Our Take

Oscar Peterson, the virtuoso jazz pianist, is back with another collection of classic Verve albums that are sure to tickle your fancy. This box set is chock full of swinging tunes, impeccable solos, and enough groove to make even the stiffest of hips start swaying.

From the moment you press play, Peterson's masterful touch on the keys will transport you to a smoky jazz club in the heart of New York City. His technical prowess is on full display here, with lightning-fast runs, intricate chord voicings, and enough soul to make Ray Charles shed a tear.

The tracks on this album showcase Peterson's incredible range as a musician, from the smooth and sultry ballads to the frenetic bebop numbers that will leave you breathless. Each song is a mini-masterpiece, meticulously crafted and expertly performed.

But what sets this album apart from the rest is Peterson's ability to inject humour and joy into every note he plays. His playful spirit shines through on tracks like "Hymn To Freedom" and "Blues For Big Scotia", reminding us that jazz is not just about technical perfection, but also about having fun and letting loose.

So if you're in the mood for some top-notch jazz music that will make you smile, cry, and maybe even dance a little, look no further than Oscar Peterson's More Classic Verve Albums. Trust us, your ears will thank you.
