If I was chanced to ask Oscar Petersson one thing before he died, I would have asked him for his piano talent. You are really missed Oscar Petersson :(

Who does these arrangements, this takes me totally by surprize(?) It is very special, frilly and curt, deep blue and stagy all at once? Magistral

@Andreeeiiii Sorry I didnt mean that you didnt understand it I meant to say that its an acquired taste
-
who says i don´t understand monk?
i just don´t like his style of playing
his compositions are legandary

@Andreeeiiii Monk my very first teacher told me that he had a monk tape that literally sat on a book shelf for over 15 years before he listened to it and started to understand it. Mine sat in a box for 10 before I really started to grasp the concepts. Dont worry one day it will all come together.

It's not by Oscar himself. It is by Thelonious Monk.
-
I guess I shouldn't be surprised- they were both supertalents. I don't see Oscar as an egomanic.

One of my all-time favorite jazz compositions by my all-time favorite jazz artist. What could be better. R.I.P. Oscar Peterson. You will be missed.
Farewell to a giant in the music world.

This is a very nice piece & suitable for this unfortunate occasion; I was surprised to hear this as I recalled reading how Oscar was averse to Monk's musical stylings to the extent of choosing not to play his music. I was glad to have seen him in concert a couple of times in NY & Philly some years back; he left some big shoes to fill in the jazz world.
