Trumpeter Clark Terry joins in for the Peterson original \"Roundalay\" and a spirited \"Mack the Knife.\" There's one other O.P. composition, the pensive \"Wheatland,\" with the rest being a solid fare of standards, ballads, and blues. You expect Peterson to cut loose once in a while, and he does on a rip-roaring take of \"If I Were a Bell.\" A compacted slice of his huge discography for sure -- there are larger collections from this mid-'60s time frame, and better single albums -- but these are good picks during what was a fruitful period for the great Canadian jazzman. ~ Michael G.
