The sessions span the mid-to-late 1960s and capture a changeover in his trio: Sam Jones takes most of the bass duties, Bobby Durham and Louis Hayes share the drum chair, and Ray Brown returns for one track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track, \"Girl Talk,\" has an almost soulful lilt, Peterson leaning into the melody like he's telling a good story. \"On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever)\" bursts out of the gate with dazzling, two-fisted confidence, while \"I'm in the Mood for Love\" unfolds over roughly seventeen minutes, opening with a rhapsodic solo introduction before the rhythm section slips in almost unnoticed. \"Robbin's Nest\" closes with a swinging, fiery send-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe warm, close MPS sound makes this a joy on vinyl, every touch of the keys right there in the room. It's Peterson at ease and at full power at the same time, a rare combination worth savouring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761804968226,"sku":"4029759197898","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Oscar_Peterson-Girl_Talk_Exclusively_for_My_Friends_Vol._2.jpg?v=1794309565","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/oscar-peterson-girl-talk-exclusively-for-my-friends-vol-2","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
