In 2008 the producers of the Classics Chronological Series released a 21-track
collection of studio recordings made under the supervision of Norman Granz
during the early '50s by pianist Oscar Peterson, guitarist Barney Kessel, and
bassist Ray Brown. During November and December 1952 the trio recorded a series
of tunes composed by Duke Ellington and Irving Berlin; these were subsequently
released on the Mercury label. "Booker T. Blues" and the wickedly rocking
"Streets Boogie," both spiked with Kessel's amplified guitar, appeared as a
Norgran single under the name of the Tank Butterball Trio. Released on the Clef
album Oscar Peterson Sings, tracks 13-20 illuminate another aspect of this man's
inspired and prolific career. "Pompton Turnpike," most famous as a perennial hit
by saxophonist and bandleader Charlie Barnet, comes from a session that took
place on December 6, 1953. By this time Granz and Peterson had established a
working relationship that would continue to bear fruit for several decades. The
combination of instrumental standards, gutsy blues, and vocal chestnuts makes
this a pleasantly varied installment in the complete recordings of Oscar
Peterson on Classics.
