About this album

Oscar Peterson Trio + One is a sparkling bop session that highlights Oscar Peterson’s virtuoso touch in an intimate, hard-swinging setting with Clark Terry as the featured guest. Recorded in 1964, the album pairs Peterson’s famously fluid piano with Terry’s warm trumpet and flugelhorn phrasing, giving the trio format an extra layer of dialogue and wit. Built around standards and blues-based vehicles, the record shows why Peterson remained one of jazz’s great technicians and accompanists, capable of turning precision into genuine ease. It is widely regarded as a fine example of his mid-1960s work and a rewarding meeting of two master improvisers.
