Oscar Peterson
I heard tonight he has passed away at the age of 82. He was remarkably gifted and I will always regret that I never had a chance to see him perform live. We are left with his recordings. My favorite is A Summer Night in Munich, for some reason it just captures me every time I hear it.
Here is a small sample of his genius.
While your music is heard, you will never be forgotten.

Oscar Peterson is a favorite in our home. I'm still looking for Trio in Transition, an album or cassette we had in the 80's that was destroyed. As my husband said, Heaven has gained an amazing pianist.

I'd like to second the vote for "Trio in Transition". It was the first vinyl I bought in 1983 and I wore down the grooves on that baby transcribing solos. Would love to see that reissued in CD. The pianism of the guy was just astounding - his playing just sings joy.

Thanks for the recommendation Sue and Daniel! I'll keep my eyes open for that one, I haven't heard it. Maybe they'll start releasing more of his stuff on CD now.
