Oscar Peterson Quartet - Oscar Peterson Quartet 1
Review by Torsten Beeck
The Oscar Peterson Quartet 1 album is a timeless classic that showcases the incredible talent and skill of the legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and his quartet. The album features a series of jazz standards and originals, each of which is performed with masterful precision and creativity.
The quartet's chemistry and synergy are evident in every track, with Peterson's virtuosic piano playing perfectly complemented by the bass of Ray Brown, the drums of Ed Thigpen, and the guitar of Herb Ellis. The musicians' interplay and improvisation are a joy to listen to, and the album is a testament to the power of jazz as an art form.

Notes
- Original deep groove mono press with David Stone Martin artwork.
- Black label with silver print. Trumpet player with cursive Verve symbol.
- First catalogue number on label, second catalogue number on cover
- Recorded in Los Angeles, CA, February 26, 1952.
- Side A originally released 1952 as Mercury MGC-116 10" LP and reissued 1953 as Clef MGC-116 10" LP.
- Comes in mini LP replica with OBI & Japanese insert.
- Recorded live Los Angeles, CA, February 26, 1952.
- Originally released 1952 as Mercury MGC-116 10" LP.
- Reissued 1953 as Clef MGC-116 10" LP.
- David Stone Martin cover first appears on 1957 reissue as Verve MGV 8072 12" LP. As distinct from later reissues, the Verve mark is in a shaded rectangle, not a circle, and the cover does not have "Quartet Supervised by Norman Grantz" vertically on right side.
- However, there are two U.S. releases with this cover, the earlier has a trumpet player sketch on the label that latter doesn't. Thus, this should be separated into two releases with that distinction.
