Unsurpassed greatness

Madeline Sanders Aug 20, 2009

Although music was not mycollege major, I nonetheless possess a natural talent for the piano. That said, Oscar Peterson was hands down a master of the keyboard; the sheer complexity his arrangements and the ability to bring it all together was a skill that a very few possess. My favorites: Tenderly and Night Train are tunes that I still go out of my way to hear played by Oscar. And, some of my best memories of his performances were Ravinia in Highland Park, IL and, oh my goodness, his appearance at the University of California, Berkeley. Maybe in my lifetime I'll meet another jazz pianist with the masterful skill of an Oscar Peterson. Thank you.
