1	An Oscar Peterson Christmas (1995) more music like this by Oscar Peterson 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 ... see all copies from £8.61! new only from £8.61!
2	Stan Getz and the Oscar Peterson Trio (1957) more music like this by Stan Getz & The Oscar Peterson Trio This very enjoyable CD for the first time gathers together all of the music recorded at this timeless session. Tenor-saxophonist Stan Getz is joined by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown for a well-rounded set filled with appealing standards, three Getz originals (two of which are blues) and a fine ballad medley. ... see all copies from £7.34! new only from £7.34!
3	Night Train (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio Verve's Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like "The Honeydripper," "C-Jam Blues," "Georgia on My Mind," "Bags' Groove," "Moten Swing," and "Things Ain't What They Used to Be." Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen provide tight accompaniment, and there are six previously ... see all copies from £8.20! new only from £11.37!
4	Girl from Ipanema: The Antonio Carlos Jobim Songbook (1962) more music like this by Antonio Carlos Jobim The first of several tribute albums issued just after Antonio Carlos Jobim's death, this one generally sticks to his most famous songs as interpreted by several Brazilian and American artists from PolyGram's archives. Jobim himself appears on such obvious choices as the best-selling Stan Getz, João Gilberto, and Astrud Gilberto hit "The Girl from ... see all copies from £7.34! new only from £7.34!
5	A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra (1959) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Pianist Oscar Peterson's Frank Sinatra tribute features his trio (with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) playing easy listening jazz versions of a dozen songs associated with the singer. The renditions are all under four minutes and are highlighted by "Come Dance with Me," "Just in Time," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and "How About You?" ... see all copies from £6.81! new only from £8.40!
6	Night and Day: The Cole Porter Songbook (1952) more music like this by Various Artists With their vast back catalog of classic vocal sides, the Verve label has been releasing a seemingly endless line of songbook collections featuring a who's who of jazz greats. Irving Berlin, Gershwin, Ellington, and Rodgers & Hart have all been feted. Now it's Cole Porter's turn. Over the course of the 17 chestnuts heard here, the likes of Fred ... see all copies from £3.08! new only from £7.82!
7	The Gershwin Songbooks (1952) more music like this by Oscar Peterson In what was a giant undertaking (even for producer Norman Granz), pianist Oscar Peterson recorded ten Songbook albums during 1952-1954 and when his trio changed, nine more in 1959. Both of his George Gershwin projects (one from 1952 and the other from 1959) have been reissued in full on this single CD. The earlier date matches the brilliant ... see all copies from £10.33! new only from £12.85!
8	With the Oscar Peterson Trio (1952) more music like this by Lester Young and the Oscar Peterson Trio Defying what has become conventional wisdom, tenor saxophonist Lester Young (when he was reasonably healthy) actually cut some of his greatest recordings in the 1950s. On this wonderful effort with pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer J.C. Heard, Prez performs definitive versions of "Just You, Just Me" ... see all copies from £11.64! new only from £11.64!
9	Have Yourself a Jazzy Little Christmas [Verve] (1989) more music like this by Various Artists This 15-track CD has something for everyone: the smooth vocal styling of Billy Eckstine on "Christmas Eve," and the purring Dinah Washington on the seductive "Ole Santa," and Ella Fitzgerald showing her soft and sentimental side on the single, "The Secret of Christmas." Billie Holiday, with help from Benny Carter and Sweets Edison, warms up the ... see all copies from £5.77! new only from £6.36!
10	Ben Webster Meets Oscar Peterson (1959) more music like this by Ben Webster With Oscar Peterson Another fine Webster release on Verve that sees the tenor great once again backed by the deluxe Oscar Peterson Trio. In keeping with the high standard of their Soulville collaboration of two years prior, Webster and the trio -- Peterson is joined by bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen -- use this 1959 date to conduct a clinic in ballad ... see all copies from £7.67! new only from £7.67!
11 view cover	At the Stratford Shakespearean Festival (1956) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio This CD contains what is considered by most listeners to be the finest recording of the Oscar Peterson-Herb Ellis-Ray Brown trio, a group that lasted from 1953-1958. Although the soloing was always quite passionate and spontaneous, the very complex arrangements are really what made this unit sound unique. The live CD adds two selections ("Nuages" ... see all copies from £5.19! new only from £7.34!
12 view cover	The Trio [1973] (1973) more music like this by Oscar Peterson With Joe Pass and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen Guitarist Joe Pass and bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen both play well on these live performances, but the reason to acquire this set is for the remarkable Oscar Peterson. The pianist brilliantly investigates several jazz styles on "Blues Etude" (including stride and boogie-woogie), plays exciting versions of his "Chicago Blues" and "Easy ... see all copies from £5.71! new only from £6.91!
