Gear costume: Tour's End (with Oscar Peterson Trio)

Active compensatory factors: These 7 albums are collected (along with Cool Velvet which has already appeared on Goo Goo) on Eight Classic Albums. 

These multi album collections are a great way to catch up on long forgotten gems.

The Storyville and Oscar Peterson hook up albums are the cream of this crop. 

For Musicians Only features Dizzy Gillespie on trademark piercing trumpet which kind of ruins the laid back vibe for me. Plus there is another alto saxophonist (Sonny Stitt) on the set which seems redundant when Stan is around.

Those Storyville sets and the Peterson album feature Stan in primo form. He lays it down like no one else in the cool jazz sub-genre.

Where do they all belong? More to come from Stan the man!
