The Paris Concert (Oscar Peterson album)


The Paris Concert is a 1978 live album by Oscar Peterson accompanied by bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and guitarist Joe Pass.

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the CD reissue " mostly sticks to standards but includes three songs associated with Benny Goodman, features Pass unaccompanied on 'Lover Man' and really romps with his fellow virtuosoes on such numbers as 'Ornithology,' 'Donna Lee' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown.'"
