Secret love (Oscar Peterson) (LP 282)

Oscar Peterson The Trio (Vinyl - Pablo, 1974) ****

Genre: Jazz  

Places I remember: Chaldon Books and Records  


Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Blues Etude (sounds like Coltrane's frenetic blast during Chasing The 'Trane, but on piano)





Gear costume: Come Sunday

Active compensatory factors: While working at Marbecks Records in the late seventies, shipments of records from Pablo came in, in large quantities.


All were recording brilliantly, all used iconic black and white photos on the covers.

Knowing dad was a jazz fan I bought a few Oscar Peterson, Errol Garner, Duke Ellington titles for him. Although, not this featured Peterson album.

He would have really appreciated the dexterity on display her. Peterson is in breath taking form and displays his talents over a range of jazz styles.

Where do they all belong? He was extremely prolific, but the Pablo material is all top notch.
