With the passing of Oscar Peterson, I thought it would be great to hear some of your favorites. For me no one even came close to Oscar Peterson. He had the speed and agility of Bud and Monk, and the grace of Bill evans and brubeck. He had no equal.
I discovered Oscar Peterson years ago on a PBS studio performance with his trio. I am in complete agreement with the OP. I have heard many fine jazz pianists, but for me, he has no equal.
Two recent album finds: David Benoit, Waiting For Spring. Found while searching Emily Remler. She plays guitar here. Michael Wolff, Jumpstart. Found while searching Christian Mcbride. He plays Bass, with Tony Williams on drums.
