Oscar Peterson 1925-2007, RIP
For those who haven't yet heard, after a long illness Oscar Peterson passed away Sunday. He was 82 years old.
I don't really know what to say. The world has lost one of the greats; Peterson influenced many contemporary pianists, including Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.
He will be missed.
