  3. Oscar Peterson -- further thoughts

    in Artists

    Posted

    I find his "Night Child" album on the Pablo label to be quite interesting. He plays mostly electric piano. The album sounds very different from every other Oscar Peterson album. I think that he should have done more recording in this approach, exploring other things other than his fast mainstream playing.

    It's the same song, I think that it's likely the hall playing that as a their every performance sign off, doubt it was "My Country 'Tis of Thee" for Dylan. 

    I have the box but after listening to about half the box I'm giving it a rest before listening again. When I got the box I thought I would be most excited about the electric halves of the shows. To the contrary, I find the acoustic sets most fascinating.

    I read in Bill Wyman's autobiography that every concert in the U.K. had to end with a playing of God Save The Queen, until some time in the later 1960s. Wyman described how the Rolling Stones concerts in the mid-1960s would end on a very energetic note, then the recording of God Save The Queen would be heard in the theater, moments after they finished.

    in Blindfold Test

    I know one of the songs. Song 3 is by the Archie Shepp and Horace Parlan duo, from the Trouble in Mind album on the Steeplechase label. This song is When Things Go Wrong from that album.

    Your Blindfold Test is a consistently mainstream, swinging one. I like it. I will keep listening and trying to guess who is playing.
