Oscar Peterson • The Oscar Peterson Trio Plays



Of all Oscar's Peterson's great recordings -- and there are many -- this has a special flavor. It is Oscar being intimate, as in a lounge setting, and commanding the material as if the world was listening. Imagine yourself having a night on the town in 1964, laughing and feeling good, and as luck would have it you and your friends have the rare privelege to be in a club where the young Oscar Peterson and his trio are playing and having a good time. That's the feeling, the mood, of the whole set. A party, with great music and good times. At once blazing with unrestrained, joyful energy an at the same time sensitive and filled with emotion, Oscar shows his oceans-wide range and Everest-high skill. The party starts with Oscar's piece The Strut, which does exactly that. Then he embellishes Let's Fall in Love and Satin Doll with the greatest of ease, taste and wit, followed by the toe-tapping Little Right Foot. He soars through the rest of the material in similar style, and ends with an infectiously rhythmic take on You Stepped Out of a Dream.

De todas las grandes grabaciones de Peterson de Oscar, y hay muchas, ésta tiene un sabor especial. Es Oscar siendo íntimo, como en una sala de estar, y comandando el material como si el mundo estuviera escuchando. Imagínate pasando una noche en la ciudad en 1964, riendo y sintiéndote bien, y como la suerte quiso que tú y tus amigos tuvieran el raro privilegio de estar en un club donde el joven Oscar Peterson y su trío están tocando y pasándolo bien. Esa es la sensación, el estado de ánimo, de todo el conjunto. Una fiesta, con buena música y buenos momentos. A la vez que arde con una energía desenfrenada y alegre y, al mismo tiempo, sensible y llena de emoción, Oscar muestra su alcance oceánico y su destreza en el Everest. La fiesta comienza con la pieza de Oscar The Strut, que hace exactamente eso. Luego embellece Let's Fall in Love y Satin Doll con la mayor facilidad, gusto e ingenio, seguidos por el Pequeño Pie Derecho. Se eleva a través del resto del material en un estilo similar, y termina con una toma contagiosamente rítmica de You Stepped Out of a Dream (Saliste de un Sueño).
