About this album
The Way I Really Play is a fine showcase for Oscar Peterson’s fluent, hard-swinging piano style. Recorded in 1968, it catches him balancing immaculate technique with a looser post-bop feel, moving from standards such as “Satin Doll” and “Love Is Here To Stay” to originals including “Sandy’s Blues” and “Noreen’s Nocturne”. Peterson’s rhythmic drive and harmonic clarity make even the most familiar material feel freshly articulated, while the album’s cool-jazz poise underlines why he remained one of the most admired pianists in jazz. It is a polished, lyrical set that confirms his gift for making virtuosity sound effortless.
