The Oscar Peterson Trio (the "classic" trio with Brown and Ellis/Thigpen)

~ Group

Annotation

While Brown and Peterson were regularly playing duets, Brown suggested that they extend the formation to a trio in 1951. After a short try with Charlie Smith on drums, they soon moved to a piano/bass/guitar line-up, working with either Barney Kessel or Irving Ashby during the first couple of years. Kessel left at the end of the season, and Brown suggested Herb Ellis as a replacement. This line-up is what is usually referred to as The Peterson Trio, and will last up to 1958.
