The Oscar Peterson Trio – At Bakers Keyboard Lounge

Description

Recorded during a two-week engagement at Detroits Bakers Keyboard Lounge in August 1960, At Bakers Keyboard Lounge captures Oscar Peterson with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen at a creative high point. Originally intended as a live album for Verve Records, the performances remained unreleased until now. Taped on a single Friday night, the trio moves with remarkable unity, shifting effortlessly through tempos and arrangements while responding to one another with instinctive precision. These newly uncovered recordings present Oscar Peterson in his prime, leading a trio whose chemistry still feels electrifying. Available on CD and vinyl.
