Oscar, With Love: The Songs of Oscar Peterson (3 CD)
In 2015, a special album set, Oscar, With Love, was released to observe the 90th birthday of jazz piano legend Oscar Peterson
(1925-2007). To honor her late husband, Kelly Peterson assembled some of the most celebrated jazz artists in the world to
perform and record on the luminary’s prized personal piano, then released the recordings as a deluxe collector’s edition,
featuring an extensive 100+ page commemorative book, and as a standard album digipak package. Oscar, With Love not only
features compositions previously unreleased by Peterson, but all are performed in Peterson’s home studio on his Bösendorfer
Imperial piano. Never has there been such a recording, various artists performing on the personal instrument of a jazz legend.
The set showcases Oscar Peterson as a composer and includes the world premiere of several pieces he wrote but never recorded; the compositions were retrieved from Peterson’s library for the project. Most of the music on the recording was written by Peterson, or for him by some of his closest musical friends. It is these friends and colleagues who performed on the recording.
