{"product_id":"oscar-peterson-night-train-spain-import","title":"Oscar Peterson - Night Train [Spain Import]","description":"\u003cp\u003eNight Train is the Oscar Peterson Trio at its most swinging and soulful, the 1963 Verve classic presented here as a remastered 180-gram Spanish import with a bonus track.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the early 60s, Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen had become one of the tightest units in jazz, and producer Norman Granz brought them into a Los Angeles studio in December 1962 to cut a set built on the blues and familiar standards. The result is one of the most approachable records in Peterson's huge catalogue, a session that showcases his dazzling technique without ever losing the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title track struts with a gutsy, rolling swing, and \"C Jam Blues\" turns Duke Ellington's simple theme into a playground for all three players. \"Georgia on My Mind\" slows things down into a warm, unhurried ballad, while \"Hymn to Freedom\", Peterson's own composition, carries a gospel-rooted dignity that made it an anthem of the civil rights era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown's bass is huge and woody throughout, Thigpen keeps everything crisp and buoyant, and Peterson's right hand sparkles with ideas from the first bar to the last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone starting a jazz collection, or adding to a big one, this remains a perennial favourite and a perfect late-night record.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57269574074673,"sku":"8436559464833","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Oscar_Peterson-Night_Train_Spain_Import.jpg?v=1793640098","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/oscar-peterson-night-train-spain-import","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
