"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.
"Django" begins very close to the original version, and veers off into a Db improvisation
"Ja-Da" continues the slow stride technique started by track #1, 4, & 6
