Ain’t But a Few of Us Left is an album by jazz musicians Milt Jackson and Oscar Peterson, released in 1981.

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow:
Despite the pessimistic title, all of the members of this particular quartet (vibraphonist Milt Jackson, pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Grady Tate) were still active into the mid-’90s. The music is unsurprising but still quite enjoyable and virtuosic as Bags and Co. perform blues, standards and ballads with their usual swing and bop-based creativity. Highlights include the title cut, “Stuffy,” “What Am I Here For” and a vibes-piano duo version of “A Time for Love.” (http://www.allmusic.com/album/aint-but-a-few-of-us-left-mw0000649575).
