The Following Items are sold as a lot (Kindly do not ask for individual items)



"The Jazz Piano Trio, is said to be the very essence of Jazz, the Piano which takes the center stage manifests advantageous swing in
dynamics and interactions with the rhythm section, in a what is a condensed and most easily accessible format in Jazz.
Though, countless corals lay hidden in the sea of jazz trios; very few have defined a unique style within this format, and
emerge polished.Oscar Peterson, known for his Majestic Swing, Jessica Williams Trio here representing the
freewheeling but elegant style of the late Thelonious Monk, unravels classics from The Great American Songbook with a tinge of her
own spice showcasing a style that is exclusive.The Matt Savage Trio takes Post/Hard-Bop Piano Jazz to an entirely new level where
"Neo bop" is the new standard, the series here-in from Oscar to Savage, is sure to show the evolution of the Piano in Jazz"

1.Oscar Peterson Trio - Nigerian Marketplace (Pablo/Prestige - Made in U.S.A)
Rated as one of the quintessential Oscar Peterson Recording Nigerian Marketplace ;is a Trio outing comprising of
Danish Bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Drummer Terry Clarke.What a well-rounded set it is! with swinging hot
standards that showcase the remarkable speed of Oscar's fingerwork, "Nancy with the Laughing Face" written by Jimmy
Van Heusen gets the twilight hour ballad treatment as well as the alto-man Charlie Parker's "Au Privave" and a medley of
Misty/Waltz for Debby (originally made famous by the late iconic pianist Bill Evans) is performed
with such originality, a rare session from one of the greatest pianist in Jazz history, Highly Recommended.

2.Jessica Williams Trio - Higher Standards (Candid Jazz - Made in England)
For this typically superb effort, the brilliant pianist Jessica Williams (with the assistance of bassist Dave Captein and drummer Mel Brown) digs into nine standards and come up with fresh variations and consistently inventive ideas. Although a few of the songs (most notably "Mack the Knife," "A Night In Tunisia" and "East of the Sun") have been recorded many times, Williams comes up with original musical thoughts, full of wit and chance-taking, that make each of the selections sound new. Well worth acquiring - Scott Yanow (Jazz Critic)

3.Matt Savage Trio - Quantum Leap (Savage Records - Made in U.S.A)
Considering the heights he's scaled throughout his childhood, it's hard to believe it took teenage jazz piano prodigy Matt Savage five recordings to name one Quantum Leap. For most kids, overcoming an early diagnosis of autism would be story enough. For most freakishly talented young musicians, playing at eight and nine with Dave Brubeck, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner - and headlining New York's Blue Note and Birdland by 12 -- would be icing on the crazy cake. So besides creating another absolutely astonishing, refreshing and engaging (even for only casual jazz fans) straight-ahead collection of mostly originals with his trio (both adult musicians, the appropriately named bassist John Funkhouser and drummer Steve Silverstein), where's the leap? It's in their new deal with Palmetto Records, which is connected with MRI/RED distribution; this will be the first Savage disc to be distributed worldwide. Aside from the exciting melodies and rhythms ranging from playful swing "Give Me a Break," "Free and Easy" to stride blues (the witty "Couch Potato Blues") and gracefully romantic "Dreaming of You", the most remarkable element in this 15-track collection is the effortless maturity of Savage's composing. He includes a scattering of covers of tunes by inspirations like George Shearing - through (the buoyant "Lullaby of Birdland"), Thad Jones ("A Child Is Born"), and even "Monk's Dream," but the real fun comes when Savage and his trio play it "Free and Easy" on tuneful originals like the crazily percussive and hypnotic Caribbean trip to "Curacao," the swirling dance of "Closer Than You Think," and the sly "Hide and Seek." "Blues in 33/8" is another crazy-cool gem that finds him and Silverstein making up the metric rules as they go along. Brubeck once heralded Savage as "another Mozart" but the ever growing Savage is moving even beyond that to set new standards for up-and-coming generations -
