Our Take

Blimey, what a jolly ol' time we've had listening to Oscar Peterson's swingin' rendition of Cole Porter classics! The jazz maestro truly shines on this album, tickling those ivories with finesse and flair.

From the moment the first notes of "Anything Goes" hit our ears, we were transported to a smoky, dimly lit club where Peterson's piano takes centre stage. His nimble fingers dance across the keys, creating a truly infectious groove that is impossible not to tap your foot along to.

Each track on this album is a delightful homage to the legendary composer, with Peterson adding his own unique twist to timeless tunes like "I Get a Kick Out of You" and "Love for Sale." It's a masterclass in interpretation, with each note played with precision and soul.

What really sets this album apart is Peterson's undeniable charisma and personality that shines through in every track. His playful nature and cheeky sense of humour make for a truly captivating listening experience that will leave you grinning from ear to ear.

So, grab yourself a cuppa and settle in for a joyous romp through the musical world of Cole Porter with Oscar Peterson at the helm. You won't be disappointed, old chap!
