The Way I Really Play
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1980 Silver label stereo pressing. "The Way I Really Play" by jazz legend Oscar Peterson is a masterful display of piano virtuosity and musicality. Recorded in 1968, this album showcases the iconic musician at the peak of his career, performing a mix of traditional jazz standards and original compositions with his signature flair and precision.

Peterson's technical prowess is on full display throughout the album, with lightning-fast runs, intricate chord progressions, and fluid improvisation that set the standard for pianists to come. Combine the crack rhythm of Same Jones on bass and Bob Durham on drums and you have a swinging album.
