It was commissioned by the South Bank Show, London Weekend Television's flagship arts programme, and broadcast nation-wide on Good Friday, April 24th, 1984. Its eight movements follow the events related in the gospel story. This recording of the world premiere performance also features an interview with Peterson, explaining how he went about composing the suite, his initial skepticism about interpreting such a topic in the medium of jazz and his relation to spiritual music. He also describes in detail the various motifs of the work.If the passion and resurrection seem surprising as topics for a longer jazz work, Oscar Peterson with his 'Easter Suite' appears in a long line of other jazz greats, who at least in their later works created religiously inspired works. ~ Crotchet.co.ukPersonnel:Oscar Peterson, pianoNiels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, bassMartin Drew, drumsOscar Peterson - Easter Suite for Jazz Trio tracks:01 The Last Supper02 The Garden of Gethsemane03 Denial04 Why Have You Betrayed Me05 The Trial06 Are You Really King of the Jews07 Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me08 Jesus Christ Lies Here Tonight09 He Has RisenLink : http://www.youtube.com/user/nadya984Download:  http://www.picktorrent.com/download/dd/771291/oscar-peterson---easter-suite-for-jazz-trio-[jazz][mp3-320][h33t][schon55]/
