Peterson was a very humble, gentle Christian man. I saw him a few times. He cam off the stage in Manhattan and shook our hands and thanked us for coming


Definitely he is the greatest jazz musician born outside the U.S. (Sorry, Django)

I'll just drop this here. If you're not a huge student of Jazz, Rick Beato explains this insane Oscar solo: Best solo ever?

I read a story once about another jazz pianist who, when he was up-and-coming in the south and midwest, would bill himself as “the world’s greatest jazz pianist.”

According to the story, this person (who’s name I can’t bring to mind) heard Oscar Peterson play, and he stopped describing himself using those words, permanently.
