The Song Books, 5 Audio-CDs

Darauf warten die Fans schon lange: Oscar Petersons legendäre Song Books mit seinen atemberaubenden Einspielungen der Werke der bekanntesten amerikanischen Songschreiber - weltweit erstmals in zwei 5-CD-Boxen versammelt.

Es folgt Ohrwurm auf Ohrwurm, wenn Ausnahmepianist Peterson die Hits von Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Vincent Youmans, Harry Warren und Jimmy McHugh zum Swingen bringt!

Peterson nahm das Repertoire in den Fünfzigerjahren gleich zweimal auf: zum einen in der LP-Serie "Oscar Peterson Plays auf zehn Monoalben zwischen 1952 & 1954 und zum anderen in der LP-Serie "The Oscar Peterson Song Books" auf neun Stereoalben im Jahre 1959. Dabei unterstützten ihn in wechselnder Besetzung Ray Brown am Bass, die Gitarristen Barney Kessel und Herb Ellis, sowie Ed Thigpen an den Drums. Produziert wurde von Verve-Legende Norman Granz.

Beide Sessions erscheinen jetzt separat als remasterte 5-CD-Boxen im Schuber mit 28-seitigen Farbbooklets mit ausführlichen Linernotes und Reproduktionen der berühmten Originalcover von David Stone Martin und anderen Illustratoren. Die Klassiker sind zurück!
