They aren't the OP group but it's Ray doing his thing with many other great players, and they won't take you too far out from the original vibe. Also, you can expand your OP Trio collection with recordings like "Live at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival" and "We Get Requests", and don't forget to check out youtube for some awesome live videos from the 70s.
As for other great piano trios that you should check out. Well, there are tons.

More help from other TB-ers is gladly appreciated. Haha

Oscar was one of the real greats of piano. Whenever I see Ray I always mean to ask about what it was like to work with such an influential musician and then the conversation goes other ways. I'll send him an email to get some comments and then post them here.

Although I should point out there's nothing unreliable about my post - it's 100% solid gold, as always.

A good one to start with is the album "Catalonian Fire"...

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Oak Park, MI | | | A few I'd recommend are:
Nigerian Marketplace: With bassist Nils Hemming Olmstead Pederson, This quartet cooks, one of the funkiest acoustic rhythm sections I've ever heard with Ulf Walkiness on Guitar and drummer Terry Clarke. One of my favorite all time Jazz albums
Night Train: Is considered by many the finest recording of one of the finest Jazz bassist ever Ray Brown.
Live at the Blue Note: With Ray Brown, Herb Ellis and Bobby Durham
At Newport Live: With Philly Joe Jones, Sonny Stitt, and Roy Elderidge
And their are probably to many others to mention, but these are a great start.

| | | | IMO, the best 'if I was only going to buy one Oscar Peterson CD' is 'Exclusively for my Friends'. It's a great 2 disc collection of solo and trio live performances of Oscar smokin' through a lot of classic standards. Very good! |

Well - in the DB community you will find Jazz pros who can give you a lot of info and some who may have played with or met the man himself!
