| Artist: The Oscar Peterson Trio ( With Roy Eldridge, Sonny Stitt & Jo Jones) Title: At Newport Date: 1958 / 1982 Label: Verve Records UMV-2618 Cover and Liner Photos: Burt Goldblatt
Notes: On July 7, 1957 the Oscar Peterson trio turned in a fine set for the folks at the Newport Jazz Festival. The instruments seemed to play themselves and drag the players along with them. Fluid solos danced on top of the rhythm and could amaze, amuse and generally take your breath away at times. So to follow this up Oscar is joined on stage by a new trio of players and continues on with the show. New soloists, new moods and new material. The smooth piano texture is played against the rougher sounding sax and the result is a joy to hear. The trumpet roars along, propelled by the rolling gait of the drums. Another fresh and tasty set and the crowd is left with the glow of having seen musicians truly enjoying themselves. This Japanese import has a nice live shot on the front cover and individual pictures and brief biographies of the players on the back. Well done men…
