Released in 1962, Night Train is one of Oscar Peterson’s most celebrated albums, showcasing his trio at the height of its powers. With Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums, Peterson takes listeners on a soulful journey through blues, ballads, and standards. The title track is a driving, blues-infused opener that sets the tone, while pieces like “Georgia on My Mind” and “Hymn to Freedom” reveal Peterson’s unmatched touch, blending technical brilliance with emotional depth. The album strikes a perfect balance between virtuosity and accessibility, making it a cornerstone of modern jazz piano recordings.
