We are repurposing the music from a Vinyl's Revenge post of January 26, 2016 as a new montage in our ongoing A la Carte series on For Your Listening Pleasure. The following notes are an update. |
This classic jazz piano album Night Train was recorded by
The Oscar Peterson Trio almost 60 years ago in Los Angeles on December 15 and
16, 1962. It’s a record that belongs in every collection, whether you’re
presently a jazz fan or whether you’ve taken a vow against improvised music, thinking
it’s incomprehensible and annoying.
The original album contained just 11 songs, and the
re-released digital version adds several more. Verve recordings were always
known for their quality of music and the outstanding artwork on their covers.
Night Train is one of the most famous jazz albums of all time, and deservedly
so.
Today’s re-post expands the original offering with a number
of bonus tracks, including some alternate takes of the original material, and a
few more hitherto unreleased contemporaneous studio recordings.
