Our Take

Oscar Peterson's "A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra" is a delightful romp through the crooner's iconic tunes, reimagined through the lens of Peterson's virtuosic piano skills. This album is a whimsical journey that transports you to smoky jazz clubs of yesteryears, where Sinatra's silky smooth vocals intertwine with Peterson's playful improvisations.

From the swinging rhythms of "I've Got You Under My Skin" to the soulful depths of "One For My Baby (And One More For The Road)," Peterson's arrangements breathe new life into these timeless classics. His intricate piano solos dance across the keys with effortless grace, showcasing his impeccable technique and deep understanding of the jazz tradition.

Each track on this album is a testament to the enduring appeal of both Sinatra's timeless songs and Peterson's unparalleled talent. The chemistry between the two is palpable, with Peterson's dynamic playing complementing Sinatra's magnetic vocals at every turn.

With its toe-tapping grooves and infectious energy, "A Jazz Portrait of Frank Sinatra" is a must-listen for fans of both artists. Peterson's bold interpretations and fresh take on these familiar tunes make for a refreshing and entertaining listening experience. So grab a cocktail, sit back, and let yourself be transported to a bygone era of glitz, glamour, and swinging jazz.
