About this album

Travelin' On is a strong late-1960s Oscar Peterson album that balances dazzling technique with relaxed, melodic swing. Recorded in the post-bop era, it finds Peterson shaping familiar jazz language into something supple and assured, with his trio-style momentum giving the music both drive and elegance. The album moves between original material and well-chosen standards such as Emily, Quiet Nights and When Lights Are Low, highlighting Peterson’s gift for turning melody into fluent improvisation. It stands as a polished example of his late-60s work, when his command, taste and rhythmic fluency remained as formidable as ever.
