Oscar Peterson rarity or...

**wallace** · 01-02-2006, 08:07 PM

...likely nowt.

Today Wallace found a plain white 45 with someone's writing on it: "Oscar Peterson 9:20 Special". Other side plays blank.

Sure sounds like the cool pianojazz of Oscar's.

Anyone?

**Hayes** · 02-02-2006, 09:40 AM

no idea.. any chance of mp3'ing it?

**jakartajive** · 02-02-2006, 10:23 AM

Jakartajive can offer no help on this, but Jakartajive just wanted to let Wallace know that Wallace's unending use of the third person to refer to Wallace is both highly entertaining and ever so slightly disturbed.

Jakartajive suspects Wallace may well really not be called Wallace - as Jakartajive is indeed known by another name in the planes of normality - and could perhaps be a Nigel?

**peretti** · 02-02-2006, 10:49 AM

Nige, 9:20 Special is a well known Peterson tune and appears on a couple of LPs. Peretti isn't sure why it would be on a 45 although it's possible it was some sort of test pressing or promo from the Prestige series - not sure that Peretti has ever come across that tune as a single but several 10"s and 7"s were put out under Peterson's name.

Jakartajive thinks this third-person business could run and run and feels sure Peretti must agree!

the real hayes has seen this run and run before, and many did agree..

the real hayes would also like it to be known that he does not wish to disrespect wallace

Jakartajive would also like to put on record the fact that there is no beef betwixt Jakartajive and Wallace also.

Wallace has yet to come up with a reasonable explanation for his unceasing use of the third person but Peretti kind of likes it and continues to respond in kind.

**kirkatron** · 02-02-2006, 01:03 PM

As far as appearing on a 7", Kirkatron could only find evidence of this E.P called :

Verve Showcase of Stars - Verve V-5047

Oscar Peterson - 9.20 Special
Ella & Louis - Can't we be friends
Dizzy Gillespie - Doodlin'
Count Basie - April in Paris

Maybe someone was trying to fool the rare groove mob?

to be fair, you're making yourself a pretty easy target with this sort of nonsense...and i don't think anyone on here means any great disrespect, it's just that it does get a little irritating....

**bongolia** · 02-02-2006, 05:58 PM

Prince was never in The Eagles?
