It is 9 p.m. on February 10, 1961, when Norman Granz takes the stage of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw to present one of the most sensational concerts of the Oscar Peterson Trio. Norman Granz is the greatest impesario and producer in the history of Jazz. Behind the scenes is his protégé, the one he discovered by chance one night in 1949 on the radio of a Montreal taxi, the one he would lead to the top of the pianists. The one he presents that evening as "the Ineffable". It can be said that Peterson plays 100 notes when others play 10, but this virtuosity is not disturbing when it is so perfectly placed in the service of music. The fluidity of the first notes of the introduction sets the tone for an exceptional concert... This is the first release of this recording.

The story of this discovery

“Oscar Peterson's supernatural virtuosity, his elegance and his sound, which is one of the most beautiful to have existed, place him in the firmament of the piano, all styles combined. What emotion did we feel during our first trip to the Dutch archives when we discovered this tape with his name on it! This previously unreleased recording is, for me, one of the most beautiful in his entire discography. I remember with emotion the sound of Ed Thigpen's cymbal at the very beginning of the tape, the first chords which revealed an exceptional sound recording and the first irresistible notes of the Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise…”
