Oscar Peterson & Izhak Perlman: Side By Side (1994)

Side By Side is a fun session, lush with sweet ballads and swinging tempos. Peterson's long-time musical friends and sidemen from the original Oscar Peterson Trio, Herb Ellis (guitar) and Ray Brown (bass), joined by drummer Grady Tate, provide foundation for the distinctive, converging stylings of Peterson and Perlman to yield a "chamber-jazz session with many highlights."
