Oscar Peterson was a Canadian virtuoso pianist whose technical command and harmonic sophistication set the standard for jazz piano. The Oscar Peterson Trio, with its classic lineup of upright bass and drums, defined the intimate, swinging jazz ensemble. We Get Requests features Peterson and company interpreting popular jazz standards with elegance and spontaneity. Peterson's touch is both technically brilliant and emotionally warm, while the rhythm section locks in with responsive precision. The music swings effortlessly, rooted in bebop tradition but sophisticated in its execution. This 2009 reissue captures the essence of mainstream jazz at its most refined and soulful.
