Description
The complete LP + bonus track - limited edition 180g audiophile vinyl pressing. 'The Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson' is a 1959 LP by the Oscar Peterson Trio with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, described by AllMusic as "a swinging, straight-ahead affair featuring superb playing throughout."
"I own many of these 1959 releases. But if you were looking for just one record by the gentle Montreal giant (Oscar Peterson) to add to your collection I would go with that year's, The Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson." - Nick's Vinyl Picks
"The Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson "Peterson has been one of my favourite pianists for some time, but, frankly, I must admit that while I have been impressed by his marvellous facility and his ability to excite, I sometimes despaired of his being able to evoke any deeper emotions than frenzy and aimless happiness. This album convinces me I was wrong -dead wrong. one of the best Peterson albums issued." - ***** Don DeMicheal, DownBeat
