About this album

In Concert shows Oscar Peterson at his most fluent and immediately responsive, turning familiar jazz standards into a showcase for virtuosity, swing and group chemistry. Issued in 1969, the album draws on the cool jazz and bop traditions Peterson helped define, with his trademark drive and touch giving each piece a sense of effortless command. Numbers such as Tenderly, C Jam Blues and Sweet Georgia Brown highlight the trio’s blend of invention and precision, while Daahoud underlines Peterson’s bebop roots. It is a fine example of why he remained one of jazz’s most admired pianists: technically brilliant, deeply musical and always in the groove.
