About this album

Action is a sharp, swinging Oscar Peterson album that shows the pianist in commanding form. Issued in 1968, it finds him balancing post-bop energy with cool jazz ease and the deep time feel of swing, a combination that made his small-group work so consistently compelling. Peterson’s trademark touch — fleet, clean and harmonically assured — turns standards such as At Long Last Love, I’ve Got a Crush On You and Tin Tin Deo into elegant, hard-driving performances. The result is a concise reminder of why Peterson remains one of jazz piano’s most admired technicians and most reliable stylists.
