Oscar Peterson’s classic ‘Plays The Cole Porter Songbook’ plus 14 bonus tracks, includes 20-page booklet with new specially prepared liner notes by Penguin Guide to Jazz’s writer Brian Morton and by Paris’ prestigious Jazz Magazine.“With Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums, Oscar Peterson reworks Cole Porter and says something original and distinctive.Highlights include ‘Love for Sale,’ ‘Night and Day’, and ‘I Love Paris’.” – Ron Wynn, AllMusic“As with Ella, Porter seems the ideal source for Peterson, an unparalleled alliance of verbal and musical dexterity that constantly challenges the improviser who has to find musical equivalents for those glittering rhymes.” “The chemistry of this trio gives the impression that behind the sounds there is just one single mind.This is a reference album.” – Penguin Guide To Jazz
