AllMusic: At the Stratford Shakespearean Festival
This LP contains what is considered by most listeners to be the finest recording of the Oscar Peterson-Herb Ellis-Ray Brown Trio, a group that lasted from 1953-1958. Although the soloing was always quite passionate and spontaneous, the very complex arrangements are really what made this unit sound unique. Contains particularly memorable renditions of 'Falling in Love with Love', 'How About You', 'Swinging On A Star', 'How High The Moon', and '52nd Street Theme'. Essential music from a classic band.SCOTT YANOW
