Quando Oscar Peterson arrivò al Baker's Keyboard Lounge di Detroit all'inizio di agosto 1960 per un ingaggio di due settimane, il trio del formidabile pianista, con il grande amico degli esordi Ray Brown al contrabbasso e Ed Thigpen alla batteria, aveva ormai raggiunto il vertice della creatività: l’intesa telepatica e lo swing debordante dei tre assi travolgeva il pubblico.
La registrazione di At Baker's Keyboard Lounge (raccolta nel volgere di un unico, incredibile venerdì sera…) avrebbe dovuto essere un album live per l’etichetta Verve, ma non fu mai pubblicato.

Registrazione inedita per il trio di Oscar Peterson, incisa a Zurigo nel 1971. Serata da ricordare con Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen al basso e Louis Hayes alla batteria.

Oscar Peterson canta. Un disco dove, al contrario del solisto, il pianista diventa cantante. Decisamente originale.

2 CD. Eccellente performance inedita di Oscar Peterson con il suo quartetto (Joe Pass, Dave Young, Martin Drew, registrata ad Helsinki nel 1987. Peterson esegue una serie di standards come Cool Walk, Salute to Bach, A Time For Love, How High The Moon, Waltz For Debby, When You Wish Upon A Star, Duke Ellington Medley.

In 1955, Lucien Morisse, program director at Europe 1, had the idea to welcome the greatest jazz musicians among the artists performing in the "Musicorama" Shows. Later on, numerous jazz concerts were organized in Paris and broadcast as part of our radio program "For Those Who Love Jazz". Thus we had the pleasure to feature all the musicians who created, defined and contributed to expand the afro-american music in the years 1955 to 1980. Among thousands hours of jazz, recorded by Europe 1, and never previously issued on albums or CD, we have picked up some of the most memorable moments to share today the pleasure of enjoying them with you.
