This is a fairly typical date from the
Oscar Peterson Trio (which features the pianist-leader, bassist
Ray Brown and drummer
Ed Thigpen). Many of the songs on this LP are associated with other musicians (such as "Waltz for Debbie," "This Could Be the Start of Something Big" and "Six and Four") but
Peterson has little difficulty swinging them in his usual fashion; a highlight is the original version of
Ray Brown's "Gravy Waltz." [A Japanese version of
Affinity was released in 2004 and includes bonus tracks.]
