Oscar Peterson has thoroughly assimilated not just every piano style that preceded him buy every ensemble idiom as well: swinging big bands, gospel, European classical, and, of course, the blues. Having mastered all of this, Peterson found the standard piano trio the perfect vehicle for exploring all of these types of music. In this classic album, the crowning achievement in his greatest year, Peterson doesn’t just explore these styles — he conquers them.

Verve’s Master Edition of the Oscar Peterson Trio date released as Night Train includes stately covers of blues and R&B standards like “The Honeydripper,” “C-Jam Blues,” “Georgia on My Mind,” “Bags’ Groove,” “Moten Swing,” and “Things Ain’t What They Used to Be.” Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen provide tight accompaniment, and there are six previously unavailable tracks recorded the same day, including “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” and “Volare,” as well as alternate takes of “Happy-Go-Lucky Local” and “Moten Swing”.
