Oscar Peterson, after making his initial recordings in his native Montreal during 1945-1949, was presented by Norman Granz at a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert in 1950 and hit it big. At first he was featured in duos with either Ray Brown or Major Holley on bass. This CD begins with three selections from a Carnegie Hall concert on September 16, 1950, with Brown including extended versions of "Carnegie Blues" and "I Only Have Eyes for You." Seven studio recordings by the same duo precede the first five recordings by the Oscar Peterson Trio with Brown and guitarist Barney Kessel. This CD's final session has most of the selections recorded by Peterson and Brown with guitarist Irving Ashby on January 26, 1952; Kessel would not officially become the group's guitarist until the following month. Although more swing-oriented than he would become (and showing off the influence of Nat King Cole), Oscar Peterson was already a great virtuoso and rapidly developing his own voice on the piano. These formerly rare recordings are well worth acquiring.~Scott Yanow
