Our Take

Oscar Peterson's "A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra" is a masterclass in musical homage, paying tribute to the iconic crooner with a swinging, sophisticated flair that only Peterson could deliver. From the moment the needle hits the groove, listeners are transported to a glittering world of martini-drenched elegance and timeless charm.

Peterson's nimble fingers dance across the keys with virtuosic precision, infusing Sinatra's beloved classics with a fresh, exhilarating energy. Each note is a love letter to the Chairman of the Board, capturing the essence of his velvety voice and magnetic charisma in dazzling instrumental form.

Standout tracks like "I've Got You Under My Skin" and "Fly Me to the Moon" showcase Peterson's unparalleled talent for imbuing jazz standards with new life and passion. The chemistry between Peterson and his bandmates is palpable, creating a seamless synergy that elevates each track to dizzying heights.

Whether you're a die-hard Sinatra fan or a jazz aficionado looking for your next sonic fix, "A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra" is a must-listen. Peterson's artistry shines brightly on this album, solidifying his status as a jazz legend and reaffirming Sinatra's enduring legacy in the pantheon of music history.

So grab a cocktail, settle into your favorite armchair, and let the smooth sounds of Oscar Peterson transport you to a bygone era of glamour and romance. This album is a testament to the power of music to transcend time and space, and a fitting tribute to two titans of the industry. Cheers to you, Mr. Peterson – and to you, Mr. Sinatra.

Oscar Peterson Trio

Oscar Peterson, the Canadian jazz pianist extraordinaire, could make the keys of a piano sing like no other. With a career spanning over six decades, Peterson has left an indelible mark on the world of jazz, influencing generations of musicians with his virtuosic playing and innovative approach to the genre. Born in Montreal in 1925, Peterson began playing the piano at a young age and quickly developed a reputation as a prodigy. His lightning-fast fingers and impeccable sense of timing set him apart from his peers, earning him the nickname "The Maharaja of the Keyboard." Throughout his illustrious career, Peterson recorded over 200 albums and won numerous awards, including seven Grammy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy. His collaborations with jazz legends such as Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, and Dizzy Gillespie cemented his status as one of the greatest pianists of all time. But it wasn't just Peterson's technical skill that set him apart - it was his infectious personality and undeniable charisma. Known for his playful sense of humour and love of performing, Peterson could captivate an audience with just a smile and a wink. Whether he was playing a complex bebop tune or a soulful ballad, Peterson approached each performance with a sense of joy and spontaneity that endeared him to fans around the world. His music transcends boundaries of genre and time, proving that the power of jazz knows no limits. As we celebrate his legacy, let us remember Oscar Peterson not just as a master musician, but as a true pioneer of jazz whose influence will be felt for generations to come.
