Oscar Peterson was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Peterson began playing piano at a young age and quickly gained recognition for his technical prowess and improvisational skills. Throughout his career, he recorded over 200 albums and collaborated with numerous renowned musicians. His distinctive style combined elements of swing, bebop, and blues, earning him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Peterson's contributions to jazz music continue to inspire aspiring musicians around the world.

With a career spanning over six decades, Oscar Peterson left an indelible mark on the jazz genre. His virtuosic piano playing captivated audiences worldwide, showcasing his impeccable technique and inventive improvisation. From his early days performing in clubs to sharing stages with legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, Peterson's talent shone through every note he played.

Not only known for his remarkable solo performances, Oscar Peterson also led various trios throughout his career. These trios featured some of the finest bassists and drummers in jazz history, creating tight-knit ensembles that showcased their collective brilliance. Together they crafted dynamic arrangements that pushed boundaries while remaining accessible to listeners.

Recorded in 1970 in the legendary MPS studio, Another Day features the lesser-known trio constellation of Oscar Peterson himself on piano, George Mraz on bass, and Ray Price on drums. While Peterson, who was 45, was still at the peak of his powers and world famous in 1970, the new members of his trio were virtually unknown to his fans of the period. But especially bassist Mraz would soon grow popular himself, appear on over 200 sessions including around 20 as a leader and his endless resume included associations with Stan Getz, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra, Bill Evans, Tommy Flanagan, Joe Henderson and countless others. The Peterson-Mraz-Price trio lasted for about a year, recording this album as well as the famous Walking The Line.

Another Day has plenty of highlights, one surely being “All The Things You Are”, which is one of Peterson’s most streamed tracks. The performances show that this overlooked version of the Oscar Peterson Trio could hold its own with its more famous predecessors.

Remastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Christoph Stickel, this release offers an intensive look into the trios’ dynamic, inviting enthusiasts to finally Peterson album
