Red Garland and Ray Bryant display their ability and good taste exploring a selection of ballads, blues, standards and originals. Despite their different styles, both pianists deliver, in their respective ways, a moving experience. The incredibly tasteful Garland s discerning touch, phrasing and innately melodic sense make his playing a constant joy and show why Miles Davis hired him for his first great quintet. Where the Ray Bryant session is concerned, the blues take over from the first dark, rolling figure that opens the date. The result is a multi-faceted, happy, dolorous, impish, whimsical blues outing played by an interpreter steeped in the genre, a set that gives full rein to Bryant to express his soul.

1949年因獲名製作人諾曼‧葛蘭茲邀請參加「爵士走進愛樂廳」音樂會而一舉成名的加拿大籍奧斯卡‧彼德生，其演奏風格承襲自一代宗師亞特‧泰坦的瑰麗斑斕語彙，明快觸鍵裡總是充滿著勁道能量且始終閃耀著繽紛華麗光譜，而鋪陳之際如泉湧般的靈妙樂思盡是滿溢搖擺風情的典藏精粹，也因此由他領軍的三重奏作品始終是餘韻無窮的美饌佳釀，令人反覆聆聽、回味再三！本輯集結彼德生於五０年代末期至六０年代初期與長年合作夥伴低音提琴手雷‧布朗及鼓手艾德‧提格潘攜手聯演的「夜行列車」及「爵士精神」兩張作品，可謂他在彈奏技巧及即興創意上臻至顛峰的極致經典錄音，在早期藍調爵士經典曲的詮釋裡，無論是“Night Train”或“C Jam Blues”，其演奏宛若飛瀑傾瀉而下的滑順琴音，暢快而沁涼；在慢版抒情曲的演繹裡，無論是“Georgia On My Mind”或“My Heart Stood Still”，其所細膩勾勒撩動心弦的抒情感懷，泱然而典雅！
