The Verve Silver Collection

Oscar Peterson did most of his recordings for Verve with his trio, but occasionally he was heard with larger ensembles. Much of the material on ths CD compilation finds Peterson interpreting well-known standards surrounded by a large ensemble arranged and conducted by Nelson Riddle. Four superb tracks with the trio round out this collection.
