The trio's pinnacle, combining overwhelming technique with a sense of swing.
This piano jazz album highlights the close collaboration with Ray Brown and Louis Hayes, and features energetic and structured performances, including the title track "Blues Etude."
This album captures the golden trio's pre-Pedersen days, showcasing Peterson's virtuosity and compositional abilities at the height of their powers. The high-speed passages on tracks like "Shelley Manne's Blues" are impressive, but the lyrical side also stands out. Ray Brown's steady bass and Hayes's light drumming intertwine exquisitely, creating a perfect harmony between the three. The title track combines the thrill of improvisation with architectural beauty.
