Oscar Peterson Trio • The Sound of the Trio

Review

Those who consider themselves Oscar Peterson completists should be aware of The London House Sessions, a generous five-LP set that focuses exclusively on the Peterson Trio's 1961 engagement at Chicago's London House. However, completists are the only ones who would want to invest in this collection; others would be better off with individual LPs of the pianist's London House performances. One such LP is the Verve Master Edition of The Sound of the Trio, which was recorded in July 1961 and contains performances of "Tricotism," "On Green Dolphin Street," and "III Wind. Although not among Peterson's essential recordings -- you won't find a lot of surprises here -- the material is consistently enjoyable. Peterson, bassist Ray Brown, and drummer Ed Thigpen, clearly enjoy a strong rapport, and the trio never fails to swing.

Reseña

Quienes se consideren completistas de Oscar Peterson deben conocer The London House Sessions, un generoso conjunto de cinco LP que se centra exclusivamente en el compromiso del Trío Peterson en 1961 en la London House de Chicago. Sin embargo, los completistas son los únicos que querrían invertir en esta colección; otros estarían mejor con LPs individuales de las actuaciones del pianista en la London House. Uno de esos LP es la edición maestra de "The Sound of the Trio", que se grabó en julio de 1961 y contiene interpretaciones de "Tricotism", "On Green Dolphin Street" y "III Wind". Aunque no está entre las grabaciones esenciales de Peterson - no encontrarás muchas sorpresas aquí - el material es consistentemente agradable. Peterson, el bajista Ray Brown, y el baterista Ed Thigpen, claramente disfrutan de una fuerte compenetración, y el trío nunca falla en el swing.
