"Vol. 16 of the Verve Jazz Masters series features pianist Oscar Peterson, who recorded prolifically for them from his start in the early '50s up to the early '70s. A single CD could never do Peterson justice, but this one, featuring 15 solid tracks, is evenly balanced between trio and guitar-accented small ensembles, with three big-band tracks added in. The hottest numbers are "Woody 'n You," his original (one of only three of his compositions) "Evrev," and "The Honeydripper." The jazz orchestras nearly consume Peterson during "West Coast Blues," "O.P.," and the stringy "Someday My Prince Will Come." "

And this one isn't on the top shelf. However it is indicative of the talent that Oscar exhibited during his long successful career. A variety of settings, trio, orcheastrated, solo... all dripping with the craftsmanship that Oscar Peterson brings to the instrument. I'd give it a 5... but there are better releases out there which can be enjoyed by the listener. If you are an ardent fan (like my sis) you will have to have this one too! As always, Verve's quality and dedication to the artists is evident. ~Jorge Barbarosa
