Oscar Peterson – Very Tall (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Peterson and Milt Jackson were two of the most harmonically sophisticated improvisers in jazz, and their natural chemistry on this 1961 session makes the pairing feel almost inevitable in retrospect. Jackson's vibraphone adds a resonant warmth that complements Peterson's piano without crowding it, opening up the ensemble sound in ways the standard trio format simply couldn't.
Oscar Peterson Trio - "Very Tall (Verve Acoustic Sound Series)" / Very Tall, released in 1961, features the first partnership between Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson. The quartet set (which also includes bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) swings as hard as one might expect. Highlights include "On Green Dolphin Street," 'John Brown's Body' (a jam on 'Battle Hymn of the Republic') and 'Reunion Blues.' Verve's Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
