Jazzclub Live: Flashback #21/27 Oscar Peterson "Easter Suite

Telegraph live club

When someone is called "Maharajah of the Keys", that's basically something. But if he is called that by Duke Ellington (or you have read the headline), you know: We are talking about none other than Oscar Peterson. So that Canadian pianist and composer, who from the mid-50s played with the very, very greats (Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Lester Young, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Quincy Jones, Stan Getz, Coleman Hawkins, Dizzy Gillespie, but let's not go there, the list goes on and on). In the 60s and 70s he recorded legendary albums like "Night Train" with his trio. Peterson won seven Grammys in total.
During the time he was playing sessions with well-known jazz musicians on his own television show, Peterson wrote a setting of the Passion of Jesus in nine movements, the "Easter Suite," for the BBC. It is considered his little-known masterpiece, having been performed only once for a long time. Leipzig pianist Olga Reznichenko did just that, on Maundy Thursday 2018.
And because it was so beautiful, right away again!

Olga Reznichenko (p), Volker Heuken (vb), Carl Wittig (b), Tom Friedrich (dr)
