Review by Vashima Velosakarun

Oscar Peterson Plays Porgy and Bess is an exceptional album that showcases the brilliance of Oscar Peterson's piano playing. Released in 1959, the album features Peterson's interpretations of the timeless songs from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess.

The album opens with a lively rendition of "I Got Plenty O' Nuttin'," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Peterson's playing is energetic and precise, with every note ringing out clearly. His improvisations are intricate and imaginative, adding new dimensions to the familiar melodies.

Peterson's playing is particularly noteworthy on tracks like "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" and "It Ain't Necessarily So." On these tracks, he showcases his technical prowess and his ability to evoke the emotions at the heart of the music.

The album also features a number of ballads, including "Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now." On these tracks, Peterson's playing is restrained and delicate, emphasizing the beauty of the melodies.

Canadian jazz pianist, composer, and band leader. Born: 15 August 1925 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Died: 23 December 2007 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. He went through a classical piano education before turning to jazz, playing mostly in Canadian night clubs in Toronto and Montreal. Only after repeated urgings by American colleagues he was persuaded to give a JATP performance at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1949. It was a smashing success. He then worked together with , at first as a duo, before founding in 1952 his first trio which included in succession, the guitarists , and . At the end of the 1950s the guitar was replaced by drums. Peterson went on many European tours. He has made recordings with just about everybody who's anybody in jazz. His keys touch corresponds to almost explosive ornamentation in phrasing. Despite all the dynamics, a boundless desire for improvisation, a sublime artistic technique, however, the structure of his play (i.e. the over-all conception of harmonic means, phrasing, rhythms, etc.) remains translucent and tight.

And Oscar doesn't come in until :49 which I think is kind of a tease. But with the other 2 cats - there's no rush.

Now this is a masterpiece.
Ray Brown's intro to _Nuttin'_ bears a certain similarity to the famous intro to _Birdland._
