Jazz great Oscar Peterson died December 23 at age 82 at his home in Mississauga, Ont. The legendary pianist, known for his seemingly magical hands, played alongside jazz giants including Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Roy Eldridge, Nat King Cole, Stan Getz, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. Trevor noted, “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Oscar. . . Along with Art Tatum, Oscar was the finest jazz pianist ever.”
Peace.
