Trio

Oscar Peterson always held very high standards, when it came to his own performance and those of his co-musicians, and The O.P./Joe Pass/Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen must be his best trio ever.The length of the 5 tracks on this CD gives the musicians time to "stretch-out" solo-wise with the emphasis on blues, and as usual the opening track "Blues Etude" is delivered in a supersonic speed, whereas "Chicago Blues" and "Easy listening blues" are easy going 12 bar blues with the latter as the best one.Jose Pass has a beautiful solo on "Sunday", and finally the trio swings out in "Secret love", and the organic pulse of NHOP's bass is just great.A wonderful CD (incidentally the track and playing time of "Secret love" is not, as printed, 10:19, but 7:16).

Excellent!!!

Very good

Any Peterson fan must have this in their collection.

London House à Chicago en 1973 , Oscar joue le blues en trio avec Joe Pass à la guitare et NHOP à la contrebasse. Les trois musiciens sont en verve comme le démontre Joe Pass dès le premier morceau ou sur "Come Sunday". L'album à reçu en 1975 un Grammy awards pour "The Best Jazz Performance by a Group". Très bon mais dommage trop court (38 mn) . On en profitera pour réécouter les  sessions   d'Oscar  douze ans plus tôt dans le même club. sessionsd'Oscar
