This Canadian giant, an imperturbable virtuoso who seemed to play his instrument with such ease, made more recordings than any other jazz pianist in half a century. Peterson’s name has become generally associated with piano jazz. It is true that Oscar has his place in all record libraries, either by himself or accompanying a host of stars, from Louis Armstrong to Charlie Parker, from Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday to Fred Astaire. Count Basie in person invited him to share his stool, whereas another great band leader, Jimmie Lunceford called for him when he was just twenty. The little-known recordings, selected here, are indeed the first he made in the United States following his discovery by impresario, Norman Granz. Successively backed by two sturdy bassists including the mighty Ray Brown who stayed with him for over fifteen years, Peterson, blooming as a soloist after his Canadian years of training, used irresistible freshness to present the quintessence of his perfected style, which had been built from a blend of sustaining influences, namely Art Tatum, Nat King Cole and Erroll Garner, to whom he pays splendid tribute here. His particular language, which enthralled the crowds, is expressed through his long, nimble fingers, unerring rhythmic precision, swing, vitality and effervescence and also the charm and elegance which flow through the tunes he interprets using his velvety touch.
Rezensionen
G. Filtgen in Jazz thing Nr. 42/02: "Einmal mehr de- monstriert der kanadische Pianist auf "Get Happy" in konzertanten Duo-Aufnahmen mit dem Bassisten Major Holley oder Ray Brown seinen fantasievollen, nie ver- siegenden Einfallsreichtum."- Tracklisting
