Our Take

Time to hop on the Night Train with jazz legend Oscar Peterson. This reissue from Acoustic Sounds transports listeners back to 1962, a time when jazz was king and Peterson was its crown prince.

From the opening track, "Hymn to Freedom," Peterson's virtuosity on the keys is on full display. His seamless blend of bebop and blues creates a train ride of musical emotions, taking us on a journey through time and space.

Tracks like "C Jam Blues" and "Georgia on My Mind" showcase Peterson's impeccable technique and ability to make the piano sing with soulful expression. Each note is meticulously crafted, each chord played with precision and passion.

The album's title track, "Night Train," is a tour de force of swinging rhythms and infectious melodies. Peterson's fingers dance across the keys with effortless grace, making it impossible to keep still while listening.

Overall, Night Train is a timeless classic that proves why Oscar Peterson is considered one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. So grab a ticket, hop on board, and let the music take you on a one-way trip to pure musical bliss. All aboard!
