Our Take

Ah, the musical collaboration between the legendary Buddy DeFranco and the exceptional Oscar Peterson Quartet is like a fine wine - it just keeps getting better with age.

This album, appropriately titled "Buddy DeFranco And The Oscar Peterson Quartet," is a delightful blend of DeFranco's smooth clarinet playing and Peterson's virtuosic piano skills. The two musical titans come together effortlessly, creating a synergy that is a joy to listen to.

From the moment you press play, you are immediately transported to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City. The opening track, "Swingin' the Blues," sets the tone for the entire album - energetic, soulful, and full of life.

DeFranco's clarinet dances playfully over Peterson's dynamic piano accompaniment, creating a musical dialogue that is both captivating and exhilarating. The quartet members - guitarist Herb Ellis, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Alvin Stoller - provide a solid foundation for DeFranco and Peterson to showcase their musical prowess.

Standout tracks include the swinging "Playin' the Field" and the hauntingly beautiful "Blue Lou," where DeFranco's emotive playing is truly at its best.

Overall, "Buddy DeFranco And The Oscar Peterson Quartet" is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It is a masterclass in musical chemistry and a testament to the enduring talent of DeFranco and Peterson. So grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let the music take you on a journey you won't soon forget.
