The Paris Concert is a 1978 live album by Oscar Peterson, accompanied by Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, and Joe Pass.[1]
Reception
Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the CD reissue "[Peterson] mostly sticks to standards but includes three songs associated with Benny Goodman (including the riff-filled 'Benny's Bugle'), features Pass (who contributed his original 'Gentle Tears') unaccompanied on 'Lover Man' and really romps with his fellow virtuosoes on such numbers as 'Ornithology,' 'Donna Lee' and 'Sweet Georgia Brown.'"[2]
