Oscar Peterson on vinyl Mellow Mood, purchased in 1968 for 2300 yen. The Silent Partner, 1979 US pressing, still in shrink wrap, probably a little over 2000 yen. #BonboriJazzRecords ^_^ These are records I purchased and stored about 40 years ago. One owner. ^_^ Playback confirmed. No skips. Mellow Mood has a scratch on "Nica's Dream," and there are a few pops. Priced a bit lower overall. Please understand the aging of the jacket and the presence of minor imperfections. Groovy, flowing, virtuoso Oscar Peterson's two albums. But for me? It's groovy, but too flashy. It lacks a certain bluesiness. He grew up well, and there was no discrimination, being Canadian, maybe that's why it's not very jazzy? That's why I don't have it in my library much. But "Nica's Dream" is cool. Horace Silver would be amazed, lol. "The Silent Partner" is film music. You can feel him trying hard to be bluesy. It's a big combo, but it's good. The members are amazing. Milt Jackson, Zoot Sims, Clark Terry, Benny Carter, etc., it's bluesy. I've played Mellow Mood a lot, it's great. Live performances are good. #BonboriJazzRecords ^_^ Discounts for multiple sets [bulk purchases]. 800 yen off for each additional set. Please see my profile. No discounts for single sets.
