Vintage Trio

(5 out of 5 stars)
"Granted, Oscar Peterson might be one of the most recorded jazz musicians ever (thanks to Norman Granz), but that shouldn't diminish each effort and this one is no exception. Recorded live on January 27th in 1960 at the Radio-Canada studios in Montreal, this set features 10 cuts, all standards (with one original blues) with a good mix of both swing and ballads. The Trio - Peterson, Thigpen and Brown - does its usual magic on gems like Sweet Georgia Brown and Let There Be Love. If you like OP, especially in the trio setting without guest artists, this is a tidy little session that you'll play over and over again. Highly recommended."
