Get Happy Detas Distributor: IDN Distribution Recording Type: Mixed Recording Mode: Mono SPAR Code: ADD Album NotesPersonnel: Oscar Peterson (piano); Austin Roberts (bass).Recorded in 1951.Recorded for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and little heard since then, these radio transcriptions (reissued on by Just a Memory) feature the brliant Oscar Peterson when he was just 25, only two years after being "discovered" by Norman Granz. Peterson performs 20 concise duets with Canadian bassist Auston Roberts; only three songs are over three minutes, and five are under two. Although Peterson's style was pretty bop-oriented during this era, he sticks mostly to swing standards. O.P.'s virtuosity was already quite developed, and he rips into such songs as "Flying Home," "I've Got Rhythm," "Seven Come Eleven," "Air Ma Special" and "Get Happy," making every moment of the brief performances count. This melodic and enjoyable set is recommended even to Oscar Peterson fans who already have over 100 of his records. ~ Scott Yanow CONDITIONI MINT E' COME NUOVO
