Released as part of his centennial celebration, this collection draws from previously unheard live recordings spanning 1969 to 1981, showcasing Peterson in solo, duo, and trio settings. Issued by Mack Avenue in collaboration with Two Lions Records, it offers a rare, unfiltered look at his evolving artistry - where technical brilliance meets spontaneous, deeply felt expression.

Performances like Blues For Big Scotia and Satin Doll highlight his signature blend of swing and elegance, while On Green Dolphin Street unfolds with fluid improvisation and rhythmic finesse. Whether अके at the keys or in conversation with collaborators, Peterson commands each moment with clarity, speed, and unmistakable warmth. The shifting settings - from Detroit to Basel to Auckland and Toronto - add a sense of movement and global connection throughout.

This vinyl pressing brings those live moments into sharp, intimate focus, preserving the nuance of each performance. Around The World stands as both discovery and tribute - a vivid reminder that Oscar Peterson’s genius wasn’t confined to the studio, but fully alive wherever there was a piano and an audience ready to listen.
