Oscar Peterson

[piannaman at aol.com]

 I'll second that.? Giving a chance to love great art--music in particular, imho--is a great gift to give anyone.? 

I always considered the blues-rooted genre of jazz practiced in varying styles by Peterson, Tatum and Waller to be a very accessible form of music.? It can be melodic, stays pretty tonal, playful, sentimental, joyous.? It runs the gamut of emotions.? It oozes soul.? 

Oscar will be missed in my little neck of the woods, that's for sure.

Insanely great taste, J.D.; three of the finest, funniest, sweetest, nastiest, most technically gifted, rooted-in-the-blues piano players ever.




Bravo for giving that gift to your daughter. Beautiful legacy....
