I am not a big jazz fan but I have listened to Oscar Peterson and always enjoyed his music. From what I've read about him, he really was a charmingly nice guy and, as Martian points out, one of the greats.
I read about his death online and then in a local paper... Amazingly the obit in the local paper ran a picture of BB King instead of Peterson. I guess all large, black musicians look alike.
