'Montreux Jazz Festival', "Casino De Montreux", Switzerland, July 14, 1977

One of many Pablo albums taken from the 1977 Montreux Jazz Festival, this outing teams together pianist Oscar Peterson, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Bobby Durham with tenorman Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis and trumpeters Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie. The talented (and very competitive) players really dig into the opening uptempo blues ("Ali and Frazier") and they continue cooking on "If I Were a Bell," "Bye Bye Blues" (which has been added to the CD reissue), "Things Ain't What They Used to Be" and "Just in Time." As often happens in this type of situation, the musicians mutually inspire each other; this is one of Dizzy Gillespie's better sessions of the 1970s. There are no losers during these battles.

Pretty much documented (about 15 Pablo-OJCCD disks) and with wonderful Giuseppe Pino photographs as covers, the 1977 Montreux Festival was a pinnacle. The producer Norman Granz wrote then about this night:

"Musicians know that not only are Clark Terry and Dizzy Gillespie two of the greatest musicians playing today but, moreover, are two of the greatest trumpet players in the history of jazz. I deliberately pitted Dizzy against Clark, knowing that each would push the other to the maximum. Pedersen is one of the two or three greatest bassists in jazz today, but hasn't the public recognition he deserves, simply because he works largely in Denmark..."
