S.O.D. "C Jam Blues" by Oscar Peterson

2/11/2018     I believe a certain cool somebody wanted to hear piano jazz. Well here you go. This piano monster left us in 2007 but what a mark he made.  During a career that lasted more than 60 years he played concerts all over the world, thousands actually, and released over 200 recordings. His awards are practically impossible to count. One of the first musicians we have come across to belong to the Juno Awards Hall of Fame. Peterson was the very first recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Lifetime Achievement Award from the Black Theater Workshop.  A master of every instrument that had keys, Duke Ellington referred to him as the “Maharajah of the keyboard.”
