Customer Reviews:

smooth vocals and swinging playing.......2006-08-14

Oscar P and his heavenly vocals aswellas piano playing.
Absolutely one of the best vocal jazz recordings ever.
Oscar's vocal style is very near to Nat Cole and his trio plays in very similar style.
This recording is done earlier than Oscar's Nat Cole tribute "with respect". But this here is much better.
It is hip, cool and swings. Buy it !!!

An absolute gem........2006-08-11

Who knew Oscar Peterson sang like Nat King Cole? And when I say "sang like," I mean, "Hey, is that Nat King Cole?"
Sure, Oscar lacks the polish, but man, he's got the feel.
Romantic indeed. this is one of the true gems, and a must for any real fan of one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.
