Mack The Knife - Oscar Peterson 1974
This is a duo performance by Oscar Peterson together with one of his favourite bass players Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. This was recorded in 1974 in Prague.
The film crew did a fantastic job. Can you imagine having a seat in a chair next to Oscar and Niels and be able to get the full impact of these two magic jazz masters?
I'm always totally taken that even on the small section of the computer screen one can get the full musical impact, particularily if one connects the computer sound output via an amplifier into top notch speakers or headphones.
Just to watch and listen to these giants through the best possible sound reproduction makes it worth investing in such equipment.
I did and it has been worth every penny

Je trouve vaine cette éternelle comparaison entre Oscar Peterson et Art Tatum: c'est comme comparer Bach et Beethoven: ça n'a pas de sens. A un niveau pareil de génie, c'est une affaire de goût. Pour ma part je préfère de très loin la musique d'Oscar, mais je reconnais le génie d'Art, bien sûr.11 years ago

Ray Brown reportedly told Oscar there was one guy in Europe who might be able to keep up with him...I saw them as a duo about a month before Chicago's London House closed, the site of the '60's blue Note live recordings with Brown and Thigpen...12 years ago

This must be one of the first concerts that OP and Niels did together. George Mraz couldn't go back to Prague, because he fled from regime and Ray Brown recommended Niels for the tour, and stayed with OP, until Niels passed away in 2004. Marvellous couple!12 years ago
