{"product_id":"oscar-peterson-classic-verve-albums-collection-cd","title":"Oscar Peterson - Classic Verve Albums Collection (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003eBorn 25th August, 1925 in Montreal, Canada, Oscar Emmanuel Peterson grew up in Little Burgundy, a predominantly black neighbourhood in greater Quebec. He took up piano and trumpet at age five, quickly becoming adept on both instruments. At seven he was diagnosed with tuberculosis which prevented him from playing the trumpet, he thus concentrated on the piano during this time, practising four to six hours a day. Studying under the Hungarian-born player Paul de Marky - himself a student of virtuoso Istvan Thoman - the young Oscar began learning classical piano but later switched to jazz styles, most notably 'boogie-woogie'. By 1961, with the piano-bass-drums line up now firmly established, the OPT performed a week's residency at The London House, a renowned jazz spot in Chicago. These performances were among the finest the new line-up ever gave, and were released on Verve as four separate albums; The Trio, Something Warm, The Sound Of The Trio and Put On A Happy Face, in '61 and early '62. The following year, Peterson's most commercially successful record Night Train (Verve, 1963), was released, another Trio masterpiece that due to it's shorter track times, received considerable radio play. Oscar Peterson's extraordinary career spanned more than 60 years during which time he won eight Grammys among a host of other awards and honours, and played on over 200 albums. His live repertoire was equally impressive and the great man remains among the most respected jazz musicians of all time. This 4CD collection brings together eight of Oscar Peterson's finest albums, all recorded for the esteemed Verve label during his heyday in the late 1950s and early 1960s. A dynamic introduction to Peterson's best work, this box set equally serves as a welcome reminder for those already familiar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want to Be Happy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pennies from Heaven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered\/Dont Know Why (I Just Do)\/How Long Has This Been Going On\/I Can't Get Started\/Polka Dots and Moonbeams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I'm Glad There Is You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tour's End\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Was Doing All Right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bronx Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Touch of Your Lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e When Your Lover Has Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bye Bye Blackbird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e How Deep Is the Ocean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sunday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e This Can't Be Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I've Never Been in Love Before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Chicago\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Night We Called It a Day\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Sometimes I'm Happy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Whisper Not\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Billy Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e (There Is) No Greater Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Remember Clifford\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Autumn Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Blues for Big Scotia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Swamp Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tricrotism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e On Green Dolphin Street\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Thag's Dance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ill Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Kadota's Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Put on a Happy Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Old Folks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Woody 'N' You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Yesterdays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Diablo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Soon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Lonesome One\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Night Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e C Jam Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Georgia on My Mind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bags' Groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moten Swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Easy Does It\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Honey Dripper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Things Ain't What They Used to Be\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e I Got It Bad (And That Ain't Good)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Band Call\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hymn to Freedom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Days of Wine and Roses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My One and Only Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Have You Met Miss Jones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e You Look Good to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Girl from Ipanema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e D ; E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Time and Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Goodbye J.D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49365068382482,"sku":"823564870007","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/3837502.jpg?v=1717107129","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/oscar-peterson-classic-verve-albums-collection-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
