The President Plays With The Oscar Peterson Trio by Pres (2).
When a titan of the tenor saxophone sits down with a rhythm section this sharp, the result is a conversation that swings from the very first bar. "The President Plays With The Oscar Peterson Trio," credited here to Pres, gathers that meeting on a single, beautifully sequenced vinyl LP, a set that lets Lester Young stretch out across standards and blues alike in the company of a trio built for precision and drive.
Side A opens with "Ad Lib Blues," a loose, blues-drenched showcase that gives everyone room to breathe before the program tightens up. From there the mood turns brisk with "Just You, Just Me," and then settles into the endlessly reinvented "Tea For Two," a chestnut that has invited countless improvisers to reimagine its familiar contours. It is a first side that balances the earthy and the elegant, the kind of pacing that rewards playing the record straight through.
Turn it over and the momentum only builds. "Indiana" kicks off Side B with the sort of forward-leaning energy that has long made it a jam session favorite, followed by the wistful ballad "I Can't Get Started" and the bright, buoyant "On The Sunny Side Of The Street." The closing stretch pairs "Almost Like Being In Love" with "There Will Never Be Another You," a finale that leans into melodic warmth and sends the listener off on a high note.
This is a reissue that respects its heritage while bringing the music firmly into the present. It carries the original catalog number MGV-8144 on the jacket, alongside the modern catalog number 00602577089992 printed on the back cover and the labels. The publishing credits read like a tour through mid-century songwriting institutions, from JATAP Pub. Co. on "Ad Lib Blues" and Robbins Music Corp. on "Just You, Just Me" to Harms, Inc., Shapiro-Bernstein & Co., Chappell & Co., Sam Fox Pub. Co., and Mayfair Music Corp. spread across the two sides.
The pressing bears a ℗ 1959 Verve Label Group notice with a © 2019 Verve Label Group copyright, marking it as a contemporary edition of a classic Verve catalog title. A Vital Vinyl sticker on the front cover flags it as part of that reissue program, the kind of detail collectors keep an eye out for.
For anyone drawn to Lester Young's unmistakable phrasing and the interplay of a first-rate trio, this record offers a generous helping of both. It is a natural fit for a jazz shelf that prizes the great Verve sessions, and an easy recommendation to fans who like their standards played with wit, warmth, and swing.
