Tenderly
Peterson, Oscar & Ray Brown
Oscar Peterson (born in Montreal, Canada, on August 15, 1925; he
passed away on December 23, 2007 at the age of 82) was convinced by
jazz producer Norman Granz to travel to the United States in 1949, where
he became one of the most featured musicians in the "Granz caravan",
with respect to both studio recordings and as part of the touring Jazz at
the Philharmonic group. Peterson recorded as an accompanist for many
other stars, and also as a leader. While most of his sessions were with
his trio, the present album showcases him in piano-bass duets with Ray
Brown and Major Holley. Although he had been recorded by Granz playing
at Carnegie Hall on September 18, 1949 (the three tunes were eventually
released), the March 1950 date with Ray Brown marks the pianist's first
American studio recording, and Peterson's original, the first tune recorded
at that session, was appropriately titled "Debut".
