    These massive songbook sessions weren’t Peterson’s (or Granz’s) first forays into this territory. In fact, the pianist had already made extensive recordings of several composers during the period of 1952 to 1954, when his regular group consisted of Ray Brown on bass and Barney Kessel (later Herb Ellis) on guitar. During another set of marathon sessions that took place in November and December 1952, they waxed numerous compositions by the Gershwin brothers, Duke Ellington, Cole Porter, and Irving Berlin (the exact dates are unknown but many discographies claim that all of the Porter titles were taped on November 25, while the others were supposedly made between November 1 and December 4, 1952). Some of the Irving Berlin songs that were taped on that occasion but not recorded again in 1959 have been added here as a bonus.
