Oscar Peterson Plays the Duke Ellington Songbook

After the introduction of the LP format in the mid-fifties, jazz producer Norman Granz presented the jazz world with conceptual albums based on the compositions of the most famous American songwriters. This particular recording came about during a series of intense sessions during which Peterson and his band taped many different songbooks by the most renowned American composers. Throughout 1959, Peterson waxed his tributes to Harry Warren & Vincent Youmans, Cole Porter, the present homage to the Duke, Jerome Kern, Richard Rodgers, Irving Berlin, Harold Arlen, and Jimmy McHugh.
