The album offers a refined selection of standards delivered with the assured interplay that defined the Peterson\/Brown\/Thigpen trio. Peterson’s first recorded take on the Bill Evans classic ‘Waltz For Debby’ is a lyrical, nuanced performance — and ‘Gravy Waltz’, co-written by Ray Brown, showcases the trio’s rhythmic drive and subtle groove. As a whole, Affinity is a tasteful, well-crafted example of Peterson’s work in the early 1960s — a strong trio recording that reflects his continued commitment to swing, subtlety, and ensemble balance, making it a valuable piece for any serious jazz collection.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eVerve’s Acoustic Sounds Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eSide 1\u003cbr\u003eWaltz For Debbie\u003cbr\u003eTangerine\u003cbr\u003eGravy Waltz\u003cbr\u003eThis Could Be The Start Of Something\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSide 2\u003cbr\u003eBaubles, Bangles And Beads\u003cbr\u003eSix And Four\u003cbr\u003eI'm A Fool To Want You\u003cbr\u003eYours Is My Heart Alone\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45911541350556,"sku":"7828214","price":38.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/OPT_AFFINITY_PROD_SHOT.jpg?v=1767958442","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/oscar-peterson-affinity-acoustic-sounds","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
