Oscar Peterson
City Lights: The Oscar Peterson Quartet — Live in Munich, 1994 (Test Pressing)
Throughout his decades-long career, Oscar Peterson accomplished the near impossible: greatness with every note played and the acquisition of new generations of fans worldwide, regardless of the obstacles life threw at him. In 1994, only one year after suffering a stroke that rendered his left hand weakened, Peterson took the stage in Munich to prove to his collaborators, fans, and himself, that his earned title of “Maharaja of the keyboard” by Duke Ellington still rang true. By reinventing his playing style at 68 years old, he demonstrated his undiminished inventive prowess with an all-star band including Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (bass), Lorne Lofsky (guitar) and Martin Drew (drums).
ABOUT TEST PRESSINGS
Actual test pressing may differ from image in label design, markings, packaging, and other production details.
Before the large-scale production of a vinyl record, a small number of copies are pressed to test quality and fine-tune any audio that may need adjustment. Once this process is approved, Mack Avenue makes an extremely limited quantity of these test pressings available to the general public. Packaged in a simple white jacket, these collectible test pressings are available in extremely limited quantities. Bring home a rare version of your favorite album today!
