We Get Requests
Oscar Peterson Trio · 1964
Immaculate, generous, and perfectly happy to be talked over.
Why it matters
The most useful dinner record ever made. Peterson swings hard enough to hold the room's mood up and never once insists on being listened to. Standards, played by three men of frightening ability who have decided, tonight, simply to be charming.
The Continental setting
Eight-thirty, eight people at the table, the second course going out.
