Oscar Peterson, Nelson Riddle - The Special Magic Of Oscar Peterson And Nelson Riddle flac album

Though not exclusively subtle and romantic, Riddle and Peterson strike a golden bipartisan compromise in rendering these well-known American popular songs into quietly burning embers of pure delight.

After seeing the Trio perform at the London House in Chicago (now defunct), Riddle met with Peterson to discuss how Peterson’s pianistics could be presented in a setting similar to the sound of the old Claude Thornhill band, whom both admired
