EDITOR’S CHOICE: OSCAR PETERSON

Like every month, Editor’s Choice presents a handpicked favorite of Stingray DJAZZ's editor-in-chief, Karen van der Stal. This month, Karen spotlights the incredible Oscar Peterson Trio seen in concert in three different countries, delighting audiences with their classic repertoire and unparalleled musicianship. This legendary ’60s trio, consisting of Peterson on piano, his longtime partner Ray Brown on bass, and Ed Thigpen on drums, toured the world over, and is still considered one of the most formidable jazz combos ever. This program features a very early performance of Peterson’s signature tune ‘Hymn To Freedom’, as well as a special guest segment featuring the amazing Clark Terry on trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals.
