Album by Oscar Peterson & Joe Pass

Porgy and Bess is a studio album by Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, released in 1959. It presents jazz trio interpretations of themes from the Gershwin opera, showcasing Peterson's virtuosic piano technique, close ensemble interplay and a blend of swing, blues-inflected phrasing and lyrical improvisation that situates the record within his mid-career engagement with the American songbook and jazz adaptations of stage repertoire.
