Recorded during a two-week stand and originally intended for release on Verve, these performances stayed in the vault for decades, making this issue a genuine archival find rather than a routine live date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it especially rewarding is the lineup: Peterson with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen, a trio still only about a year into its run but already operating with startling unity. The set shows how naturally they could move between elegance and drive, whether on the crisp wit of “Politics and Poker,” the deep swing of “Django,” or the relaxed lyricism of “Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise.” Even in familiar standards, the appeal is less about showmanship than about three musicians reacting in real time with uncanny precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe source material points to two connected ways of hearing this release: as a focused single-LP highlights set, and as part of the complete Baker's Lounge recordings drawn from five sets performed that evening. Either way, it offers a vivid snapshot of Peterson in his prime and of one of his most finely balanced trios in a club setting that suits their conversational, hard-swinging style perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreviously unreleased performances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecorded at Baker's Keyboard Lounge on August 19, 1960\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerve release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReviews\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cq\u003eThere are live recordings that capture an engagement, and others that seem to revive an entirely vanished room.\u003c\/q\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutjazz.com\/the-oscar-peterson-trio-at-bakers-keyboard-lounge-oscar-peterson-trio-verve-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eAll About Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e The Oscar Peterson Trio\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Verve Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_worldwide\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Politics+And+Poker\"\u003ePolitics And Poker\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Dancing+On+The+Ceiling\"\u003eDancing On The Ceiling\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+S'posin'\"\u003eS'Posin'\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Django\"\u003eDjango\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Liza+(All+The+Clouds'll+Roll+Away)\"\u003eLiza (All The Clouds'Ll Roll Away)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Where+Do+I+Go+From+Here?\"\u003eWhere Do I Go From Here?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Yesterdays\"\u003eYesterdays\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+Softly,+As+In+A+Morning+Sunrise\"\u003eSoftly, As In A Morning Sunrise\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=The+Oscar+Peterson+Trio+The+Touch+Of+Your+Lips\"\u003eThe Touch Of Your Lips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Verve Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602289520705,"sku":"6058968","price":55.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/636c00d2548cfcd81e485aa2817b6286.jpg?v=1789563329","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/the-oscar-peterson-trio-at-bakers-keyboard-lounge-384889","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
