The Oscar Peterson Trio: Night Train (LP)

The idea of christening a train station in Peterson's name in particular probably occurred to fans while listening to the album "Night Train." Recorded in 1962 under the direction of Norman Granz with Ray Brown (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums), the album is considered one of Oscar Peterson's absolute masterpieces and is one of the best-selling Verve albums of all time. Celebrating the 60th anniversary, this release features the complete original Oscar Peterson cult album, one of the many masterpieces recorded by the classic Peterson Trio with Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. In addition to a number of Duke Ellington compositions, the LP also includes the earliest version of Peterson's legendary "Hymn to Freedom."
