• 3-CDs in deluxe hardback

• includes 100-page commemorative book

In 2015, a special 3-CD 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 Bösendorfer Imperial piano, and then released the recordings as a deluxe collector’s edition, featuring an extensive 100+ page commemorative book, and as a standard 3-CD digipak package.

The set showcases Oscar Peterson as a composer and includes the world première 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.
