THE OSCAR PETERSON TRIO CANADIANA SUITE, 2ND EDITION (PIANO)

n Peterson's own articulate voice we hear stories of the man who made the music and the times that made the man: making history with Norman Granz's Jazz at the Philharmonic, the clashes with racism that faced him and his racially-mixed trio, and a lifetime of performances with a who's-who of jazz. Insightful moments at the Peterson family's reunion disclose the personal price of greatness paid by Oscar and his relatives, distanced by the pianist's commitment to his music and his years of life on the road. A personal look at a technical virtuoso and master of swing whose life has been shaped by the ambition to honor his father's credo: 'Be the best.' 2 Tapes - 51 minutes each.

Performances with Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Quincy Jones, Norman Granz, Ray Brown, Herb Ellis and more
