OSCAR PETERSON TRIO AT THE CONCERTGEBOUW is actually a live recording of a concert at The Civic Opera House and bonus tracks from an LP titled THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET AND THE OSCAR PETERSON TRIO AT THE OPERA HOUSE which were originally recorded at the Shrine Auditorium.

Though Peterson would work in a trio format for much of his career, he seldom attained the heights reached by this ensemble, and AT THE CONCERTGEBOUW is one of the trio's finest offerings.
