This review is from: Montreux 77 (Audio CD)

Oscar Peterson is one of the few monster speed players who can stay musical. This CD is an absolute essential for bassists esspecially. Neils Henning Orsted-Pederson is one of the first real upright burners, his lines are so fast an clean. This juxaposed to the late great Ray Browns beautifull melodies and tasty chops is a course in Everything you need to know to play upright. Rays impecible time keeps this cd moving along, leaving no desire for a drummer.Although all of them overplay and show off past the point of musicality, with three of the most advanced and inovative musicians in thier fields, this cd is a must have.

Apart from Art Tatum who is one of two pianists who have influenced the way Oscar plays, his dexterity is like no one else's! This LIVE recording is superb. The sounds of Ray and Niels are like conversation pieces, MAN!!! Those talking basses! The fingers of Niel's move so fast on those strings while Ray provides the steady rhythm which keeps the music together. Who says we need a drummer?

Got one of these for myself and one for a 20 year old jazz aficianado...great music and there's not a lot to add to that. If you like jazz piano, and if you love bassists, get it!
