Veteran musicians at the peak of their maturity...........2004-06-10

playing in a setting of a relaxed "get-together" of old friends!

Be it the blues or the exquisitely beautiful ballad medley, we're hearing the best of both worlds!!.....when the Oscar Peterson Trio had a guitarist and later when it had a drummer.

The empathy and interplay by the musicians heard on this recording can only result from the years of experience of having played together.This is one of the best of Oscar's later albums! I don't think there's any doubt of that since it won two grammys in 1990, for Jazz Instrumental Soloist and for Jazz Instrumental Small Group.

This is a welcome addition to anyone's jazz collection!

One of Peterson's Best.......2004-02-16

Age hasn't made a dent on any of the players in this incredible recording, which includes the already famous combination of Ray Brown and Oscar Peterson. This album is about as good as it gets.

Last Chance.......2003-08-18

This is perhaps as good an outing as any by an Oscar-led combo post-1970. A comparison of this recording with live sessions made 6-7 years later will confirm that the earlier date was one of the last times Oscar's chops were as responsive as his spirit was willing. No small amount of the session's success is due to the rock-solid percussion work of Bobby Durham, one of the few drummers capable of keeping up with Oscar and Ray. One of the highlights is the unaccompanied, pyrotechnical exchange between Peterson and Ellis on "Sweet Georgia" (Oscar wins, but Herb counterpunches with surprising virtuosity).

Young at heart.......2000-11-12

This CD is a fine example of the live electricity of these masters. The night at the Blue Note was the culmination of a reuniting of these masters for a 2 week tour of Japan. Listening, you feel like you're there. Oscar's technique is fantastic as ever, the ideas cascade contantly. The next night is also on CD, not a note is left out nor should be missed. The tender songs pull at your heart, the blues swing you right out of your chair.
