Oscar Peterson was a jazz monster and had hands the size of a gorilla.
I’ve tried somewhat unsuccessfully to play some of his stuff over the years.
Yeah, right. Maybe in another life.
Sleep well, OP.
You will be greatly missed . . .
Check out the video below with fellow jazz legend Joe Pass.
And yes, I found the best sounding video possible.
You’ve come to expect that, haven’t you?

Oh my gosh, not another one? If tradition follows, we’ve got one more ‘great’ to go. I’d like to see/hear you do some OP – yep, I’d pay for that. 😉

I heard about this on the radio station I listen to from Phila. Not being a jazz musician authority, I didn’t know who he was. But they did play some of his music. I thought of you too. I suspected I’d see something here from you about ole Oscar.
Happy New Year!!

I hadn’t heard of him up until this point, but I’m completely spellbound by that video. You have to wonder about people like him. I mean, in a good way of course. He must think in musical notes. And those piano keys just… Make sense to him.
It’s incredible to see that at work. He’ll be missed.

Once again you have opened my eyes to another realm of the music world that i didn’t know existed. It saddens me to find this music great after his passing.
Thank you for the vid and for showing me 2 legends in action.
