Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Recorded in 1957, this Verve session caught Armstrong in a remarkably intimate setting, stripped of the big band arrangements he often worked within and placed instead in direct conversation with Peterson's nimble, swinging trio. The chemistry is immediate and unforced, Armstrong's voice and horn both carrying that weathered warmth that no amount of technical precision can manufacture, meeting Peterson's fleet-fingered elegance note for note.
Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson is a brilliant undertaking in which Verve's legendary "house pianist" encountered one of jazz's most revered giants. Backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio - bassist Ray Brown, guitarist Herb Ellis and frequent fourth member Louis Bellson on drums - the heavyweights created an album that is utterly compelling, radiantly jubilant and consummate in artistry. Acoustic Sounds Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
