1956
The set is available from online vendors. My scan above is a better representation of the original jacket color.
Well crafted light jazz/mood album.
From the back cover: Why any observer should relate an artist's appearance to his music is difficult to understand – nothing could be more irrelevant. Still, the fact is, one can't possibly help noticing the size of Oscar Peterson. He's a hugh mammoth of a man and yet this great height and overall size is belied by the gentle, almost caressing touch he gives the piano – all the more noticeable on this album where the mood is pastel.
Also from the back cover: Giving Oscar Peterson equally first-rate assistance are two rhythm men, Ray Brown on bass and Irving Ashby, guitar. With intelligence and imagination, they abet Oscar in a good example of teamwork on:
You Go To My Head
They Can't Take That Away From Me
There's A Small Hotel
You Turned The Tables On Me
These Foolish Things (Remind My Of You)
I Can't Get Started
Blue Moon
East Of The Sun (West Of The Moon)
And Herb Ellis, Guitar, and Ray Brown, Bass, on:
My Old Flame
I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You
Serenade In Blue
Sweet Lorranie
Angel Eyes
Unforgettable
Moonglow
