4 out of 5 stars Oscar Does it Again!.......2005-09-07

Wonderful CD from the wonders of jazz. Hey, that would be a good title for an album. Very mellow. Not exciting. Just mellow.

5 out of 5 stars Wow, This Is Something Else.......2004-02-25

Look, you are a jazz fan. You have made it to this page. Rest assured, this is one of the best trio albums you have ever heard. Piano: Sparkling, crisp, perfectly tuned. Guitar: Fluid, restrained, rapid-fire. Bass: The essence of timing and warmth.
Great playing, great recording, great value. Do not dally.

5 out of 5 stars That Is What I Call a Good Album!.......2003-11-16

This album is one of the best albums I ever had the privelage of listening to. It shows how jazz is not just the playing of music and then trading solos over the chord changes, but the communication between the musicians. There are points in the album where you can here Oscar Peterson hum out the solos, which shows he has them all planned out in his head. Ray brown does an amazing job of keeping the rhythm tight and the band together. Joe Pass is truly amazing, and his musical communication with Ray Brown and Oscar Peterson just goes to show how much talent a group can have. These three masters of their insturments came together excellently and I wish that there could be more albums like this.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorite Jazz albums of all time.......2003-07-20

My friend Joe gave me the Pablo LP of this recording back in 1977 as we graduated from high school. I was a classically trained pianist and he was trying to turn me on to jazz. He thought this album would be a good start. That turned out to be quite an understatement! This was one of my most favorite LP's, and when it was finally released in CD format I snatched it right up. I will never tire of listening to it. Oscar is definitely one of my idols. His talent is amazing. Thanks, Joe! ;-)
