I cannot imagine living the life I have lived without Mr. Peterson. Have listened to him every day from 55 years ago, when I bought the first record with my babysitting money. Bless you forever, Sir.
With Art Blakey as the pulse, keeping the rhythm going, John Coltrane as it's voice, singing those fine melodies, Ellington as the brain, concocting the standards, and Count Basie as the bones, keeping everything tight and together in the Big Bands.
I really love your postings. Oscar Peterson was amazing. I am relatively new to Jazz, but I have heard Pete Townsend do a song called Ode to Barney Kessel. Nice to put a face with the name.

It is 2 early by December 23 after Oscar Peterson left for the distance of the eternity.
I want to thank the parents who brought up Oscar! I want to thank for Norman Grantz which the world introduced Oscar to!
And I want to thank for Oscar Peterson which grew up in historic Pianist in response to expectation!
