Aaaahh...

Music for adults. No posturing, no tantrums, just taking pleasure in still being here.

Oscar Peterson's music makes me happy, happy.

I've got this track on a 1990 Telarc label album called 'Saturday Night at the Blue Note" -- loved it for years. But, the YouTube version you had posted works much better with slower tempo and purer theme exposition at the beginning.

The man possessed utterly amazing pianism -- largely due to his having being classically trained. Truly a Canuck National Treasure.

Amongst classical pianists, André Previn isn't a bad jazz pianist either.
