An Ode to Oscar Peterson

[OverHillandDale(Admin)]

It is with great sadness I pass along the news of the passing of the Great Oscar Peterson.

Here is a link to the news:

I was introduced to his music by my parents as I grew up. Mostly not really aware of what I was listening to then. But as I grew to appreciate jazz and pianiants more and more, he simply amazed me. It seems as if he had three hands or more than 10 fingers. Wow.

And I know he has influenced many a young and old piano (and keyboard) players along the way in many genres.

Thank you, Oscar, for sharing your Joy, with us.
