250 Albums- An Arbitrary Rumble Through My Record Collection # 230 Oscar Peterson - exclusively for my friends

 


I just had a rather golden forty five minutes with this album. My work was done by lunchtime and the day was mine.  I've just reconnected with someone who is incredibly important to me and my life has taken.on a magical quality It's a glorious day in Newcastle. I'm feeling. happy and calm. It almost feels as if my heart is filling like a tank of an engine being pumped with warm blood 

So I've put on one of the series of  exclusively for my friends the set of album recorded by The Oscar Peterson Trio, thrown open the windows of my flat to allow the thin and balmy air to fill my flat and the music is filling my senses.

Recorded between 1963 and 1968 these records are inspired exercises in time and space. They communicate a sense of stillness and calm that I can't derive from anything else and allow the listener to connect to the moment in an indescribably rich and consuming manner. Surely the whole purpose of being alive. .
