Oscar Peterson : The Way I Really Play (Exclusively For My Friends Vol. 3)

With Sam Jones and Bobby Durham, Peterson’s new, permanent trio has emerged on the third MPS album in a row. ‘The best trio I’ve ever had’, said the Canadian, raving about the immediate feeling of togetherness. This Vol. 3 is appropriately titled ‘The Way I Really Play’. In the recordings presented here, it is undoubtedly clear that Jones and Durham take a back seat, serving as the ideal projection surface for Peterson’s piano playing, but still come forward with solo moments.
