Info for At Baker’s Keyboard Lounge: The Complete Recordings (Remastered)
The lost evening: The stunning collection of previously unreleased performances was recorded in August of 1960 at Detroit’s legendary Baker’s Keyboard Lounge. The album unveils Oscar Peterson’s only recorded performance of the 1929 standard “S’posin,” which debuts today offering a thrilling preview of the trio at full tilt.
Captured during a two-week engagement at the height of the trio’s powers, the recordings feature Peterson with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Ed Thigpen. Already one of the most celebrated groups in jazz, the trio breathes as one throughout these performances, phrasing with uncanny unity no matter the tempo or complexity. Whether roaring through flag-wavers or caressing ballads with lyrical grace, the ensemble’s seamless interplay and aristocratic swing embody what pianist Roger Kellaway famously described as Peterson’s “will to swing.”
The setting was equally iconic. Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, located on Detroit’s historic Livernois corridor, has a legitimate claim as the oldest continuously operating jazz club in the world. In 1960, Detroit was a thriving cultural capital and a national jazz stronghold, and Baker’s—with its intimate 99-seat room that hosted the era’s greatest artists—was its epicenter. Peterson himself performed there 18 times between 1957 and 1972, forming a deep bond with the club and its devoted audiences. These recordings now join a short list of historic live documents captured within its storied walls.
