OSCAR PETERSON: EXLUSIVELY FOR MY FRIENDS - THE LOST TAPES

Oscar Petersen himself claimed to have made his best recordings MPS. In the label's archives for were lost tapes from Peterson’s heydey. And lo and behold, a number of previously unreleased recordings were discovered which had been taped ''exclusively for my friends'' in the private studio in Villingen in 1965-1968.
These live sessions before a mere handful of listeners proves once again just how at home the musicians felt in the Black Forest villa – as is borne out by the fact that Peterson’s usual trio formation alternated with his stand-in musicians of bassist Sam Jones and drummer Bobby Durham.
These amazing tracks are available for the very first time on an LP filled with glorious sound.
