{"product_id":"oscar-peterson-at-bakers-keyboard-lounge","title":"Oscar Peterson - At Baker's Keyboard Lounge","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt Baker's Keyboard Lounge opens a door onto a Detroit night in 1960, when the Oscar Peterson Trio were the most finely tuned piano group in jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recordings come from a two-week engagement at the city's celebrated jazz room, captured on a single evening and originally intended as a live album for Verve. For reasons lost to time it never came out, and the tapes sat unheard until this 2026 release. Peterson was joined by his classic partners, Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums, a lineup famous for playing with almost telepathic precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Politics \u0026amp; Poker\" kicks off the set with bright, swinging confidence, and \"Dancing on the Ceiling\" floats along on Peterson's sparkling right hand. John Lewis's mournful \"Django\" brings a darker, more reflective mood, while \"Softly as in a Morning Sunrise\" gives the trio room to stretch out and dig into the groove.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat stands out is how the three move as one unit, whether racing through a hard-charging tempo or easing into a ballad, each shift in dynamics landing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of discovery jazz fans dream about: a great working band at its peak, finally heard after more than six decades on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67761822892322,"sku":"199957190893","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Oscar_Peterson-At_Bakers_Keyboard_Lounge_450ef2ce-af80-40b6-ac6e-7eec1e9b1719.jpg?v=1794309734","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/oscar-peterson-at-bakers-keyboard-lounge","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
