OSCAR PETERSON PLAYS GEORGE GERSHWIN Mono Clef Records MG C-605 US Pressing 1953 NEAR MINT!
Barney Kessel and Ray Brown! Trumpet Logo and BEAUTIFUL David Stone Martin cover art!
Vinyl is NM with NICE gloss, no marks, super CLEAN, looks un-played, comes with white paper inner sleeve which is not original, I think these came with the thin rice paper sleeves that often fell apart or were discarded. Black and Silver labels are CLEAN, no spindle marks. Jacket is graded NM- with very faint signs of shelf and age wear, looks barely handled at all. Not everybody agrees about how to grade LP's so PLEASE look at the pics closely, they are detailed and accurate. I think you would be hard pressed to find a cleaner copy. Years ago I acquired a bunch of LP's on the Clef and Norgran labels. They all came from a man who worked at the label in the 1950's, I would assume he was given one copy of everything that was released while he worked there as he had quite a few. He was not a Jazz dude at all and I don't think he ever played any of these records, this LP came from that batch. Please check out my other auctions for more from this same lot.
FROM the NET: Oscar Peterson, coming up in the music era he did, 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 music tours they did together, and in Barney Kessel he found another player whose jazz solos could wipe the floor, the walls, and the ceiling. What is so compelling about the Oscar 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 jazz combinations - which he did while always remaining tuneful, and without ever duplicating an idea.
This is a "no reserve" auction starting at $9.99 so let the chips fall where they may!!!
I grade as accurately as possible based on the standard Goldmine Grading Scale, landing on the conservative side when in doubt.
