Album Notes & Community Reviews

This ambitious session places the famously tight Oscar Peterson Trio within the massive, swinging framework of a top-tier big band. Arranged by Ernie Wilkins, the orchestrations act as a powerful foil to Peterson's dizzying piano runs without burying the core trio's interplay. It is a stunning display of high-octane ensemble swing and technical mastery.
