Very Special Album 8 Oct 2009
Format:Audio CD
I bought this in 1973 on the Music for Pleasure label for 50 pence (vinyl of course) and have been waiting for years for a CD. Poor quality recording but peerless music. Unlike so much jazz, Peterson here doesn't just witter away over some vague semblance of the chords, but takes the original genius of Kern's tunes/arrangements and then progressively builds upon them in his own inimitable fashion. For me this is his greatest era, and this album together with Night Train among my favourites. Not perhaps an album for purist bee-bop lovers, but for the rest of us..............

Shame on Verve 10 Feb 2012
By J.Claude Paris - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Shamefully and lazily once again Verve only delivers the 1959 version of the Jerome kern Songbook. I sorely miss the 1952-53 version with Herb Ellis/Barney Kessel! They did it in the past for Ellington and gershwin why not here? So we must rely on European releases who did a much better job with the Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and a few others.
