Released in conjunction with Oscar Peterson's autobiography, A Jazz Odyssey, this collection offers as much insight into the great pianist's remarkable art as his memoir offers into his fascinating life.
Spanning the years 1950-70, the music on this CD showcases both Peterson the dazzling keyboard virtuoso and leader of one of the most versatile, popular, and durable piano trios jazz has ever known, and Peterson the supreme accompanist, heard in support of such giants as Billie Holiday, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, and Ella Fitzgerald. |
