I am not seriously going to compare this edition of the trio with the 50s one featuring Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. However, I will say that I personally enjoy this album as much as any the earlier trio recorded.This one was recorded at the London House in Chicago during the same period as The Trio. The only key difference between the two albums are the track titles. If you run through the sound samples on this page you will hear what I mean when I say that the performances are intense.As with the other album, Joe Pass' guitar work is more aggressive that his usual, virtuoso - but laid back - style. Perhaps it's Peterson's own drive, combined with Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen's bass that is locked into Peterson that account for it. I do have to note that Pedersen's bass work is perfectly matched to the music on each track.Again, comparing this to The Trio mentioned above the song selection on this album gives it a slightly different feel than the other one. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite track from this particular album, but as I write this it would probably be On A Clear Day. To me that track gives Peterson, Pass and Pedersen more room to stretch out as well as interact with one another.Regardless of which track would be your favorite, if you are a fan of any or all of the members of this trio this album is worth grabbing.
