After the Verve Jazz Book we continue our journey to the morning with Oscar Peterson with his famous album We Get Requests from 1964.

In the previous episode you were already introduced to Benny Goodman’s music. We are once again going big, because you will be listening to the complete legendary and famous Carnegie Hall Concert recorded on 16 January 1938. The first jazz concert in this legendary classical concert hall in New York City.

We finish this episode with a Gerry Mulligan concert from the Salle Pleyel in Paris on 1 June 1954, along with his quartet. Besides Mulligan on saxophone, you will hear Bob Brookmeyer on trombone, Red Mitchell on bass and Frank Isola on Drums.
