Product Description

Amazon.ca

Un album du pianiste canadien Oscar Peterson, considéré comme l'un de ses chefs-d'oeuvre. On le retrouve dans sa formule fétiche du trio (en compagnie du batteur Ed Thigpen qui a succédé au guitariste Herb Ellis en 1958 et de son contrebassiste Ray Brown) pour une série de compositions aérées et acérées dans lesquelles s'intercalent d'heureuses reprises de Duke Ellington ou Count Basie. Peterson est leader et cela s'entend : l'architecture des compositions tourne autour des parties dynamiques de son jeu, caractérisé par un "swing" irrésistible. On lui a parfois reproché quelques "clichés" convenus dans sa pratique, mettant plus en oeuvre un sens du "drive" qu'une sensibilité réelle. Ses détracteurs doivent malgré tout convenir que Peterson menait son exécution avec une précision d'attaque et articulation proprement ahurissantes. Quant à la sensibilité, elle est ici réelle et palpable : le pianiste misait son jeu autant sur les harmonies que sur les mélodies. --Eric Frank

5.0 out of 5 stars THE Oscar Peterson Proverbial Desert Island CD! Jun 2 2004
By Michael Krohn
Format:Audio CD
Well, this is it! If I could only have ONE of the dozens of Oscar Peterson CDs to play on the proverbial desert island, THIS would be the one! Recorded in 1962.....post-Herb Ellis (guitar) era; Ed Thigpen (drum) era. So much pleasure, of course, to be heard from BOTH eras!....but this one tops 'em all for me. THE definitive versions (by any swinger!) of Georgia on My Mind, Moten Swing, Easy Does It, Things Ain't What They Used to Be, I Got It Bad (and That Ain't Good), and two I wasn't familiar with which I fell in love with: Band Call, and Hymn to Freedom. The chordal progressions alone are ear candy, and if your heart doesn't respond, call 911 ASAP!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the best Feb 8 2004
By Gontroppo
Format:Audio CD
Unlike many jazz piano lovers, I have never thought Oscar Peterson was showing off or playing too many notes, though I also love Count Basie, whose sparse playing goes in the opposite direction.

This album is wonderfully appealing and, could be a great place to start with Oscar if you aren't yet acquainted with his music.

I love every track [but only have the original CD], and appreciate the variety on the recording, from C Jam Blueswith its distinctive percussion and piano and double bass solos, to slow ballads like Hymn To Freedom and Things Ain't What They Used To Be through rollicking songs like Night Train and Moten Swing.
Another terrific album is Tracks, which is one of few solo recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peterson's Best Trio
Although Oscar Peterson has never failed to find the most astute accompanists, the trio of Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on double bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums rank supreme. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent cut
I own a number of Oscar Peterson albums (Tracks is one of my favorites), when I was was introduced to Night Train, I knew it would really top the bunch. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars oscar is never wrong
Oscar Peterson was a perfect fabricator, in the spirit of Alfred Tennyson in poetry. Also, Ray Brown swings like mad, even when he's just going quarter note to quarter note.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very enjoyable trio outing.
The Peterson Trio's NIGHT TRAIN is definitely one of the most famous jazz recordings of all-time. It is easy to hear why. This album is packed with classic be-bop jazz. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and essential jazz piano
Night Train is one of the best jazz piano albums I have yet to hear. Oscar Peterson is spellbinding -- both at breakneck and leisurely speeds -- and the ensemble is tight. Read more
