  1. The Oscar Peterson Trio - Affinity

    1962 release that seemed appropriate to play after Quintessence, since it starts with Waltz for Debbie, and also features Ray Brown (bass, who contributes an original - Gravy Waltz) and Ed Thigpen (drums)

    This is a classic piano trio session, and with Peterson at the keys, you know it's not going to disappoint...

  2. Oscar Peterson, “Motions and Emotions,” 1970 on MPS

    Oscar Peterson covering “popular” tunes, including “Yesterday,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Ode to Billy Joe.” I know some folks will find this schmaltzy but as an Oscar Peterson fan I really enjoy it.

    My copy is the 2018 reissue in the Ambassadors for MPS series, on 180g vinyl pressed at Optimal GmbH and an insert reproducing the original master tape box along with liner notes by Till Brönner, the ambassador to MPS in this case.

  4. Oscar Peterson featuring Stephane Grappelli, Peterson/Grappelli, 1974 on Prestige

    2xLP from Prestige bringing together Canadian jazz pianist Peterson with French jazz violinist Grappelli. The two also appeared together on a live Pablo album (Skol) in 1982 (recorded in 1979).

    This double LP was recorded in Paris February 22nd and 23rd, 1973. Peterson and Grappelli are joined by Niels Henning Oersted Pederson on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums. It was also released (credited to Oscar Peterson – Stephane Grappelli Quartet) as 2 separate LPs (vol 1 and vol 2) on America records in France and later by Verve in the US.

    My copy—via a record fair at Mill No. 5—is a first US pressing with yellow Prestige labels with the blue logo mark.
