Oscar Peterson has given me uncounted hours of pleasure since I discovered him as a teen-ager in the 1950s.

Now he's playing with Ray Brown again. RIP Oscar and thank you so much.

The tune at 4.24 is called 'Oh them Golden Slippers'. An American Song from the deep south I am told by an old friend of mine!

I'm sorry i don't know that one. I'll try and find out though.
