Toured with Ray Brown did he. We lost Ray Brown a couple years ago. Played string bass like we wish we could. There’s probably tech ability out there like these two, but the feel of the era is history.
Dear Mr. Peterson - Once lived - your musical phrasing present a voice of love, a touch of class, a cascade of elegance against a jazz backdrop of rythm and blues.
How can I thank-you enough for opening the windows of heaven and setting the table for the likes of Billie and Bird, Louie and Ella, Dizzy and Pass.
Can I ever release you and let you go?
I can’t.
I will continue to go back again and again re-living each lovely turn.
And I will shed a tear, and thank the good Lord, knowing all things must pass.
And I can hope the love I feel each time I hear your gracious and tender voice, the music of your soul mixed with His anointing oil, will spill over and lighten up one more captive heart and lead it to that secret place where death cannot reach and sorrow will no longer need the comfort of your sound.
