Jazz Compositions » "Bossa Beguine"

"Bossa Beguine" is a jazz composition written by the legendary pianist/composer Oscar Peterson. I couldn't find detailed information on web about when/where/how/etc. did Oscar Peterson composed this piece.

Probably it first appeared on the album: "Oscar Peterson - Blues Etude (PolyGram)." According to the liner notes of this album, track was recorded December 3, 1965 (Oscar Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on bass, Louis Hayes on drums) and published by Tomi Music Company (BMI).

Oscar Peterson's performance of "Bossa Beguine", quoted from "Verve Jazz Masters 16: Oscar Peterson" (see below)

Also in the liner notes of the album "Verve Jazz Masters 16: Oscar Peterson (PolyGram/Verve)"; David Dunn describes the piece as: "(Louis) Hayes is also heard on a track from five months earlier with bassist Brown, titled Bossa Beguine. Oscar's mutant bossa-nova starts out on one side of the street and ends up on the other.", written on June, 1993.
