Beskrivning:Pianomonstret Oscar Peterson gjorde sina flesta inspelningar med trio, men här är han för en gångs skull ensam, i den berömda Villingen-studion. Utvikningskonvolut med text av Gene Lees.
"...easily one of his finest efforts, with imaginative treatments of songs from several different decades. The stunning opener is "Give Me the Simple Life" (a piece written in the 1930s and revived as a theme for a Campbell's Soup television commercial during the 1960s), beginning with bouncing block chords in an uptempo setting, before easing back into a simmering exploration and eventually shifting to a half-time conclusion....The pianist's sole original is the demanding "A Little Jazz Exercise," a work that only a fellow jazz virtuoso would dare tackle. MPS spared no expense in getting a superb piano for Peterson and the best possible sound in the studio..." (Ken Dryden, allmusic.com)
