 Oscar Peterson: A Jazz Giant |
|||
  
|
|||
Oscar Peterson is a giant in every sense of the word. Standing well over 6 feet, he's even been mistaken for a football player. But there's no mistaking his brilliance on the keyboard. His dazzling technique combined with his swinging style has made the Montreal native, as one critic remarked, the best damn jazz pianist in the whole world. |
