Our Take

Although we may never fully understand what goes on in the mind of a jazz virtuoso like Oscar Peterson, one thing is for certain: the man knows how to tickle those ivories. And when he teams up with the legendary saxophonist Ben Webster, you know you're in for a treat.

The Oscar Peterson Trio's latest offering, "Play The Songbook Hits (Gershwin, Porter Etc), is a delightful romp through some of the most beloved jazz standards of all time. From the sultry notes of George Gershwin's "Summertime" to the toe-tapping rhythms of Cole Porter's "Night and Day," this album is a veritable smorgasbord of musical delights.

What sets this album apart from the rest is the effortless chemistry between Peterson and Webster. It's as if they can read each other's minds, anticipating every twist and turn in the music with uncanny precision. And let's not forget about the rest of the trio - Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums - who provide the perfect backdrop for the two maestros to shine.

But what really makes this album stand out is the sheer joy and exuberance that permeates every note. It's infectious, leaving you tapping your feet and humming along before you even realize it. So go ahead, pop this record on the turntable, pour yourself a glass of your favourite tipple, and let the music transport you to a bygone era of smoke-filled jazz clubs and swaying dancers. Trust us, you won't be disappointed.
