Location:Kelowna, British Columbia, CanadaMack 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.
