"Oscar Peterson is the best jazz pianist in the world." ~ Down Beat Readers Poll: First Place, Eleven Times ~
"...Last Call At The Blue Note" is one of the best albums from Oscar Peterson Trio featuring himself on piano, Herb Ellis on guitar, Bobby Durham on drums and Ray Brown on bass. It was recorded live at a premiere jazz club in New York City, Blue Note, on March 18, 1990 and was released in 1992 by Telarc, a trusted name when it comes to top-notch jazz recordings.
I love this recording for two main reasons - "Yours Is My Heart Alone" and one of his very own compositions, "Wheatland." I selected these beautiful tunes to be the highpoints of this live recording, which clearly displayed the excellent musicianship of Peterson and his sidemen who worked as a team in presenting to their live audiences a wonderful program that will never disappoint.
I wholeheartedly recommend this live recording to any dedicated fan of "the best jazz pianist in the world."
