OSCAR PETERSON - TRIO + ONE CLARK TERRY (180g IMPORT LP)

When the contract with Verve was terminated at the beginning of 1964, Mercury’s producers and owners endeavored to find new openings for Oscar Peterson who was committed to the piano trio. Among them was an LP of songs with Nat King Cole numbers scored for big band, the only long composition by Peterson - a reminiscence of his Canadian native country, a Latin album, and the present meet-up with Clark Terry. Filled with mutual respect, with a complete understanding of one another’s humour, and deliciously swinging without being obtrusive, these ten numbers will get your feet tapping and your fingers snapping.
