Analysis[edit]
- 'Give Me the Simple Life' starts the album with a [block chord] technique.
- 'Basin Street Blues' is a slow stride addition to the album
- 'Honeysuckle Rose' utilizes an up-tempo rendition of the original song
- 'Dancing on the Ceiling' is the second slow-stride addition to the album,
- 'A Child Is Born' is a slow ballade-style setting, stating the melody, then improvising slightly on that melody.
- If I Should Lose You' the improvisation is approached in a similar way to Basin Street Blues
- 'A Little Jazz Exercise' is the only original composition by Oscar Peterson. It is similar in structure to the 'I've Got Rhythm' chord changes.
- 'Django' begins very close to the original version, and veers off into a Db improvisation
- 'Ja-Da' continues the slow stride technique started by track #1, 4, & 6
- 'Just a Gigolo another slow stride interpretation.
