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."[3]

The 1996 Verve CD reissue of the album (and many subsequent digital releases) includes the 1962 Oscar Peterson Trio album Affinity in its entirety.[1] Alternately, some reissues instead include the entirety of the 1961 album Very Tall.[4]
