Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Louis Armstrong Meets Oscar Peterson is a brilliant undertaking in which Verve’s legendary «house pianist» encountered one of jazz’s most revered giants. Backed by the Oscar Peterson Trio – bassist Ray Brown, guitarist Herb Ellis and frequent fourth member Louis Bellson on drums – the heavyweights created an album that is utterly compelling, radiantly jubilant and consummate in artistry. Acoustic Sounds Series features all-analog, remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
