Jazz legend Oscar Peterson dies

[Snowflake]

One of the most memorable concerts I ever attended was an evening with Oscar Peterson Trio and Ella Fitzgerald with the Paul Smith Trio.

Oscar was incredible, he opened for Ella, and played terrific stuff, standards and his own standards. He was the personification of joy at the keyboard.

I do not have nearly enough of his recordings, thank God he left us many.

Thanks MBC for posting this, an artist or great merit who will be sorely missed, but who left us such a great legacy. Excuse me now while I put something on the stereo now. Bon Voyage Oscar.
