Night Train Oscar Peterson Trio Artist

Although the repertoire on this CD reissue by the {|Oscar Peterson|} Trio (with bassist {|Ray Brown|} and drummer {|Ed Thigpen|}) is fairly typical (with such veteran standards as {|C Jam Blues,|} Bags' Groove, Easy Does It and I Got It Bad), {|Peterson|} and his sidemen sound fairly inspired. Actually the highpoints are the final two selections: {|Duke Ellington|}'s Band Call and the original version of {|O.P.'s|} Hymn to Freedom. This CD gives one a definitive look at the 1960s {|Oscar Peterson|} Trio. ~ Scott Yanow
