Absolutely Essential

GibbyTheMole

This is one of the single greatest jazz albums you can own, in my opinion. (I actually own this on vinyl.) The playing is uniformly brilliant from all the musicians involved, and Oscar's piano prowess is dazzling. The :30 samples don't give you enough of a taste to make an accurate judgement, but take my word for it. If you're a fan of jazz, you really, really need this record. The sonics (at least on my LP) are astoundingly good, too.

For this trio set with bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Terry Clarke, the great pianist Oscar Peterson (appearing at the 1981 Montreux Jazz Festival) performs a medley of “Misty” and “Waltz for Debby,” three standards, his own “Cakewalk” and the debut of “Nigerian Marketplace,” the first section of an extended suite not yet completed at the time. This is a well-rounded set (reissued on CD) that finds the remarkable Oscar Peterson in typically swinging and prime form. – Scott Yanow
