Now that's an American Idol! People sometimes forget how great Oscar Peterson is because he is probably the best pianist since Art Tatum. You can see Tatum's influence on him. Just watch him walk thiteenths!!! Art Tatum was blind and learned on a player piano that did duets. Tatum didn't realize that. So he learned to play that way. Oscar was so amazing it just blows your mind.
Yes I love Bill Evans but this is a different style and it is just so hard to be that good. What a musician!
