Release Notes:

www.amazon.com/Complete-Clef-Mercury-Studio-Recordings/dp/B001GAQP2K/

This Mosaic Records collection is the first comprehensive study of
Oscar Peterson's earliest trio recordings, the setting for which
he was best known, throughout his reign. The collection includes
127 tunes, including five alternate masters that have never
appeared on any record, in any format. The earliest recording
dates from November 25, 1951 and the last is from December 7,
1953. In the interest of being complete, we amassed a collection
that exceeds even the one held in the Universal Music vaults; with
some original masters missing entirely, we went to collectors for
vintage 78s, second generation tapes, even rare LPs and EPs,
performing sonic miracles when necessary to achieve a quality that
meets our Mosaic standards.

Coming up in the era he did, he fell somewhere in between the
swing players and the be-boppers, and the two strains wove
together into something he never felt any reason to abandon. He
and Ray Brown had developed an almost brotherly relationship
thanks to the JATP tours they did together, and in Barney Kessel
he found another player whose solos could wipe the floor, the
walls, and the ceiling. With the JATP tours combined with these
Clef and Mercury recordings the trio found the time and
opportunity to hone their craft together and become a tight unit.
Norman Granz' vision of the "Songbook" album, was perfected by the
trio and the series of "Oscar Peterson Meetsà" have long been
unavailable and are finally in one package.

What is so compelling about the Peterson technique is the fusion
of wizardry and swing. Even when his improvisations lean more
toward the flashy, fast finger approach, it still is accomplished
with swing and taste. There are many standards and ballads where
he solos beautifully and sweetly, and with restraint. And while he
would never be mistaken for the economical Count Basie, his
comping behind other musicians was spot on, delicate, and
tasteful. On other songs, when the goal was to set the keyboard on
fire, no one could put together as many choruses of blazing
combinations - which he did while always remaining tuneful, and
without ever duplicating an idea.

We've included a meticulously researched discography and have
corrected known mistakes in previously published works. The essay
on Peterson's life and times, and a track by track analysis of his
work, was written by John McDonough.

By sticking to the style and presentation about which he felt
passionate, Oscar Peterson unquestionably established his own
voice as unmistakable and personal, and his name as one of the
great ones.
