Easter Suite is Oscar Peterson’s musical interpretation of the Passion, Jesus’s suffering, death and resurrection. That might seem to be a stretch for a jazz trio, especially when compared to monumental works on the same theme, such as Johann Sebastian Bach’s passions. Granted, other jazz artists have experimented with religious themes, like Duke Ellington with his sacred concerts and Dave Brubeck with his oratorios. But whereas, say, Ellington has the timbral palette of his orchestra to draw from, Peterson works solely here with an instrumental trio. So the challenge for Easter Suite as a composition is both in the idiom (jazz) and the instrumental resources (piano, bass and drums). I’m not sure if Easter Suite works as an inspirational religious composition, but it is certainly intriguing in its ambition and reach. And it surely deserves a place with other jazz religious compositions.

Each of the nine songs that comprise Easter Suite attempts to evoke a feeling or suggest a dialog in the linear story of the Passion.

For example, the opening number, “The Last Supper,” is a lovely ballad for solo piano that evokes a somber mood, fitting Jesus’ saying goodbye to his apostles for the last time. It segues to “The Garden of Gethsemene,” a softly swinging, mid-tempo tune; I’m not sure what it evokes, but it sounds terrific. Ebook Pimsleur German 1.pdf. Drummer Martin Drew plays restrained, steady brushwork as bass player Niels-Henning Orstedt Pedersen plays the melody.

Pedersen’s technique is strong and lyrical; his bass sings. “The Garden of Gethsemene” is also an example of one of Easter Suite’s strengths: some of the melodies are so catchy, they seem as if they have accompanying lyrics that just aren’t being sung at the moment. Dartmoth Manor Rags Download on this page. “Denial” depicts the hubbub around Jesus’s capture and the apostle Peter denying that he knows Jesus. The song is uptempo and rousing, with tense drum fills and periodic jaggedness in the melody. Still, the song swings, as most of the songs in Easter Suite do. It’s as if Peterson can’t not swing.
