The President Plays with the Oscar Peterson Trio
Currently unavailable
This release presents the complete original 1952 album reuniting Lester and Oscar, plus some tunes from the same session originally issued separately and two bonus tracks with Lester and Oscar five years later. In addition to the superb music contained on these sessions, they also included two oddities: on "Two to Tango", Lester Young sings, and on one of the bonus tracks, "St. Tropez", he plays the clarinet.
