The KCCK Featured Album for January is “On a Clear Day” from the Oscar Peterson Trio. In 1971, the ensemble was in transition. It was the beginning of a long musical partnership and close personal friendship between Oscar and bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, and the continuation of his years working with drummer Louis Hayes, which had begun in 1965. As heard in a never-before-released live recording from Zurich, Switzerland, the group melds their individual gifts into one glorious outpouring of musical expression. “On a Clear Day” is on Mack Avenue Records. Purchase.