13 view cover	Oscar Peterson Trio Plus One (1964) more music like this by Oscar Peterson/Clark Terry Some guest soloists get overshadowed by Oscar Peterson's technical prowess, while others meet him halfway with fireworks of their own; trumpeter Clark Terry lands in the latter camp on this fine 1964 session. With drummer Ed Thigpen and bassist Ray Brown providing solid support, the two soloists come off as intimate friends over the course of the ... see all copies from £3.15! new only from £6.84!
14 view cover	We Get Requests (1964) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from £4.71! new only from £11.54!
15 view cover	West Side Story (1962) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Trio West Side Story was a bit of an unusual session for several reasons. First, the popularity of both the Broadway musical and the film version that followed meant that there were many records being made of its music. Second, rather than woodshed on the selections prior to entering the studio, the Oscar Peterson Trio spontaneously created impressions ... see all copies from £5.08! new only from £8.20!
16 view cover	The Sound of the Trio (1961) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Those who consider themselves Oscar Peterson completists should be aware of The London House Sessions, a generous five-CD set that focuses exclusively on the Peterson Trio's 1961 engagement at Chicago's London House. However, completists are the only ones who would want to invest in this collection; others would be better off with individual CDs ... see all copies from £7.71! new only from £10.73!
17 view cover	Another Day (1970) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Good '70 session from pianist Oscar Peterson, arguably the most recorded mainstream stylist ever. He's made so many albums over the years, with a great deal sounding similar, that while they're never bad, sometimes they're for keyboard freaks only. That's something of the case here, although Peterson spins some fabulous solos. Ron Wynn, All ... see all copies from £7.09! new only from £7.09!
18 view cover	Exclusively for My Friends [Box Set] (1963) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson has stated that he feels his MPS recordings are his finest. That is quite a statement considering the huge amount of records that the pianist has produced through the past 50 years. This four-CD set reissues the music from six of his MPS LPs: Action, Girl Talk, The Way I Really Play, My Favorite Instrument, Mellow Mood, and Travelin ... see all copies from £3.03! new only from £31.35!
19 view cover	Introducing Verve Jazz Masters, Vol. 20 (1994) more music like this by Various Artists At least this pocket-sized, budget-priced trip through 22 years of jazz doesn't pretend to be a definitive primer on jazz. It is simply and purely a sampler from the first 19 issues of Verve's Jazz Masters series; in other words, a sampler of a sampler. There is some clever segueing; the opening track, Louis Armstrong's "Just One of Those Things" ... see all copies from £1.83! new only from £10.87!
20 view cover	Oscar Peterson for Lovers (2004) more music like this by Oscar Peterson see all copies from £6.37! new only from £8.40!
21 view cover	Jazz 'Round Midnight (1992) more music like this by Oscar Peterson '92 CD featuring the exemplary trio of pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, and bassist Ray Brown. They've worked together for so long that their empathy and communication has been second nature. Peterson's solos and direction aren't just anticipated; sometimes Ellis and Brown seem to shift with him. Their interaction, dialogues, and ... see all copies from £5.47! new only from £8.40!
22 view cover	Verve Jazz Masters 16 (1994) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Vol. 16 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features pianist Oscar Peterson, who recorded prolifically for them from his start in the early '50s up to the early '70s. A single CD could never do Peterson justice, but this one, featuring 15 solid tracks, is evenly balanced between trio and guitar-accented small ensembles, with three big-band tracks ... see all copies from £7.48! new only from £10.78!
23 view cover	Walking the Line (1970) more music like this by Oscar Peterson Oscar Peterson's series of recordings for Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer during the 1960s and early '70s are one of many high points in his long career. With George "Jiri" Mraz on bass and Ray Price on drums, Peterson's flashy romp through "I Love You" (complete with a humorous detour into the opera "Pagliacci") and mid-tempo walk through "All of You" ... see all copies from £4.92! new only from £4.92!
24 view cover	Encore at the Blue Note (1990) more music like this by Oscar Peterson The fourth CD taken from a reunion engagement at the Blue Note by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Bobby Durham, this set is up to the same level as the other three. The Oscar Peterson Trio of the late '50s (along with Peterson's drummer of a decade later) jam through five standards (including a heated ... see all copies from £6.15! new only from £8.40!
25 view cover	Night Rider (1978) more music like this by Count Basie with Oscar Peterson When they first met up for a full album in 1974, the two-piano team of Count Basie and Oscar Peterson must have seemed like an unlikely matchup. After all, Peterson is known for filling up his rapid solos with virtuosic passages while Basie is the master of the "less-is-more" approach, making every note count. But because Peterson has such high ... see all copies from £5.47! new only from £6.91!
