Our Take

In a world filled with auto-tuned pop stars and manufactured hits, it's refreshing to hear the timeless talent of jazz legend Oscar Peterson. His latest album "Get Happy" is like a musical journey through a smoky, dimly lit jazz club where the booze flows freely and the music never stops.

Peterson's masterful piano skills are on full display in this album, with each note hitting like a ray of sunshine on a rainy day. From the upbeat swing of "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" to the smooth groove of "I've Got the World on a String", Peterson's playing is nothing short of spectacular.

But it's not just about the music on "Get Happy" - Peterson's infectious energy and charisma shine through, making you feel like you're right there in the studio with him. It's like he's saying, "Come on, let's have a good time together!" And who are we to argue with a jazz legend?

So grab yourself a cocktail, sit back, and let Oscar Peterson take you on a joyous musical adventure. "Get Happy" is a delightful reminder that no matter how crazy the world may seem, music will always be there to lift our spirits and make us smile. Cheers to that!

About the artist

Oscar Peterson

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.
