  The Jazz Soul of Oscar Peterson is a 1959 album by the Oscar Peterson Trio, described by AllMusic as "a swinging, straight-ahead affair featuring superb playing throughout."
  
  The 1996 Verve CD reissue of the album (and many subsequent digital releases) includes the 1962 Oscar Peterson Trio album Affinity in its entirety. Alternately, some reissues instead include the entirety of the 1961 album Very Tall.
