Very nice Serge. If you haven’t heard them, there are several other “Oscar Peterson Plays...” - I particularly like the Gershwin.

Oscar Peterson song books: I believe there are 10 total? I created a separate Roon folder for his song books. Because that is what a disciplined "Roonian" does

There is a 5 CD, digitally remastered set available on Verve label.

Love the "album art" on all the albums as well.

Jerome Kern
Duke Ellington
Richard Rogers
Vincent Youmans
Irving Berlin
Harry Warren
Jimmy McHugh
George Gershwin
Cole Porter
Harold Arlen

New (to me) discovery. I liked the album.

French label "Laborie Jazz"

Shai Maestro.


Shai Maestro began playing classical piano at age five and graduated from the Thelma Yellin High School of Performing Arts in Givataim, Israel. After winning the National Jazz Ensembles Competition Jazz Signs in 2002 and 2003 and receiving scholarships from 2004 to 2010 from the America-Israel Cultural Fund for jazz piano, he attended Berklee College of Music's Five-Week Summer Performance Program in Boston, where he was awarded a scholarship to attend Berklee, an offer he declined.

A few weeks later, bassist Avishai Cohen invited him to join his trio with drummer Mark Guiliana. He recorded four albums with the Avishai Cohen Trio, including two for Blue Note: Gently Disturbed (2008), Sensitive Hours (2008), Aurora (2009), and Seven Seas (2011). He toured with the trio.

In July 2010, Maestro formed a trio and recorded Shai Maestro Trio for the French label Laborie Jazz. The trio toured around the world, playing up to 80 concerts a year and sharing stages with groups led by Chick Corea, Tigran Hamasyan, Esperanza Spalding, and Diana Krall.
