On the Town with the Oscar Peterson Trio

I, I've picked a piece from the year 1999, quite late on, with his then regular, uh, touring rhythm section of Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on the bass and the English drummer, Martin Drew, on drums, uh, with the addition in this case of Ulf Wakenius on guitar.

This is from the album A Summer Night in Munich, which in fact was almost entirely composed by Peterson as well.

well.[on-hold jazz music]

[on-hold jazz music]"Backyard Blues" there from a summer night in Munich.

Bit too much bass I think on the recording perhaps, which I hadn't noticed before.

Well, maybe that's a cue to, uh, shed the bass and the drums and the guitar and go to one of Oscar's solo piano albums.

Again, uh, this one was under the direction of Hans-Georg Brunischwer.

Um, his rendition of, uh, "Someone to Watch Over Me," I must say, it almost brings tears to the eyes.
