For this trio set with bassist
Niels Pedersen and drummer
Terry Clarke, the great pianist
Oscar Peterson (appearing at the 1981 Montreux Jazz Festival) performs a medley of "Misty" and "Waltz for Debby," three standards, his own "Cakewalk" and the debut of "Nigerian Marketplace," the first section of an extended suite not yet completed at the time. This is a well-rounded set (reissued on CD) that finds the remarkable
Oscar Peterson in typically swinging and prime form. ~ Scott Yanow
