When Nat "King" Cole was thrilling audience after audience with his great trio, Oscar Moore was an integral part and if money is any barometer of success he was on the top step as he was one of the highest paid sidemen in the music business. Winner also of top awards in the Downbeat, Metronome and Esquire jazz polls Oscar was and is one of the greatest guitar players in the business.
This statement is an understatement to what I have witness with my ears and what I felt with my heart. I stumbled across this album just today and when I saw it, I needed to have it. I've been on a jazz kick since starting this blog and it has made me appreciate the not so famous musicians that I've discovered since then. There is nothing like a great jazz record that can put your body and mind in a relaxing state and after listening to this, I fell in love. In love with the sound and the feeling and just everything about this record. It's a sign and I will never pass up the opportunity again, when I come across a record that looks interesting, yet I've never heard of the artist.
Enjoy!
