Artist:  The Oscar Peterson Trio

Title:  Night Train

Date:  1962

Label:  Verve Records   V/V6-8538

Cover Photograph By:  Pete Turner

Notes:  Blues, swing, jazz. Any way you want to categorize him, Oscar can play 'em all and hang with the best of them. And "the best of them" is what we have right here. The rhythm section rolls along like the train of the title and the stops and starts pick us up and drop us off along this musical journey. A nice simple cover with the photo on the front offering a brief snapshot of the train rolling past. Hop aboard and join the trio on a trip. Seek this one out and you won't be sorry.
