| | Freedom Song - Oscar Peterson - Song Listings |
 | | If you're a serious jazz collector who has 50, 60, or more Oscar Peterson CDs in your collection, you can't help but be amazed by the pianist's consistent nature. |
 | | There are no dull or weak moments; the bop-oriented quartet soars on material that ranges from Walter Donaldson's "You Look Good to Me" and Charlie Parker's "Now's the Time" to Peterson's own "The Fallen Warrior," which he dedicates to South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela. |
 | | At the time, South Africa still had the deplorable apartheid system, and Mandela was still in prison -- back in 1982, we could only dream about a world in which he was president of South Africa, and countries like Russia, Hungary, and Poland had capitalist governments. |
