Synopsis

Product Description
When the pianist turns his talents to singing, you can generally be sure that there'll be marked similarities in both. That's how it is with Oscar Peterson. If his piano playing has such items as strength, a light-bodied rhythm and a pleasing, insinuating kind of vigor - that's what you'll find in his vocal style as well, and this, of course, is all to the good. There's been a marked trend lately in which expert musicians are trying their hand at singing and this, too, is all to the good.

'A good singer, in short, must tell a story. Oscar Peterson knows how to tell a story.' - Norman Granz.
