Jazz Icons - Oscar Peterson - Live In '63, '64 And '65 (2008) #665
MUSIC
Main
Oscar Peterson (1925-2007) had but one peer on jazz piano, and that was Art Tatum. While greatly influenced by Tatum, Peterson nevertheless developed into the superior blues player of the two. A veteran of Norman Granz's Jazz At The Philharmonic concerts before the end of the '50s, Peterson would evolve through the 1950s to lead perhaps the finest piano trio in jazz history, the one that included bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb Ellis. This format mimicked that same successful one devised by Nat King Cole in the 1940s. Eventually, Ellis would leave, the guitar replaced by drums, initially those of Ed Thigpen. |
