Customer Reviews

One of the best, a true classic!
Oscar Peterson and Milt Jackson, two of the true giants of Jazz, meeting at the height of their powers - can it get any better? Probably not. Peterson is in full force, romping through "Reunion Blues" and "Work Song" as if in overdrive. Jackson adds his personal touch with incredible time and a big, big bag of arabesques, more than you can possibly think of. Even the ballads, like "A Wonderful Guy" and "On Green Doplhin Street" will make you tap your foot and long for more. The "Repeat"-button on your CD-player was invented for this record! (If you can't get enough, try the CDs "Ain't But A Few Of Us Left" and "Reunion Blues", the latter with a great rendition of "Satisfaction".)

The best thing your ears could ever ask for
I'm only 14 and most people would think that I listen to modern music, but no, this is the type of stuff that makes me look to the past for good music. This is one of the best albums ever, be it in Jazz or music in general.
This album is solid all the way through, starting off with the very mellow and relaxing "On Green Dolphin Street" to the last track, "Reunion Blues", probably my favorite track on the album. Oscar Peterson and Bags both really swing on this track and Ed Thigpen(drums) does a great job off backing them up. In addition to make this album even better Ray Brown is on the bass.
This album in my eyes is simply a classic; very mellow, very relaxing, very well done, and most importantly very good.

what do you expect? It might be even better...
When you read the two names on the cover you immediately get excited about two of the biggest names when it comes to jazz and how the collaboration will be. It does not disapoint. Although Peterson clearly adapted his play a bit to Jackson, it does not make him any less brilliant, the way he allowed Jackson to shine even more but still be able to express himself is the way only a great musician can. Jackson himself plays as he is supposed to do, as we know him. It is slightly different than in the MJQ, but then in a fresh way. The timing and choices of all of the artists are perfect.

The result is a sound fresh and uncomplicated, it is truly what two geniusses who have nothing to prove make while having fun.
Greatly recommended, to any Jazz fan.
