R.I.P Oscar Peterson........... one of the very best....

jazz pianists ever, ever, ever.
So I don't want any of you Christmas dumb-clucks saying, "Who...?"
A sad night in the D.I.L. household. Such a huge talent, and a huge favourite of mine, now gone forever.
Try a little listen to this, it may not be your thing, but appreciate the virtuosity if you can.

Never heard of him .

I have now. I wanted to do lots of jokes about not finding the key. I won't bother.

Superb.

 

As a bass player Im gobsmacked. A great musician whos passing has put a bit of a downer on a good day.

 

Still sad.... but hey, merry xmas to one and all. Let's be positive. nt
