Joe Muscara Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 With appearances by Herbie, Quincy, Billy Joel(!), Ramsey Lewis, and probably others. Embedded video at the link, hopefully general distribution after the TIFF. Oscar Peterson: Black + White Quote "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

drawback Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks for the heads up, Joe! Often compared to Tatum, he was more bluesy and his sound was so compressed and powerful. I liked how he kept his band more or less intact, too. One of my biggest regrets is not seeing Oscar on what would have been his last Canadian tour.

MAJUSCULE Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Yes, thanks for the share, Joe. I'll have to get back on Crave to catch this. I also wish I had seen him. I have a crystal clear memory of listening to the CBC memorial tribute on the way to a bantam hockey game. Hymn To Freedom played while we drove under the railroad overpass on Fort Road. At the very least, I've seen Robi Botos and Chris Andrew do their best take on Oscar, and that's already a privilege to bear witness to.
