Oscar Peterson's "The Will to Swing" is a must-have for every jazz lover's CD collection, yet surprisingly few people seem to know about it. A chronological compilation of Peterson performances from 1949 through 1971, this album showcases one of the all-time great jazz pianists. Peterson is quick, he's talented, he's definitely a master but he's so relaxed and so affable that none of the performances come across as contrived or forced. There are lots of songs here you'll recognize, "Fascinating Rhythm," "Tenderly," "I've Got a Crush On You" and more, but the gems tend to be those that aren't so familiar…..
