TENDERLY [2LP] (180 GRAM, DOWNLOAD, LIMITED TO 985, INDIE-RETAIL EXCLUSIVE) (RSD 2016)

Recorded in the summer of 1958 at the Orpheum Theater in Vancouver, and featuring the Oscar Peterson Trio (with bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis), the set finds the group in top form, featuring a simmering treatment of Alone Together and a pristine take of My Funny Valentine. The trio delves into rarely heard original material, including Peterson's lovely Music Box Suite (also known as Daisy's Dream). The consistent high quality of the performances and the opportunity to hear less well-known songs make this vinyl an essential purchase for fans of Oscar Peterson. ?Side A?1. Alone Together?2.
