Pianist has long been such a consistent performer that none of his records are throwaways, but this particular set is weaker than most. Since several of the songs are the type that in the mid-'60s would get requested (such as 'People,' 'The Girl from Ipanema,' and 'The Days of Wine and Roses'), the program would not seem to have much potential, but mostly uplifts the material (although not much could be done with 'People') and adds a few songs (such as his own 'Goodbye, J.D.'

And ' 'D & E'). Overall, this is a reasonably enjoyable session, featuring bassist and drummer. Htri Xchanger Suite Free - Download Free Apps on this page.

'We Get Requests' is an album by jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and his trio, released in 1964. This is one of my most favourite albums. The liner notes, both the original unacredited notes but presumbly by producer Jim Davis, and Phil Bailey's reissue notes, are much what you would expect on an album from one of jazz's greatest trios. Pure extascy. Both speak of Peterson's incredible virtuosity, and the seamlessness of the trio.

Both compliments are certainly deserved, but the excesive laudation does get in the way of appreciatinq a truly fantastic recording. That's not to say that the music is not well above par. It certainly is. They even brinq a new face to the Girl From Ipanema. The solo voices are also very well developed. In each tune the soloist actually has something to say - whether it be Peterson, Brown or Thigpen - and the remaining players don't hold him back or try to dominate. Its not an understatement to describe 'We Get Requests' as exhibiting the famed synchronicity of the Oscar Peterson Trio's live performances.
