Summary
Oscar Peterson looks back at his career from early days in Montreal to the international touring of his trio (and later his quartet). Shipton talks in detail to Peterson, whose autobiography he published, but also to key memnbers of his trios, including Ray Brown, Ed Thigpen and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen. The chapter discuses how the band featured on Jazz at the Philharmonic concerts and also how it worked in the studio for Norman Granz, including sessions with Ella Fitzgerald.
