Personnel: Oscar Peterson (piano); John Heard (bass); Louie Bellson (drums). Recorded live at Royal Festival Hall, London, England on October 21, 1978. Includes liner notes by Benny Green. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1993, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). This two-CD set, which reissues a Pablo two-LP release, features pianist Oscar Peterson in a strong and supportive trio with bassist John Heard and drummer Louis Bellson. Although his sidemen get some solo space, the focus is primarily on the remarkable pianist on a variety of standards, his own "Hogtown Blues" and a six-song Duke Ellington medley. Whether it be on rapid stomps or sensitive ballads, this trio (which was in reality an all-star pickup group) sounds as if they had worked together regularly for years. ~ Scott Yanow
