The LP showcases Peterson playing romantic ballads backed by the Buddy Bregman orchestra, and singing on four tunes in a style akin to Nat “King” Cole. As a bonus, we have included the complete trio album "Oscar Peterson Plays My Fair Lady", and a live performance of John Lewis’ composition 'The Golden Striker' that has also never previously appeared on CD. ---freshsoundrecords.com
