About
Among the most popular and artistically rewarding studio encounters with Oscar Peterson on piano are the recordings with Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Songs like "April in Paris", "Autumn in New York" and many others became immortal in these versions. A four-record musical “biography” of dancer and singer Fred Astaire is a treasure long forgotten. Peterson also shaped the recording sessions with Billie Holiday, which, produced by Granz in the early 1950s, ushered in a new, more mature phase in Lady Day's vocal artistry. The albums with Anita O'Day, the young Toni Harper and the singing drummer Buddy Rich also show why the pianist was on everybody’s first call list. Peterson was a more than acceptable singer himself (and a big fan of Nat "King" Cole), as you can hear on "Soft Sands".
