Oscar Peterson • Night Train

Review by Scott Yanow

Although the repertoire on this CD reissue by the Oscar Peterson Trio (with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen) is fairly typical (with such veteran standards as "C Jam Blues," "Bags' Groove," "Easy Does It" and "I Got It Bad"), Peterson and his sidemen sound fairly inspired. Actually the highpoints are the final two selections: Duke Ellington's "Band Call" and the original version of O.P.'s "Hymn to Freedom." This CD gives one a definitive look at the 1960s Oscar Peterson Trio.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Aunque el repertorio de este CD reeditado por el trío Oscar Peterson (con el bajista Ray Brown y el baterista Ed Thigpen) es bastante típico (con estándares tan veteranos como "C Jam Blues", "Bags' Groove", "Easy Does It" y "I Got It Bad"), Peterson y sus acompañantes suenan bastante inspirados. En realidad, los puntos culminantes son las dos últimas selecciones: "Band Call" de Duke Ellington y la versión original de "Hymn to Freedom" de O.P. Este CD da una mirada definitiva al trío de Oscar Peterson de los años sesenta.
