Buddy De Franco And Oscar Peterson - The George Gershwin Song Book
Review by Yasin KÖSE
The George Gershwin Song Book by Buddy De Franco and Oscar Peterson is a classic album that showcases the musical genius of two jazz icons. Released in 1959, the album features De Franco's virtuosic clarinet playing and Peterson's masterful piano work, all centered around the timeless compositions of George Gershwin.
The album opens with the upbeat and swinging "I Got Rhythm," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. De Franco's clarinet dances effortlessly over Peterson's cascading piano lines, creating a joyful and infectious sound. Other highlights of the album include the soulful ballad "Embraceable You" and the playful "Oh, Lady Be Good."
Throughout the album, De Franco and Peterson demonstrate their deep understanding of Gershwin's music, infusing each track with their own unique style and energy. The result is an album that is both respectful of the original compositions and a stunning showcase of the artists' incredible talent.

About Buddy De Franco And Oscar Peterson
Canadian jazz pianist, composer, and band leader.
Born: 15 August 1925 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Died: 23 December 2007 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
He went through a classical piano education before turning to jazz, playing mostly in Canadian night clubs in Toronto and Montreal.
Only after repeated urgings by American colleagues he was persuaded to give a JATP performance at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1949. It was a smashing success. He then worked together with , at first as a duo, before founding in 1952 his first trio which included in succession, the guitarists , and . At the end of the 1950s the guitar was replaced by drums.
Peterson went on many European tours. He has made recordings with just about everybody who's anybody in jazz.
His keys touch corresponds to almost explosive ornamentation in phrasing. Despite all the dynamics, a boundless desire for improvisation, a sublime artistic technique, however, the structure of his play (i.e. the over-all conception of harmonic means, phrasing, rhythms, etc.) remains translucent and tight.
