Oscar Peterson - Eloquence

Japanese reissue

This was the last album that pianist Oscar Peterson and bassist Ray Brown recorded with Ed Thigpen before the drummer departed from O.P.'s trio after six years of steady work. The music heard during this "live from Copenhagen" concert is excellent. Peterson is in particularly strong form on "Misty," "Django," a cooking "Autumn Leaves" and "Moanin'."
