Oscar Peterson - Get Happy (2001) CD Rip

Nineteen examples of rarely heard (and never in better sound) Oscar in his early American period. Accompanied by either Major Holley or Ray Brown, he displayed a lightness of touch, rhythmic precision, and amazing fluency and inventiveness – qualities which were to impress impresario Norman Granz. The rest, as they like to say, is history.
In conversation with Gene Lees, Oscar remembered that when he first went to the United States he quickly discovered that there were no African-Americans in studio orchestras. “This is why black musicians had to go the way of the jazz route. And I decided that if the only way I was going to make it happen was to frighten the hell out of everybody pianistically, then that’s the way I was going to make it”.
