This Week on Piano Jazz: "Oscar Peterson"
 
Oscar Peterson
Oscar Peterson
Pianist Oscar Peterson was one of the giants of jazz piano. Fast fingers and a hard-wired sense of swing defined Peterson and made him a favorite musical partner for everyone from Ella to Dizzy to Herbie Hancock. On this program from 1998, Peterson demonstrates his deft touch and amazing technique on his own "Love Ballad," before joining McPartland on Ellington's "In a Mellow Tone."
