Bill Henderson's 1963 Studio Album Bill Henderson with The Oscar Peterson Trio: Newly Remastered from Original Analog Sources and Pressed on 180g LP at Third Man Pressing in Detroit as Part of the Verve By Request Series.

Bill Henderson may not have been a household name among jazz singers, but this 1963 release raises a valid point that maybe he should have been. Of course, taking on this mix of standards with the Oscar Peterson Trio – including Ed Thigpen (drums) and Ray Brown (bass), certainly could make a lesser talent look better. But Henderson matches the group’s ability and elevates classics like “All or Nothing At All,” and “You Are My Sunshine” with his own point of view. Verve By Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
