![The Trio [1973]](https://rovimusic.rovicorp.com/image.jpg?c=yb6T-bjKBYjh0-IxxixuzYAf7E_1E-2MlBBPmPAXRBU=&f=1)
Producer Norman Granz occasionally got carried away with the quantity of his recording projects. In 1974 he recorded a full album teaming fellow pianists Count Basie and Oscar Peterson in a rhythm quintet; little did anyone realize that this then-unique matchup would eventually result in five albums. This first one, which finds Basie doubling on organ, is among the best. Peterson's virtuosic style somehow worked very well with Basie's sparse playing and these ten numbers really swing.
