Notes

"It was Ella Fitzgerald who really launched the 'songbook' concept that became Norman Granz's commercial cornerstone at Verve, but Oscar Peterson can claim some credit for it, too. (...) As with Ella, Porter seems the ideal source for Peterson, an unparalleled alliance of verbal and musical dexterity that constantly challenges the improviser who has to find musical equivalents for those glittering rhymes." - Brian Morton Originally released as [r3983230] (Verve Records MG VS-6083) in 1959.
