Can Music Be Perfect? Vol. 101
Lately it seems like I've been listening to at least one Oscar Peterson YouTube every night. There's a surprising number of them out there. All of a sudden he is my favorite musician. Peterson knew his Bach, and you can hear it in this 1964 version of C Jam Blues, as he passes the counterpoint between left and right hands. But always rooted in the blues, and always swinging. Swinging is underappreciated. Supported by his classic trio-mates, Ed Thigpen and Ray Brown.
