AVID Jazz here presents three classic Oscar Peterson albums plus including original LP liner notes on a finely re-mastered and low priced double CD.
Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson: Very Tall; Oscar Peterson Plays Count Basie; On The Town plus side one of Oscar Peterson Trio at Stratford (Canada) Shakespearean Festival.
For our first selection Very Tall we feature the meeting of two giants of jazz with two very different approaches to playing. Our featured artist Oscar Peterson, literally and musically a giant of the piano with his formidably cohesive style is joined by Milt Jackson vibes player with the Modern Jazz Quartet with his unshakeably relaxed approach. How would these two giants perform together? Peterson, normally a formidable leader within his own bands, remarkably takes a much lighter approach to his playing thus allowing Jackson to take control with his more laid back vibe! Accompanied by Petersons trio Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums the Quartet conclude with Reunion Blues a free flowing summation of previous proceedings . Recorded live on July 5th 1958 at the Town Tavern Club Toronto On The Town finds the classic Oscar Peterson Trio, Oscar. Ray Brown and Herb Ellis, in stunning form. Ably summed up by legendary composer, arranger and musician Gunther Schuller in the original liner notes .Oscar himself is a tremendously swinging pianist .he can swing on two levels very soft and delicate and he can be very strong armed in his swing .as a Trio .there is nothing comparable to this particular combination Oscar, Ray and Herb. The Trio becomes a Quartet for Oscar Peterson Plays Count Basie when they are joined by legendary drummer Buddy Rich. Oscars tribute to Count Basie includes Basie classics like One OClock Jump plus songs from Basie alumni including Lester Young and Earl Ronald Warren as well as Oscars own tribute Blues For Basie. Once again we join the classic Peterson Trio as they play live at the Stratford (Canada) Shakespeare Festival in 1956. The original liner notes were written by Oscar himself and sum up his feelings towards this album .referring to the process of a live recording I honestly believe that this recording of the Trio at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival is our best to date ..As for myself I have never felt more relaxed and at ease at a recording session I feel that it shows in my playing. I think we would all agree with that!
