Oscar Peterson was born August 15, 1925 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His parents were immigrants from the British West Indies and Virgin Islands. His father, Da niel Peterson, was boatswain on a merchant ship when he met Olivia John in Montr eal, where she worked as a cook and housekeeper for an English family. Daniel ga ve up the sailing work and began working as a porter for the Canadian Pacific Ra ilway. He and Olivia married and stayed in Montreal as their family grew. Oscar was the fourth of five children. Their father insisted that they all learn a musical instrument, and Oscar began to study the trumpet. A childhood bout of tuberculosis forced a fortuitous switch to the piano, under the tutelage of his father and his older sister, Daisy. It soon became apparent that Oscar s talent s urpassed the capabilities of home teaching, and he was sent first to teacher Lou Hooper and then to the gifted Hungarian classical pianist, Paul deMarky. A warm and respectful musical friendship developed between the two, and with Mr. deMar ky s guidance Oscar s mastery of the instrument grew, along with his dedication to a nd command of his talent. The performance career of Oscar Peterson began while he was still a young teenag er in high school, as pianist with the Johnny Holmes Orchestra in Montreal. Afte r a few years with the Orchestra, he formed his own trio, the first in a format he maintained throughout his lifelong career. With the trio, he quickly gained f ame and popularity throughout Canada. His appearances at the Alberta Lounge in M ontreal were broadcast live on the radio. In 1949 impresario Norman Granz heard one of those broadcasts, went to the Alberta Lounge and enticed Mr. Peterson int o making a surprise guest appearance with Granz all-star Jazz at the Philharmonic t Carnegie Hall later that year. Leaving the audience awestruck, Oscar joined JA TP in 1950 as a full-time touring member. He formed a piano-bass duo with Ray Br own as well, and began recording for Granz at the same time. He also added Barne y Kessel as the first of the guitarists with whom he would create trios, returni ng to the group format he loved. He was voted Jazz Pianist of the Year in 1950 by the Downbeat Readers Poll, a tit le he garnered for an additional twelve years. He toured the globe extensively w ith Jazz at the Philharmonic as well as with his own trio. During the busy touring years in the early 1960s he founded a jazz school in Tor onto called the Advanced School of Contemporary Music. This attracted students f rom all over the world. For a few months each year he and his trio, along with P hil Nimmons, a clarinetist from Toronto, would conduct classes at the school. Th e demands of his touring schedule forced closure of the school after a few years , but students still fondly recall their experiences there. Oscar Peterson began composing while still a member of the Johnny Holmes Orchest ra, and as time progressed he devoted more and more time to composition, while s till maintaining a vigorous performance schedule. His Hymn To Freedom became one o f the crusade songs of the Civil Rights Movement led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the United States. It is still performed frequently by choirs worldwide. He also composed a salute to his beloved Canada, The Canadiana Suite, in the early 1960s. He has composed music for motion pictures, including the Canadian film Bi g North, made for Ontario Place in Toronto, and the feature film The Silent Partne r, for which he won the Genie Award (Canadian Oscar award) for best original film score in 1978. He composed work for the National Film Board of Canada. His coll aboration with filmmaker Norman McLaren on the film Begone Dull Care won awards al l over the world. He composed the soundtrack for the film Fields of Endless Day, a bout U.S. slaves using the Underground Railroad to escape to Canada. Other compo sitional projects include a jazz ballet, a suite called Africa, and the Easter Sui te, commissioned by the BBC in London and broadcast live on Good Friday in 1984, with annual broadcasts after that. A Salute to Bach for the composer s 300th birthd ay, premiered with trio and orchestra at Toronto s Roy Thomson Hall in 1985. He co mposed a suite for the Olympic Arts Festival of the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1

988, and music for the opening ceremony of the Skydome in Toronto. In addition, Oscar Peterson composed more than 400 other pieces, many of which he performed a nd others continue to perform. Some of these compositions remain unpublished, bu t hopefully they will be published for future generations to hear. Oscar Peterson has an extensive discography of his trio and quartet recordings, as well as his recordings with many of the other jazz greats. His varied albums include recordings with Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Duke Elli ngton, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins and Joe Pass. His worldwide performances and his recordings, particularly those with his trio s and quartets, brought him recognition from numerous places all around the worl d. Mr. Peterson also made many television appearances during his lifetime. He hoste d five different talk show series, and Oscar s widespread appeal led to his interv iewing a variety of guests. The unusual range of personalities to appear on thes e programs included the former Prime Minister of England, the Rt. Hon. Sir Edwar d Heath, Twiggy, Anthony Burgess as well as many musicians. He also appeared in television commercials Tears Are Not Enough, a musical fundraiser for African fami ne relief. Preferring not to use his celebrity status to sway public opinions, Mr. Peterson nevertheless remained dedicated to the belief that his native Canada has a resp onsibility in leading the world in equality and justice. With this in mind, he t ook a firm stand to promote the cause of human rights fair treatment for Canada s multicultural community. In recognition of this effort, Mr. Peterson was promote d to Companion of the Order of Canada, Canada s highest civilian honor. He had bee n inducted as an Officer of the Order in 1972. During his life and career Mr. Peterson received many awards and honors. These i nclude the Praemium Imperiale (the Arts equivalent of the Nobel Prize, presented by the Japan Art Association), the UNESCO International Music Prize, 8 Grammy A wards (including a Lifetime Achievement Grammy), the 1993 Glenn Gould Prize, of which he was the third recipient, the first chosen by unanimous decision and the first ever non-classical musician, and many honorary degrees. Despite a stroke in 1993 that debilitated his left hand, Oscar Peterson was dete rmined to continue performing, recording and composing. Within a year he had rec overed and resumed his worldwide concert appearance schedule. Oscar Peterson lived in the quiet city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. His hobb ies included fishing, photography and astronomy. He was an avid audiophile and s ynthesist, as music was not only his profession but also his hobby. His home con tained his own private recording studio, allowing him to work and still enjoy hi s family life. His passion for life, love and music remained strong for his enti re life, and he continued to perform until shortly before his death. Oscar Peter son passed away at his home on the morning of December 23, 2007. His legacy live s on through his music.

review Recorded in Los Angeles in 1986, this very beautiful "live" disc presents Oscar Peterson in very good shape who plays with Joe Pass (guitar), Dave Young (bass) and Martin Drew (drums). Class and entertainment: it starts with "Cool walk" (Peterson), where piano and guitar talk very well. Sweetness : the second piece is the wonderful "Love balla de" (by Benny Goodman), a song very soft but which can produce very deep feeling

. I have tried to compare this version with that "solo piano" played ten years l ater by Oscar Peterson ("Live at the Salle Pleyel") : they are really very good both, I cannot choice one, try you please. The third piece ("Soft winds") comes back at atmosphere of first; in these songs we can appreciate better the rhythmi c section, very good. Fourth track is a "medley" that mixes three songs, and als o this time - as always in these situations - Peterson seems joke; the third son g is "Time after time" (by Jules Styne), that Peterson remakes with great invent ion and interprets like a very agreeable music, full of surprises. The disc ends with "On the trail", played with charm and again with so many different ideas! Very good the duet with Pass, listen that last crazy running, so speed and so pe rfect!
