Customer Reviews:

A stunning album.......2004-07-30

I have been listening to this album for decades and it remains one of my favourite Oscar Peterson albums.
Primarily this is a blues based album, but its the blues played like few others could. Chicago Blues for example is 13mins of genius. This is virtuoso playing, showing that Oscar is/was a blues player without equal at the time of this recording. Miles Davis was never more wrong when he said that Oscar sounded as though he had learnt to play the blues. As previous reviewers have said Blues Etude (the opening track) will blow you away, its an amazing performance, but the remaining tracks are nearly as good, if not at the same frantic tempo!

check out blues etude!.......2004-03-16

The first track, "Blues Etude" is just amazing--I've never heard anything else quite like it. Oscar is roaring (literally), playing with tremendous power, speed, and passion. The rest of the album is good, but anti-climactic. By the way, the I don't know which record the sample tracks listed above (as of this date) are actually on, but they are not the tracks found on "The Trio."

Oscar really cooks!.......2002-07-07

Got turned on to this recording recently by a friend. Very "blues-y" selections, and Oscar's piano solo on "Blues Etude" will blow you away! A "must have" for fans of Oscar Peterson!
