Oscar Peterson, of course. Hard to classify this exclusively as jazz - elements of Debussy and Chopin are there. Plus tone clusters and chord inversions from Schoenberg. Exquisite rubato passages; no one could match Oscar's phrasing.
R.I.P. OP - you were the very best of them all.

This is my favorite piece by Oscar. It is so touching, beautiful, and innovative. I have a CD which features this melody and many of his others. He was a master of improvisation, and the world lost a true genius when he left us....the pride of Canada.

Thanks,
TC

Keith Emerson played against Oscar and Oscar made Keith's piano playing seem like child's play. Oscar was "incredible" on the piano!!!!!!!!!

"Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they're trying to say with jazz. You don't need any prologues, you just play."

Always a master of the exquisite, of somehow clever overwhelming subtleties, at the same time OP could rock the house in any style he chose. Can't count the number of times he brought me to my feet. Just trying to imitate his style forced you bow to his genius and recognize his roots in Art Tatum, so much like father and son. There will never be such grace and mastery at the keyboard again.

@tonycurti1 - Well said, Tony. As Ray Charles put it, "Oscar Peterson is the best of them all. Oscar can play his ass off!" Words of wisdom. Thanks for stopping by.
