Our Take

Oscar Peterson's "Affinity" is a wild romp through the jazz universe that will leave you dizzy with delight. Known for his virtuosic piano skills, Peterson truly shines on this album, effortlessly gliding through complex melodies and intricate rhythms with the finesse of a seasoned pro.

From the opening track "Wheatland" to the closing notes of "Morning Tide," Peterson takes the listener on a sonic journey that is at once familiar and fresh. His signature style is on full display here, blending classic jazz with modern flair to create a sound that is uniquely his own.

But Peterson is not alone on this musical odyssey. Joining him are some of the jazz world's finest musicians, including bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and drummer Martin Drew. Together, they create a tight-knit musical ensemble that is as cohesive as it is dynamic.

With its catchy hooks, infectious grooves, and killer solos, "Affinity" is sure to be a hit with jazz fans of all stripes. So sit back, relax, and let Oscar Peterson take you on a musical journey unlike any other. Trust us, you won't regret it.

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.
