One could accuse Oscar Peterson of playing too many notes, as the King said to Mozart, but banging? He has a very delicate touch. Busy, but delicate.
Listen to Oscar Peterson's "We Get Requests."
Other pleasant recordings to try:
Bill Evans "Sunday at the Vanguard"
Getz/Gilberto
Stanley Turrentine "Blue Hour"
Charlie Haden/Hank Jones "Steal Away"
Cyrus Chestnut "Blessed Quietness"
Stan Getz "The Essential:" Verve
