This CD reissue brings back a unique duet recording featuring pianist Oscar Peterson and vibraphonist Milt Jackson. One would expect the instrumentation to feature mostly ballads, but the opposite is true as O.P. and Bags romp through quite a few uptempo pieces. Highlights include "Oh, Lady Be Good," "Limehouse Blues," "Reunion Blues," and "Just You, Just Me." This is a successful and highly enjoyable outing. ~Scott Yanow
Two Of The Few
Always have a problem of the post 1960's Oscar Peterson. I know that he can play fast, but sometimes, it's so fast that it became noisy. That's the case of half of the songs here. But Milt Jackson is truly great. The best cuts here are the slower ones. Anyway, not so bad. Merci.
