Oscar Peterson

[David Love]

One thing is certain, if you can't hear it you'll never play it.  Peterson
was one of the true greats, maybe the greatest jazz pianist ever.  I'm
saddened not only that you can't appreciate it, but that unable to
appreciate it or understand it you choose to denigrate not only the music
but the man.  On a day such as this is, and when the world mourns the loss
of a true legend, shame on you.

I listened to this all the way through. 

I never could get used to this form of jazz because WHERE THE HELL IS THE
MELODY ?

I really don't play BUT I could probably come up with something like he is
doing!

No offense to anyone who likes this form of jazz but being my teenage years
was the 60's and 70's, this sounds like something composed on cocaine or
pot.
