Artist:  Oscar Peterson

Title:  Soft Sands

Date:  1957

Cover Photo: Ken Whitmore  

Notes:  Not you usual jazz set here, but a soft, mellow set of piano and orchestra. Oscar even sings on a song or two. Even when he's not racing the stars in his typical fluid style he can still capture your ear and draw you in. The cover photo is relaxed and maybe a touch wistful.

Line Up:

Oscar Peterson: piano, vocals

Orchestra Conducted By Buddy Bregman
