When it comes to sharing the spotlight, Oscar Peterson is the poster boy. For example, at the Bern Jazz Festival in 1988 Oscar added several numbers by the incredible Carmen McRae … such as “Sometimes I’m Happy”. Peterson played piano, naturally, while Dave Young was on bass and Martin Drew on drums to round out the trio. In a more intimate setting back in 1969, the trio had Sam Jones playing drums and Bobby Durham on bass, and shared the spotlight with yet another superstar in the person of Dexter Gordon. The tune is an uptempo arrangement of “You Stepped Out Of A Dream”.
