianist. Peterson, who is assisted by guitarist Lorne Lofsky, bassist David Young, and drummer Jerry Fuller, is joined by a 20-piece string section arranged and conducted by Rick Wilkins. The 14 holiday tunes (which include "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman," "White Christmas," "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas") are given tasteful and lightly swinging treatments and there are guest appearances by vibraphonist Dave Samuels and flugelhornist Jack Schantz. But no real surprises or chancestaking occurs and the music is mostly just pleasant. by Scott Yanow TRACKLIST 01....

The Very Tall Band - Live At The Blue Note

Album: The Very Tall Band - Live At The Blue Note Album Artist: Oscar Peterson Genre: Jazz Sound Quality: High Format: mp3_320Kbps Record Label: TELARC Year Released: 1998 Label:Jazz This CD was recorded using Sony Direct Stream Digital & Super Bit Mapping technology. Recorded live at the Blue Note, New York, New York from November 24-26, 1998. Includes liner notes by Alyn Shipton. Oscar Peterson's landmark meeting with Milt Jackson in the mid-'60s produced the very successful studio date Very Tall. They've played and recorded together on a number of occasions since then, joined by Ray Brown more often than not, but these live tracks recorded at the Blue Note are among their most satisfying sessions. Peterson continues his strong comeback from the serious stroke that he suffered in 1993, replacing his once ferocious tempos with an uncanny lyricism. Brown's introduction to "Blues for JR" and his bass solo medley are superb, while Jackson remains a...
