"This one is for Oscar fans only. Although the casual listener should be awestruck by the dizzying speed at which he plays, most fans of this master will find it elementary compared to what he would later accomplish on the keyboard. Unless you must have every cd and album ever in print, hold out for "The Complete Young Oscar Peterson". It has the same exact material plus lots more. However, if you enjoy boogie-woogie piano at break-neck tempo, then order this cd. It makes a fine sampler of one of the masters of modern jazz' early work."
