Songbooks: + 14 Original Albums + Bonus-Tracks

"It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing", this legendary quote by his colleague Duke Ellington best expresses for Oscar Peterson what jazz actually is

And what could be a better confirmation of this than this box? It contains the aural proof in the form of some of the best albums Peterson has recorded, including "At The Stratford Shakespearean Festival" or "At The Concertgebouw". The trio formation occupies a special place in Peterson's career. Both constellations - with bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis or Ray Brown or Ed Thigpen on drums - have remained unmatched in these configurations

In the years from 1958 onwards, other classics such as "Porgy & Bess", "Swinging Brass", or recordings of songbooks from Duke Ellington George Gershwin to Cole Porter

As a bonus, the fantastic 1957 album "Anita Sings The Most" by the by Peterson's much admired Anita O'Day.
