Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured at the London House in Chicago, this album features the pianist's celebrated, incredibly tight working trio with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen. The set epitomizes Peterson's phenomenally dexterous, blues-infused swing and flawless technical execution across standard repertoire. The relaxed, conversational club atmosphere highlights the ensemble's unmatched dynamic control and effortless, highly accessible approach to modern jazz.
