Description
The complete album + 3 bonus tracks - limited edition 180g vinyl pressing. Besides playing the piano, the great Oscar Peterson had a close relationship to singing. He was a huge Frank Sinatra fan and even recorded an instrumental tribute album to the singer. Peterson's relationship to singing, however, was not limited to his appreciation as a fan.
In fact, he used to sing professionally and even recorded some albums showcasing his vocals. His singing style had strong connections to that of another pianist/singer, the great Nat King Cole.
In 1953 he taped an entire extended vocal session, which was issued first as a 10" LP titled 'Oscar Peterson Sings' and later expanded into a 12-inch LP as 'Romance - The Vocal Styling of Oscar Peterson', adding some isolated vocal recordings Peterson had made on mainly instrumental sessions.
