Excellent...and I'm not much of a jazz fan.One of the comments on youtube says that a he's from a town near Montreal.To quote a funny South Park episode (Terence & Phillip) he must be from *southern* Canada. ;-)

Oscar Peterson is my all time favorite jazz piano player. I learned of him through WEMU in Ypsilanti, MI when one evening they were playing a track from his album. “Night Child” on the Pablo label. It may be the only album where Oscar uses electric piano. The track was “Teenager” with Joe Pass on guitar, Louie Bellson on drums. Can’t recall the pass player’s name. His chops are unmistakable in their precision and expression.

Thanks for posting this. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Sounds like someone bumped a mic toward the end. Oh well. Such is life in the real world.
