Info for Exclusively for My Friends: My Favorite Instrument, Vol. IV (Live)
Oscar Peterson recorded a remarkable amount of albums during his career but, surprisingly, this was his first full record of unaccompanied piano solos. Some observers consider his MPS recordings to be his best (quite a few are collected in the four-album reissue Exclusively for My Friends, including this one). The solo album features Peterson (freed from the constraints of his trio) stretching out on nine familiar standards and really tearing into a few of them, including 'Perdido,' 'Bye Bye Blackbird,' 'Lulu's Back in Town,' while giving 'Little Girl Blue' a beautiful and lyrical treatment. A prelude to his outstanding Pablo recordings, My Favorite Instrument is one of Peterson's top albums of the 1960s.“ (Scott Yanow)
