One of the most amazing talents in jazz. And then joined by Neils Orsted Pederson & Ray Brown on bass.
Truly a fantastic jazz/musical experience.

As a trivial point. I'm sure that you know Oscar Peterson was a Canadian.
it really doesn't matter where he was from, he was brilliant. Thanks for posting.

As a fellow Canadian this gentleman is and has always been my favourite in this musical field. Thank you for the posting. Also. I don’t know if you have heard but the Canadian government has just released a commemorative coin here in Canada (legal tender) honouring this gentleman. The first time any musician has had this done in my country. Tis quite an honor for one of our true national treasures.

Thanks for the info and reply. Yes, another UHH Canadian also mentioned the commemorative coin. Quite an honor for his memory.
