Goodbye Oscar Peterson

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ebo12xg4ws

Observe his flying fingers, it's beautiful! Jazz pianist born in Montreal, Peterson died a day before Christmas (last Monday), at age 82. He is one of my favorite jazz musicians and he's played alongside the giants of jazz including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Roy Eldridge, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington.

This clip is entitled "goodbye" - both a very appropriate and intense piece.
