专辑介绍

by Ken Dryden

This live set from the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival features the Oscar Peterson Trio and a few special guests. The first side of the record is exclusively devoted to the trio, kicking off with a lively take of &Will You Still Be Mine?& Peterson salutes Clifford Brown (who died in an automobile accident the previous year) by playing the late trumpeter's &Joy Spring& (while oddly introducing it as &Joyous Spring&), but taking it at a more leisurely ballad tempo. Both Herb Ellis and Ray Brown comes to the forefront in &Gal From Calico.& The group is expanded to a sextet with the addition of Sonny Stitt, Roy Eldridge, and Jo Jones on side two. Stitt and Eldridge collaborated to create the powerful &Monitor Blues& (which is full of Eldridge's high-note theatrics) and the blazing finale &Roy's Son.& The trumpeter's individual feature with the rhythm section is a blues-drenched rendition of &Willow Weep for Me,& while the tenor saxophonist takes his place on an inspired romp through &Autumn in New York.& Although this excellent Verve LP was reissued on at least one occasional during the vinyl era, it has yet to appear on CD.
