Our Take

OSCAR PETERSON Three Classic Albums Plus is a musical journey that will have you tapping your feet and snapping your fingers in no time. With Peterson's virtuosic piano skills taking center stage, this compilation is a must-listen for jazz aficionados and newcomers alike.

The first album, "Night Train," is a smooth and sultry ride through some classic standards. Peterson's touch is effortless and his improvisational skills are second to none. From the title track to the swinging "C Jam Blues," this album is a masterclass in jazz piano.

Next up is "The Trio," a collection of lively and energetic tracks that showcase Peterson's impeccable timing and dynamic range. The interplay between Peterson, Ray Brown on bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums is simply electric, with each musician pushing the others to new heights.

Rounding out the trio of albums is "We Get Requests," a more laid-back affair that allows Peterson to showcase his versatility as a musician. From the bossa nova-tinged "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars" to the soulful "Days of Wine and Roses," this album is a testament to Peterson's ability to make any tune his own.

In conclusion, OSCAR PETERSON Three Classic Albums Plus is a treasure trove of musical delights that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or just dipping your toes into the genre, this compilation is sure to please. So sit back, relax, and let the music of Oscar Peterson whisk you away to a world of pure musical magic.
