Artist: Oscar Peterson Title Of Album: Oscar Peterson - Somebody Loves Me Year Of Release: Oct 1 2005 Label: Membran Music Genre: Jazz Quality: FLAC Bitrate: lossless-image +cue +log +SCANS Total Size: 921 Mb This ranks right up there with the better Oscar Peterson CDs (namely the "Exclusively for my friends" CDs) the sound is excellent for the most part and the performances are top notch. The selections, recorded between 1950 & 1954, are mostly standards, and mostly 3-4 minutes. CD1, except for one track, are duets with bassist Austin Roberts. Most of CD2 is with the trio consisting of the impeccable Ray Brown on bass and Barney Kessel on guitar. There are a few longer tracks, giving Oscar a chance to stretch out a little, and featuring an uncredited Lester Young on tenor sax. Things pick up on CD3, where halfway through we suddenly get a beautiful "Bounce Blues" featuring Ben Webster on tenor. Then the remaining trio sides feature a more swinging Herb Ellis replacing Barney Kessel on guitar. CD4 is the best: most renditions stretching over 4 minutes. The last track really shines; a 15 minute jam on "What Is This Thing Called Love", featuring Charlie Parker, Charlie Shavers, Benny Carter, Flip Phillips, Ben Webster, Barney Kessel, Ray Brown, and J.C. Heard from Norman Granz's JATP "Charlie Parker Jam Session". Tracklist: CD 1 01. Oscar's Blues (3:11) 02. For You (2:06) 03. Pennies From Heaven (2:33) 04. Whispering (1:50) 05.
