Catalogue Note

WE HAVE NO RECORD OF AUTOGRAPH MUSIC MANUSCRIPTS BY PETERSON HAVING BEEN SOLD AT AUCTION. This is the lead sheet for a song recorded by The Oscar Peterson Trio in 1964 and released as the first track on the album, The Oscar Peterson Trio Plays. This was also the only Peterson composition on the album. Also noted on the lead sheet are the places where an 'answer' is made to the statement of melody.
