Gilson Peranzzetta - Tributo a Oscar Peterson (2018)

Three months after releasing a live album in January with Ivan Lins, Cumplicidade, the pianist, composer and arranger from Rio de Janeiro, Gilson Peranzzetta already presents another album. Tribute to Oscar Peterson reaches the phonographic market in April by the same label, Fina Flor, who edited Peranzzetta's live album with Ivan.

As the title tribute to Oscar Peterson already makes explicit, Peranzzetta's solo CD celebrates the legacy of Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, a prodigious musician celebrated for dexterity and speed in piano playing.

Although the extensive discography of this exuberant technique pianist consists essentially of albums in which the musician prioritized the interpretation of others' works, Peterson was also a composer, eventually recording his own music throughout a phonographic work that reached peak production between the 1950s and 1970.
