Our Take

Canadian jazz legend Oscar Peterson takes on the classic tunes of Jerome Kern in this comprehensive collection that will have you tapping your feet and reaching for your dancing shoes. Peterson's virtuosic piano skills are on full display as he effortlessly glides through each track with precision and flair.

The album kicks off with a bang as Peterson's fingers dance across the keys on "All the Things You Are," setting the tone for what's to come. His playful interpretation of Kern's compositions brings new life to these timeless tunes, breathing fresh energy into each and every track.

Peterson's impeccable sense of timing and phrasing shines through on tracks like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," where his smooth transitions and dynamic range captivate the listener from start to finish. His playful approach to Kern's melodies adds a modern twist and a sense of joy that is infectious.

Throughout the album, Peterson's bandmates provide a solid foundation for his improvisational flights, with swinging rhythms and tight arrangements that keep the music buoyant and engaging. Their chemistry is palpable, creating a cohesive and dynamic sound that underscores Peterson's stellar musicianship.

Overall, Oscar Peterson's take on the Jerome Kern songbook is a dazzling display of talent and creativity that will have you coming back for more. So grab a cocktail, dim the lights, and let Peterson's music sweep you off your feet into a world of pure musical bliss.
