Analysis edit

  1. "Give Me the Simple Life" starts the album with a [block chord] technique.
  2. "Basin Street Blues" is a slow stride addition to the album
  3. "Honeysuckle Rose" utilizes an up-tempo rendition of the original song
  4. "Dancing on the Ceiling" is the second slow-stride addition to the album,
  5. "A Child Is Born" is a slow ballade-style setting, stating the melody, then improvising slightly on that melody.
  6. If I Should Lose You" the improvisation is approached in a similar way to Basin Street Blues
  7. "A Little Jazz Exercise" is the only original composition by Oscar Peterson. It is based on the standard "I Want To Be Happy" (Irving Caesar- Vincent Youmans) chord changes.
  8. "Django" begins very close to the original version, and veers off into a Db improvisation
  9. "Ja-Da" continues the slow stride technique started by track #1, 4, & 6
  10. "Just a Gigolo another slow stride interpretation.
