Music reviews of Plays the Cole Porter Songbook
Music Review: Delightful and De-Lovely!
Rating: 5 Stars
"Oscar Peterson plays the best ivory box I've ever heard." ~ Count Basie ~
This is one of the Songbook series that Oscar Peterson recorded in 1950s under the production of Norman Granz of Verve Records. And if you love the standards from the Great American Songbook, this CD "Oscar Peterson Plays The Cole Porter Songbook" will delight your auditory sense to the fullest. Listening to Peterson play his favorite instrument effortlessly together with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen as they perform a dozen of Cole Porter staples is "just one of those things" that truly adds joy to any listener's musical adventure.
I share Count Basie's sentiment when he said that "Peterson plays the best ivory box he has ever heard." Some of the finest jazz pianists today singled him out as a great influence to their technique. One of them is the recently declared Grammy Award winner, Herbie Hancock, who once said and I quote: "Oscar Peterson is the greatest living influence on jazz pianists today." This Songbook album is one of the true representations why Peterson was hailed as one of the greatest virtuosos of jazz piano. He deserved the accolade.
Although I have selected a few of my top favorites, "I Concentrate On You," "Every Time We Say Goodbye," "I've Got You Under My Skin," "In The Still of the Night," Easy To Love" and "I Love Paris," all the performances are equally interesting and flawlessly rendered. You'll enjoy the CD in its entirety. "It's delightful and it's de-lovely!"
Wholeheartedly recommended!
