About this episode
Who swings harder: Oscar Peterson with guitar or drums? In this jazz piano trio showdown, Adam and Peter go head-to-head with seven scorching tracks spanning OP’s career. Team Guitar brings Barney Kessel, Herb Ellis, and Joe Pass, while Team Drums is anchored by the ever-swinging Ed Thigpen. We break down comping chemistry, shifting textures, virtuosic solos, and how each setup shaped the trio’s iconic sound. Which format delivered the best Oscar Peterson performances? Join us for a deep dive into Canada’s greatest jazz export.
