As an adult learner, I'm absolutely delighted with these Oscar Peterson Originals. It's a challenging but incredibly rewarding experience to play these iconic jazz pieces like 'Cakewalk' and 'The Gentle Waltz.' The 'Artist Transcriptions' really help me capture the authentic feel of his playing, and the 'Performance Notes' offer great tips. It's so much fun to finally sound like the master!

A solid collection for any jazz pianist's library. The 'Lead Sheets' mean accurate chord symbols are present, which is essential for quick reads on a gig. These 'Artist Transcriptions' capture Peterson's distinctive voice perfectly. While not always standard requests, these originals are superb for dedicated jazz sets. The 32 pages are manageable for live performance.
