Recorded at McClear Place Studios and Manta Sound Studios, Toronto, Canada, January 28, 29 and February 19, 1980. Includes original release liner notes by Norman Granz and Oscar Peterson. Digitally remastered by Joe Tarantino (1988, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Oscar Peterson (piano). Recording information: 01/28/1980-02/19/1980. Unknown Contributor Roles: Clark Terry; Dave Young; Ed Bickert; Jerry Fuller; Peter Leitch. This is a somewhat unusual Oscar Peterson record in a number of ways. Peterson (along with flugelhornist Clark Terry, bassist Dave Young, drummer Jerry Fuller, and either Peter Leitch or Ed Bickert on guitar) performs 13 songs either written or popularized by Canadians. In addition he sings the majority of the tunes in his Nat King Cole-influenced voice and contributes two new songs of his own. The repertoire includes some familiar standards ("Some of These Days," "I'll Never Smile Again," "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," and "Sweethearts on Parade"), jazz versions of a few pop tunes (including "Spinning Wheel"), and a few obscurities. ~ Scott Yanow
