I'm searching in candles recordings of Oscar Peterson plays piano solo, alone, and I don't find anything except the album "Solo".
but it can't be the only solo album by Oscar Peterson, I can't believe it is.

Oh I'm sorry, English is not my native language.
There is a hebrew expression "Searching in candles", it means I do great efforts to find something and get poor results.
I thought(mistakenly I guess ) it can be translated to english.

This expression is translated as I hunt by a daylight with a candle

Apart from the ones already mentioned, I have the following DVD:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oscar-Pete...;sr=1-7&keywords=oscar+peterson+solo

Definitely one of my favorites! I also remember having seen another video, but I can't remember what it's called, so... I remember it being a broadcast from the BBC though and it was in a pretty small cafe kind of setting. Not sure that helps.

Lastly, I know there is a recording with Marian McPartland, which includes him playing solo, a duet, a solo by McPartland and conversation which I found quite interesting. I think it is the following:

Hope that helps!
