These first recordings with the Canadian pianist were created in a legendary living room session in 1961. After a concert in Zurich, Peterson was led through the Black Forest night to MPS-founder Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer's villa in Villingen, where he was received by a small group of enthusiastic friends. And that's how he can be experienced on this 'pilot' album from the box set Exclusively For My Friends, in a markedly cozy atmosphere with his accompanists Ray Brown (b) and Ed Thigpen (drums). Cole Porter's "At Long Last Love" bubbles over with liveliness, while the two Gershwin adaptations "I've Got a Crush on You" and "Foggy Day", are at once lyrical and dreamy while still possessing a tender exuberance. The balanced interaction of the trio is clearly audible in the ballad "Easy Walker" which strides along in an almost outrageously relaxed mood. On "Like Someone in Love", Peterson allows his wealth of modulation and eloquent improvisations to cite his role model, Art Tatum, but also offers Thigpen room for an excellent solo. However, the star of this record is without a doubt the rousing, Latin infected "Tin Tin Dao" with its fantastic rolling figures and flying improvisations. The recording of that legendary night in 1961 (after it was allowed to appear seven years later due to Peterson's contractual obligations) was the starting point of the MPS catalog. However, the star of this record is without a doubt the rousing, Latin infected "Tin Tin Dao" with its fantastic rolling figures and flying improvisations.

    An album you just gotta hear !

    Posted by James on 10th Mar 2022

    Girl Talk was one of the first albums Oscar recorded while living in Germany over a period of over 5 years in the 1970's. Apparently all the recordings in this series were recorded in the home of a local producer Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer Studios West Germany. According to documentaiton they would host a small `chamber-style' concert in Hans' studio and over a 5 year interval managed to record a number of albums in a series aply titled `exclusively for his friends'. The other band members who support Peterson on this recoding is Sam Jones (Bass) , Ray Brown (Bass), Bob Durham (Drums) and Louis Hayes (Drums).

    Overall, Girl Talk was a smack in my face. I didn't care much for him, but now I consider him a great among others.
