My review

Level of familiarity before listening

I’ve never heard of Oscar Peterson at all.

What I expected

A lot of the song titles have references to the blues, so I’ll guess this is a blues album.

What it was actually like

This was not a blues album. It was a jazz album, and it was the kind of jazz that is not so arhythmic as to be intolerable, but was definitely not melodic, danceable and enjoyable. I would not recommend it.

Grade

2/5: weak, but I was able to listen to the whole thing
