The album offers a refined selection of standards delivered with the assured interplay that defined the Peterson\/Brown\/Thigpen trio. Peterson’s first recorded take on the Bill Evans classic ‘Waltz For Debby’ is a lyrical, nuanced performance — and ‘Gravy Waltz’, co-written by Ray Brown, showcases the trio’s rhythmic drive and subtle groove. As a whole, Affinity is a tasteful, well-crafted example of Peterson’s work in the early 1960s — a strong trio recording that reflects his continued commitment to swing, subtlety, and ensemble balance, making it a valuable piece for any serious jazz collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eclipse Records","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":56625536041338,"sku":"7828214","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/9534\/1913\/files\/download_6101d8f0-ea24-4f1e-b76f-9840e0ddca53.png?v=1772145504","url":"https:\/\/eclipse-records.co.uk\/products\/oscar-peterson-trio-affinity-verve-acoustic-sounds","provider":"Eclipse Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
