Our Take

Oscar Peterson, the jazz piano maestro with fingers faster than a squirrel with a caffeine addiction, takes on the timeless tunes of Cole Porter in this gem of an album. Playing on a solid blue vinyl that's almost as smooth as Peterson's playing, this release feels like a secret handshake between jazz aficionados and vinyl enthusiasts.

From the moment Peterson's fingers touch the keys on "I've Got You Under My Skin", it's clear that this album is a masterclass in musicality. His playful interpretation of Porter's classics is like a jazzercise routine for the ears, leaving you bobbing your head and tapping your feet in unison.

The real cherry on top of this musical sundae is the bonus track, a hidden gem that shines brighter than the sequins on Liberace's blazer. It's like finding a fiver in your pocket that you forgot about - unexpected but oh so satisfying.

Whether you're a die-hard jazz fan or just looking to add some class to your vinyl collection, "Oscar Peterson Plays The Cole Porter Songbook" is a must-have. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of something fancy, settle into a plush armchair, and let Peterson's magic transport you to a smoky jazz club circa 1950. Trust me, you won't regret it.
