This Oscar Peterson Trio session, previously unissued on any format, was recorded live in Hanover in October 1967, for a radio broadcast - and is further enhanced by the presence of the great Coleman Hawkins The core of the performance is by the Peterson trio with Sam Jones on bass and Bobby Durham on drums - with Peterson as phenomenal as ever and the trio a master-class in finely-tuned interplay.

Hawkins joins in on 4 of the album's tracks, bringing that raspy, soulful tone to the material and really opening it up as he solos on "Moonglow", "Sweet Georgia Brown", "September Song", and "Stuffy". The rest of the material is straight trio, but still plenty darn nice. In just over 18 months after this session, the Hawk would be dead. The last two or three years of his output was often patchy, quality-wise, but this is definitely an exception to that trend, and the old master is blowing in a fluent, relaxed groove.
