The Oscar Peterson Trio – Live At The Blue Note (The Complete Recordings - March 16-18, 1990) [4 CD, 2004/FLAC]

 In March of 1990, Oscar Peterson played a two-week engagement at the Blue Note in New York with a group billed as the Oscar Peterson Trio, even though it contained four players. Peterson was on piano, Ray Brown was on bass, Herb Ellis was on guitar and Bobby Durham was on drums. The billing was no doubt intended to capitalize on the fact that Peterson, Brown and Ellis had been one of the most popular jazz trios of the 1950s. The three had rarely played together between 1958 and this 1990 New York gig.

• Oscar Peterson (piano)
• Herb Ellis (guitar)
• Ray Brown (bass)
• Bobby Durham (drums)
