Album Notes: Personnel: Oscar Peterson (piano); Ray Brown, Sam Jones (bass); Ed Thigpen, Bobby Durham, Louis Hayes (drums).
Album Reviews: Down Beat (3/93, p.43) - 5 Stars - Excellent - "...Peterson responded to the setting, hospitality, and intimacy with what he would later describe as the best recordings he had ever made...[he] controls his vast technique at all times...simply brilliant..."
Advantages: Fantastic album, range of pieces Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit expensive for a 30 year old album
.... A wonderful piece after the first two minutes of rather odd and fragmented changes!
07) A Little Jazz Exercise
The one original track on the album. This is OscarPeterson showing off to be honest. But boy he can play, so we'll allow him. Perhaps a little twee inplaces, but 'A Little Jazz Exercise' is good fun to listen to as Peterson plays with rhythms and melodies and moves his fingers at lightening speed.
08) Django
At this point the whole album slows up once more. Peterson plays with a far more mournful and bluesey lyrical style here and it makes a wonderful contrast to the comparatively trivial track before.
09) Ja-Da
With a similar tempo to 'Django', 'Ja-Da' turns the notes on their heads and presents a hopeful little tune. Not my favourite on the album, but that's not to say that it's a bad tune, just...

Advantages: plenty of them Disadvantages: not too many
...of Garry Peterson's finest drumming ever on a "The Guess Who" cut. At the middle, there's a nice slow bridge in wich they play the flute nicely. The number, 969, refers to the numbers of years lived by the oldest man documented in the bible.
Rate: 8/10
6. When friends fall out (Bachman, Cummings):
I love this song, another of my favourites of the album. Composed by Burton and Cummings inspired by Eric Clapton's "Cream" (particularly, the song "Sunshine of your love"). It's a slow song, but with a very good guitar solo at the middle, slow too, but very "heavy".
Rate: 9/10
7. 8:15 (Bachman, Cummings):
Rock song with pop second voices and bridge. The best thing of this song, for sure, is the drums bridge. There's Garry Peterson doing another great work. Very good drums in the song, during the whole song, but specially at the middle of it...

...wife
But don’t let anybody tell you how to live your life. Broken pieces.”
Once this track gets its hooks into you it won’t let go – beware!! Worth the price of the CD…
*2. Stealing Rosemary ***** 3:32
Written by Debbi Peterson, Vicki Peterson & Susanna Hoffs
Main Voice: VICKI
This is a somewhat more a folksy influenced song backed with chiming guitars and an insistent drum and percussion line. Goes well with the Parsley, Sage and Thyme.
*3. Something That You Said ***** 4:34
Written by Susanna Hoffs, Vicki Peterson & Charlotte Caffey
Main Voice: SUSANNA. This has also released as a single.
Here comes that sultry, slightly husky, wrap-you-around-my-little-finger, come hither voice again backed by the girls in effortless harmony. Susanna shows her full vocal range on this slower rock ballad with an almost flawless opus.
