The journey of PURE SOUND – Master Recordings begins with a landmark in jazz history: We Get Requests by the Oscar Peterson Trio. Recorded 1964 in New York City on October 19th /20th, and November 19th, this is truly a landmark recording of the genre. It features Oscar Peterson’s unmistakable piano skills and inherent musicianship, Ray Brown’s double bass presence, and Ed Thigpen’s subtle yet dynamic drumming. The trio achieves a flawless blend of rhythm, subtlety and technical brilliance, seamlessly weaving bossa nova influences of the era with the trio’s signature jazz swing, showcasing their extraordinary ability to inject familiar styles with fresh energy and creative sophistication.

Each track on the album highlights the musicians’ remarkable synergy. Peterson’s inventive phrasing, Brown’s creative basslines, and Thigpen’s nuanced rhythms create a vibrant and deeply engaging sound that is uniquely theirs. From the smooth intimacy of "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" to the lively playfulness of "Have You Met Miss Jones?," each performance evokes a distinct mood while maintaining astonishing musical cohesion. Peterson’s interpretation of "The Girl from Ipanema" transforms this classic into a dynamic, laid-back exploration, while his original composition “D & E” demonstrates the trio’s improvisational mastery, skillfully balancing spontaneity with seamless connection.

The album also shines in its ballads, such as "My One and Only Love" and "Time and Again," where sensitivity to tone and emotion takes center stage. Every note feels deeply expressive, from Peterson’s sensitive piano lines to the rich, supportive foundation laid by Brown and Thigpen. The closing track, Goodbye J.D., offers a jubilant, lighthearted tribute that encapsulates both a joyful spirit and technical brilliance.
With PURE SOUND – Master Recordings, this iconic album is reborn in stunning clarity on lacquer. The reissue delivers every nuance, detail, and subtlety with such authenticity that it feels as though you’re in the studio, immersed in the trio’s brilliance.

Our lacquer records are made of high-quality acetate by MDC Limited in Japan and have a metal core covered with a delicate layer of glossy black lacquer. This particularly soft surface requires special care.

To ensure that we can enjoy this recording for a long time, we would like to give you a few care instructions along the way:

Care Instructions:

- Protect it from direct sunlight & dust
 

- Store it upright in its case in a cool & dry place
 

- Do not clean with a dry cloth or the hem of your shirt
 

- Never use liquids to clean your lacquer record
 

- Do not use cleaning fluids or solvents
 

- Always use a carbon fiber record cleaning brush to remove dust and any static build-up without damaging the surface.
 

- Do not wash in a record washing machine!

Treat your PURE SOUND Master Recordings with special care:

Please only touch the lacquer on the outer edges and avoid any contact with the playing surface. The natural oils of your skin can leave fine residues that can attract dust and have a subtle effect on the sound quality.

This recording is far more than an ordinary record - it is a fragile piece of sound history that should be treated with respect and care.

Each lacquer is a vulnerable testimony to the ephemeral art form. Lacquered records wear out over time through repeated playback. Enjoy them as special moments and preserve their unique sound.
