Today, jazz legend Oscar Peterson passed away. He played along side most of the greats of jazz and established himself as one of those greats during the 1950's with the formation of the the Oscar Peterson trio. His contribution to jazz was immense and he will be long remembered by those that know and love the music. My personal experience with Oscar's music was learning to play his signature piece the "Canadiana Suite". My piano skills being considerably less than what the piece calls...

My favorite fingerstyle guitar player. Very funky. Great composer too. Link I've seen him live. I've got all the records. I've even been to a few of his workshops. Someday I hope to get to where he is.
