3LP: Verve Official Store
Eight-time Grammy-winning, Montreal-born pianist Oscar Peterson (1925-2007) recorded prolifically over the years, releasing studio and live albums throughout his lifetime on the Mercury, Verve, MPS, Prestige, Pablo, and Telarc labels, among others. Verve now adds a new title to his already voluminous discography with the debut of The Oscar Peterson Trio At Baker’s Keyboard Lounge on CD, LP, and digital formats. The label captured the trio’s Friday evening sets at Baker’s for a live album that was ultimately shelved but now sees the light of day after 65 years. The standard 1CD and 1LP edition offer highlights from the five sets performed that Friday evening in August 1960; a direct-to-consumer 3LP version mirrors the digital presentation with all five sets in order.
