Oscar Peterson Trio - Live in Bremen 1961 / 2LP The Lost Recordings

"Die Glocke" in the German Hanseatic city of Bremen (where Sieveking Sound is also based) was one of Herbert von Karajan's favourite concert halls in Europe. It was built in 1737 with an

octagonal floor plan and, despite several fires, has retained one of the best acoustics on the continent.On that evening in April 1961, in front of an audience of 1,400, the imposing figure of Oscar

Peterson sat down at his piano with his two followers. They were Ray Brown, known to his admirers as "the handsome bassist," and Ed Thigpen, one of the most sought-after drummers on the New

York scene.The Lost Recordings retrieved the tapes of this groundbreaking concert from the archives of Bremen Radio and spent many weeks restoring them. Oscar Peterson is an ingenious alchemist

 and, in a sense, his own Pygmalion, who sees his transformations through to the end. Already a master of swing, Peterson outdid himself in every way. He expanded his repertoire and reinvented himself

again and again, while remaining true to his innermost nature. His legacy, the magical glamour he brought to jazz, is priceless.
