Our Take

Oscar Peterson's "Get Happy" is like a burst of sunshine on a gloomy day, injecting joy and energy into every note. The legendary pianist's virtuoso performance is nothing short of magical, whisking listeners away on a dazzling musical journey.

From the moment the first track kicks in, you know you're in for a treat. Peterson's masterful touch on the keys is like watching a wizard at work, effortlessly weaving intricate melodies and powerful scales together with finesse. Each song is a testament to his skill and passion for the music, showcasing his ability to both dazzle with lightning-fast runs and caress the keys with gentle strokes.

The chemistry between Peterson and the other musicians is undeniable, with each member of the band bringing their own unique flavour to the mix. The rhythm section is tight and groovy, providing the perfect backdrop for Peterson's dazzling improvisations. It's clear that these musicians are in perfect sync, feeding off each other's energy and pushing each other to new heights.

"Get Happy" is a timeless classic that will have you tapping your feet and humming along from start to finish. Peterson's talent is truly second to none, and this album is a shining example of his genius. So grab yourself a drink, sit back, and let yourself be transported to a world of pure joy and musical delight. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
