Legendary Album
25 April 2009
This is an impeccably constructed selection of favourites, performed with the delicacy of touch and inherent melodic sense that Peterson displays in his finest moments.
Is it possible to derive greater enjoyment from jazz than this? I ask myself this question every time I listen to this album. It's built like the great pop albums: at the end of each song, you immediately anticipate the start of the next, and experience immense pleasure when you hear that piano again.
The trio one of the most celebrated piano trios in the history of the music is tight, swinging, exquisitely balanced. Peterson's most personal moment on the album is perhaps the final "Hymn to Freedom". It is such a moving piece I'm often driven to playing it for its own sake, but nothing gives it greater emotional power than the music that precedes it. It's as if the whole album were recorded just to provide a context for "Hymn" to stand out in this way. A jubilant record is closed a with a pensive poem.
The record is dedicated to Peterson's father, a sleeping-car attendant on Canadian Pacific Railways.
The Peterson Trio's NIGHT TRAIN is definitely one of the most famous jazz recordings of all-time. It is easy to hear why. This album is packed with classic be-bop jazz. NIGHT TRAIN is also one of the most immediately enjoyable and listenable jazz albums, much like Dave Brubeck's TIME OUT or John Coltrane's MY FAVORITE THINGS.
The repertoire here is rather heavy on standards, but Peterson's originals shine thru just a brightly-especially the effervescent title track. "Georgia On My Mind" is another standout track lovely.
