Count Basie and Oscar Peterson

[Ed]

Many years ago -- long before the collaborations on Pablo -- a friend played
me a couple of tracks recorded in the 1950s (?) by Count Basie on organ and
Oscar Peterson on piano. I'd be grateful if anyone could supply some
details.

Thanks.

They recorded two albums: Satch & Josh and Satch & Josh Again. Both are
currently available on Amazon. Note that Basie doesn't play the organ on
all tracks.

And now for something completely different...

Thanks, but I was referring to at least two tracks that were recorded many
years before this,

Ed,

Oscar sat in with the Basie band in July of 1952. They recorded three tunes,
on one of which Oscar plays organ! Basie plays mostly organ but is on piano
as well for one number.

These tunes are on the pricey Mosaic set, "The Complete Clef/Verve Count
Basie Fifties Studio Recordings." They are probably on some single reissue
as well but that would take some investigation, These tunes were issued by
Verve in several LP configurations.
