Euan Stevenson trio honors oscar peterson with “Daisy Chain (Live)''

With ''Daisy Chain (Live)'' the Euan Stevenson Trio delivers a heartfelt tribute to one of jazz piano’s most influential figures, the late Oscar Peterson. Built as an original 12-bar blues composition, the track celebrates Peterson’s enduring legacy while allowing Stevenson’s own musical voice to shine through.

The performance carries a deep sense of admiration without feeling imitative. Stevenson thoughtfully incorporates elements inspired by Peterson’s celebrated approach, particularly through the solo structure, while maintaining a fresh and engaging identity. The result is a piece that feels both respectful and creatively independent.

As a live recording, the track gains an added layer of authenticity. There is an immediacy to the performance that highlights the trio’s chemistry and appreciation for jazz tradition. Rather than merely looking backwards, “Daisy Chain (Live)” serves as a reminder of how great influences continue to inspire new artistic expression. It is a thoughtful, skillfully executed homage that bridges generations through the timeless language of the blues.
