{"product_id":"oscar-peterson-classic-verve-albums-collection-cd","title":"Oscar Peterson - Classic Verve Albums Collection [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBorn 25th August, 1925 in Montreal, Canada, Oscar Emmanuel Peterson grew up in Little Burgundy, a predominantly black neighbourhood in greater Quebec. He took up piano and trumpet at age five, quickly becoming adept on both instruments. At seven he was diagnosed with tuberculosis which prevented him from playing the trumpet, he thus concentrated on the piano during this time, practising four to six hours a day. Studying under the Hungarian-born player Paul de Marky - himself a student of virtuoso Istvan Thoman - the young Oscar began learning classical piano but later switched to jazz styles, most notably 'boogie-woogie'. By 1961, with the piano-bass-drums line up now firmly established, the OPT performed a week's residency at The London House, a renowned jazz spot in Chicago. These performances were among the finest the new line-up ever gave, and were released on Verve as four separate albums; The Trio, Something Warm, The Sound Of The Trio and Put On A Happy Face, in '61 and early '62. The following year, Peterson's most commercially successful record Night Train (Verve, 1963), was released, another Trio masterpiece that due to it's shorter track times, received considerable radio play. Oscar Peterson's extraordinary career spanned more than 60 years during which time he won eight Grammys among a host of other awards and honours, and played on over 200 albums. His live repertoire was equally impressive and the great man remains among the most respected jazz musicians of all time. This 4CD collection brings together eight of Oscar Peterson's finest albums, all recorded for the esteemed Verve label during his heyday in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A dynamic introduction to Peterson's best work, this box set equally serves as a welcome reminder for those already familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want to Be Happy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePennies from Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered\/Dont Know Why (I Just Do)\/How Long Has This Been Going On\/I Can't Get Started\/Polka Dots and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Glad There Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTour's End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Was Doing All Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBronx Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Touch of Your Lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen Your Lover Has Gone 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBye Bye Blackbird 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Deep Is the Ocean 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Wee Small Hours of the Morning 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSunday 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis Can't Be Love 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI've Never Been in Love Before 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Wee Small Hours of the Morning 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicago 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Night We Called It a Day 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSometimes I'm Happy 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhisper Not 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBilly Boy 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(There Is) No Greater Love 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Remember Clifford 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutumn Leaves 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues for Big Scotia 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwamp Fire 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTricrotism 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn Green Dolphin Street 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThag's Dance 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIll Wind 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKadota's Blues 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut on a Happy Face 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOld Folks 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoody 'N' You 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYesterdays 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiablo 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoon 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lonesome One 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNight Train 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eC Jam Blues 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeorgia on My Mind 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBags' Groove 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoten Swing 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEasy Does It 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoney Dripper 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings Ain't What They Used to Be 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good) 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBand Call 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHymn to Freedom 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Days of Wine and Roses 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy One and Only Love 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave You Met Miss Jones 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Look Good to Me 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Girl from Ipanema 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eD ; E 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime and Again 6\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoodbye J.D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 823564870007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enlightenment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.7.18\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oscar Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51475158696232,"sku":"513161","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/0155\/4472\/files\/3837502.jpg?v=1772244542","url":"https:\/\/soldoutvinylrecords.com\/products\/oscar-peterson-classic-verve-albums-collection-cd","provider":"soldoutvinylrecords","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
