Just saw the news that a jazz giant has passed. Oscar Peterson, (at the time) the only living Canadian besides a sitting ruler to be honored with a postage stamp, died yesterday at his home in Ontario.
Some of my most favorite music of all is the great “Oscar and…” albums on the old Pablo Records label. His collaborations with Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Pass, Clark Terry, and others still float my boat.
Think I’ll listen to some right now…
