"EXCLUSIVELY FOR OSCAR"
Oscar Peterson & Jos van Beest.
Dr. Oscar E. Peterson
(1925 - 2007)
I was very fortunate to meet my hero
Dr. Oscar Peterson several times.
A gently giant with a warm personality
and a tremendously gifted jazzpianist.
He had the most phenomenal technique,
coupled with incredible harmonic perception,
along with impeccable time.
For me the greatest jazzpianist on earth and
one of the finest composers in comtemporary jazz.
"If there was a nobelprice for jazzpianists
Oscar Peterson
should get it".
My composition ;
"Exclusively For Oscar"
"is my way to express the admiration I have for Oscar".
