Description
Cut for Verve in the early 60s, Very Tall pairs the classic Oscar Peterson Trio with Milt Jackson stepping out from MJQ, and the chemistry is instant. Peterson’s left hand prods a medium blues while Ray Brown’s line nudges unexpected corners; listen for Ed Thigpen’s feathered brushes setting a buoyant pocket before Jackson floats in with glassy, lyrical runs. There is a gorgeous hush in the ballad spots where piano and vibes breathe in tandem, then a brisk closer where they trade fours with a grin you can almost hear.
This LP pressing does right by the band. Space opens up around the vibraphone so the mallet attack and bloom feel natural, and the low end sits deeper without smudging the swing. Prefer to order from home? You can buy Oscar Peterson records online through our shop.
File it next to Modern Jazz Quartet for that refined vibe-and-rhythm conversation, but expect a looser, earthier Peterson groove rather than chamber poise. It’s a set you can throw on for an easy Saturday tidy or a late-night unwind, and still find small details each time, like Thigpen’s tiny accents on the snare ghosting into Jackson’s phrases.
Available to buy online with quick delivery Australia wide, or pick it up in our Melbourne record store.
