专辑介绍：

Count Basie与Oscar Peterson合作的专辑，听起来感觉很“时髦”。

Oscar Peterson ，Jazz界无容质疑的大师级钢琴家,比博普（Bebop）乐派代表人物。似乎用三个“高”可以很形象地概括Oscar Peterson的特点：高技术、高速度、高情绪。而Count Basie也颇具速度感，但在这张集中速度似乎不是2人的追求，动静皆宜，配合得天衣无缝。

Personnel: Count Basie (piano, organ); Oscar Peterson (acoustic & electric pianos); John Heard (bass); Louis Bellson (drums). Recorded in February 1978. Orignally released on Pablo (2310 843). Includes original release notes by Nat Hentoff. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1992, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). At first blush, an album featuring both Count Basie and Oscar Peterson seems suspicious. Indeed, the two pianists' styles fall on opposite sides of the musical spectrum. Basie's approach has sometimes been described as minimalist, non-pianistic, and certainly bluesy. In contrast, Peterson is known for his technical wizardry, pianistic exhibitionism, and hard-bop vigor. The two piano legends actually develop a strong simpatico on NIGHT RIDER, and the album defies any attempts at stereotyping. In fact, Basie's playing is slightly more extroverted than usual, while Peterson's playing is more understated and economical. On "It's a Wonderful World," the two musicians' styles blend until the music almost sounds like the work of a four-handed pianist. Peterson refrains from his trademark two-handed-octave flourishes and embraces the blues instead. Conversely, Basie unlocks his reserves of pianism and infuses the music with more urgency and intensity. Bassist John Heard and drummer Louis Bellson support the two icons with an unerring sense for the idiom.
