Oscar Peterson has thoroughly assimilated not just every piano style that preceded him buy every ensemble idiom as well: swinging big bands, gospel, European classical, and, of course, the blues. Having mastered all of this, Peterson found the standard piano trio the perfect vehicle for exploring all of these types of music.
In this classic LP, the crowning achievement in his greatest year, Peterson doesn't just explore these styles -- he conquers them. The well-known title track is presented here in an additional take, one of six previously unissued tracks. |
