Analysis
- "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.
