Oscar Peterson in the MPS years - the German label period, recorded in Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer's famous Villingen studio, where the producer's obsessive miking and the pianist's obsessive command met to create a piano sound that made these records audiophile legends on release and keeps them so today. Another Day delivers the full Peterson guarantee: technique beyond argument, swing beyond resistance, the trio machine humming at a precision that would be cold if the joy were not so obviously genuine - and it is, in every run and shout chorus. The MPS sessions caught him relaxed and generous, playing for an engineer who worshipped the instrument as much as he did, often after dinner in the Brunner-Schwer living room, and the intimacy carries into the grooves.

Japanese pressing of German audiophile source material: quality compounded on quality. For piano lovers this is comfort food of the highest conceivable grade - executed at a level nobody else quite reached, before or since.
