Seeing that there are a good deal of Oscar fans here, name your one favorite album.....yes only one

Mine would be Night Train.

Night Train is also my favorite. I feel it stands head and shoulders above all the others. Second for me would be We Get Requests and third would be West Side Story.

Night Train was my very first Oscar Peterson album...and i still enjoy listening to it today. I find i listen to the MLPS set more, but nevertheless, i agree there is something very special about Night Train every time we play it.

 

[Migo]

This is my favorite live recording of the Trio. It is available on DSD,

Face To Face, 1982, Pablo


Best comping of OP's career. The cover of "All Blues" is magical....

Love Night Train and the MPS box set (and if you love the MPS box set, you need to search out the original MPS pressings!!) but my all time favourite Oscar Peterson album is still one I discovered here at WBF - Nigerian Marketplace. It's still an album I listen to very much more often than any other OP album in my collection.

Incredible performance.

wow... that is burnin'!

 

[APP]

I just love the happy mood of this album;

 

[Migo]

Yes. I agree. Clark Terry brought joy with every note he played. Wonderful man.

 

[RogerD]

Oscar was a giant of a man.....

 

[APP]

Stan Getz with Oscar Peterson 3, is another favorite of mine;

 

[Migo]

Good bass player

 

[Joe Whip]

Yes, Ray left us far too soon. I was able to see the great Ron Carter this week at the Blue Note in NYC. It is amazing what great bass players are able to do. Hearing him live was a real thrill.

 

[APP]

So Ron Carter is still going strong. He is one of the last giants.
Come to think of it did Ron ever play a concert with Oscar? I do not think they ever recorded but maybe he subbed once?

OP's 95th Birthday (HT Ted Gioia)

Another vote for "Live At The Stratford Shakespearean Festival". Love it.
