Description
Affinity captures a studio session from September 1962 in Chicago, featuring Peterson on piano alongside his long-time trio partners Ray Brown (bass) and Ed Thigpen (drums). The album offers a refined selection of standards delivered with the assured interplay that defined the Peterson/Brown/Thigpen trio. Petersons first recorded take on the Bill Evans classic Waltz For Debby is a lyrical, nuanced performance and Gravy Waltz, co-written by Ray Brown, showcases the trios rhythmic drive and subtle groove. As a whole, Affinity is a tasteful, well-crafted example of Petersons work in the early 1960s a strong trio recording that reflects his continued commitment to swing, subtlety, and ensemble balance, making it a valuable piece for any serious jazz collection.
