Night Train

By making this album available at such a special price, Amazon got me to listen to a new group with a great historical reputation. Now I'll be looking for more classic jazz. I got hooked.

I was virtually unfamiliar with Oscar Peterson until Amazon made this album their MP3 Daily Deal. After hearing the clips, I had to buy it! Not since Art Tatum, have I heard a jazz pianist with such original movement and phrasing.

At times, he is almost minimalistic, playing a single note ("Duke's Place" melody on "C-Jam Blues"), then he jumps into some virtuosic rifts that will blow the mind of anyone who understands what he's doing.

The swing on every track is so natural and beautiful, that you almost forget that it's "irregular". The song selection is great. I adore this album!

One of the greatest trios in jazz history. Their improvisations are almost unbelievable. It blows me away every time I play it and that is often.

Oscar simply was the best jazz pianist I had the pleasure of hearing and meeting. Thank goodness these recordings will last forever so generations of new born jazz fans will be able to enjoy the master of the piano. Simply the best! Gary Farr, Sky.fm radio host Solo Piano Channel

One of the truly great jazz pianists. A great mood leveler when you are stressed out.
