Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

Recorded in the summer of 1961 at the London House in Chicago, Peterson's favourite club, this has long been celebrated as one of the finest sessions of his career. The band is, in fact, Peterson's second trio: the world's greatest rhythm bassist, the ever-faithful Ray Brown, is still in residence and drummer Ed Thigpen plays in place of guitarist Herb Ellis. Hearing the Oscar Peterson Trio in full flight is an awesome experience. The swing is so intense, the interplay among the three players so tight, the sheer energy level so high, that it is impossible to imagine three musicians functioning more perfectly together. This CD contains all five original LP tracks, plus a further five from an earlier CD release, making it particularly good value. --Dave Gelly

The best... (2004-01-08)

Definately the best live recording of a jazz trio. The best verion/performance/recording of "On Green Dolphin Street." Thigpen's drumming is superb, Ray Brown's Bass is equal. But the SOUND QUALITY of this CD is unparrelled.

trio sound causes strange bodily reactions, film at eleven (2002-05-02)

I can't explain it--this recording literaly makes me salivate, as if I were thinking of a sumptuous meal or a great red wine. I also bounce my feet, bob and swing my head, smile stupidly, and dream of swinging like this trio. 'nuff said.

Excellent (2002-02-08)

This is one of Oscar's favorite albums. I heard him say so on an interview. It's great music. Be prepared to hear some humming in the background - Oscar is singing along as he creates his masterpieces.

his greatest jazz album (2000-06-03)

It is one of the first jazz albums I ever bought and I never stopped loving it.His sound is so natural and swinging that it never stopped amasing me.I bought it again in 1978 at the North Sea Jazz Festival because the first was too old. I am excited to be able to buy it al last on CD. one of his very best albums
