Description

Special 180g Vinyl Reissue!

An Oscar Peterson Christmas is a 1995 album by Oscar Peterson. Pianist Oscar Peterson turns in a relaxed and exceedingly pleasant set of Christmas favorites on this perennial holiday favorite. An Oscar Peterson Christmas finds the jazz legend playing impressively with accompaniment from guitarist Lorne Lofsky, bassist David Young, drummer Jerry Fuller, and a 20-piece string section arranged and conducted by Rick Wilkins.

The standouts among the 10 holiday tunes here include "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman," "White Christmas," and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," which are all given tasteful, balanced and lightly swinging treatments befitting of the soundtrack to any holiday party.

With so many musicians making so many seasonal records, while it's true that some have not stood the test of time very well, one or two other Christmas specials have become all-time jazz classics. This venture by Oscar Peterson now joins that select company of classics, with an album that unashamedly celebrates Christmas in traditional style. A must have for any and all holiday music collections.
