Farewell, Oscar Peterson

Oscar Peterson, one of the all-time jazz greats, passed away yesterday at age 82. The man was pure legend, whose influence is still felt in the jazz community today. He used to get some heat for playing too fast, but that was the magic of it all. Jazz isn't meanto to sound like Kenny G. Here's Oscar in tip-top form back in 1958 with his trio which included Herb Ellis and Ray Brown. Enjoy.
