Plays The Harry Warren & Vincent Youmans Song Book

Oscar Peterson, born in Montreal, Canada, on August 15, 1925 (he died in Ontario on December 23, 2007), was convinced by Granz to travel to the United States. There, 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 the leader of his trio. By 1959, his trio consisted of Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums. This is the formation of the Oscar Peterson Trio heard on this homage to Harry Warren (1893-1981) and Vincent Youmans (1898-1946).
