Oscar Peterson - Plays the Duke Ellington Song Book

This CD combines Peterson's 1952 program of Ellingtonia (featuring Ray Brown on bass and Barney Kessel on guitar) with a 1959 session (with drummer Ed Thigpen replacing Kessel) devoted to the exact same repertoire, but with subtle differences in interpretation. This title is part of Verve's Master Edition series featuring meticulous restoration, superior digital sound and deluxe packaging.
