The trio then traveled to Japan for their first and last concert as "The Trio" at Otemachi Sankei Hall on June 2, 1965, when Peterson was at the height of his powers with Ray Brown and Ed Sigpen in tow.The live performance and the audience response were excellent, as this was the first European tour after the release of such hit albums as "Night Train" (1964 Verve) and "Please Request" (1964 Verve). Starting with "Waltz for Debby," the band played familiar standards with great gusto. The year 2025 marks the 100th anniversary of Peterson's birth.
