Oscar Peterson Trio & Clark Terry Oscar Peterson Trio + One: 2026: AS

The Oscar Peterson Trio & Clark Terry's Oscar Peterson Trio + One on 180g LP. Remastered and Transferred from Analog Tapes. Pressed at QRP and Packaged in Deluxe Gatefold Packaging.

Recorded August 17-18, 1964, in New York and released on Verve the same year, Plus One pairs the impeccably unified Oscar Peterson Trio - Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen - with the warm-toned, inventive, and rhythmically buoyant Clark Terry, whose trumpet, flugelhorn, and signature "mumbles" scat style bring a fresh contrast that still fits seamlessly within the trio's refined framework.

Showcasing Terry's crisp articulation, plush tone, and playful vocalizing on tracks like "Mumbles," the album balances tight structural clarity on pieces such as "Brotherhood of Man" with more spacious, lyrical moments like the ballad "Jim," all underscored by Peterson's elegance and the trio's instinctive cohesion. Concise, polished, and shaped by the easy rapport of four major jazz voices, Plus One stands as a quintessential mid-1960s Verve session and a snapshot of Peterson expanding his studio collaborations while preserving the trio's core identity.

This Verve Series features transfers from analog tapes and remastered 180-gram vinyl in deluxe gatefold packaging.
