With the passing of Oscar Peterson, I thought it would be great to hear some of your favorites. For me no one even came close to Oscar Peterson. He had the speed and agility of Bud and Monk, and the grace of Bill evans and brubeck. He had no equal.
The answer that requires the least qualification on my part is Thelonious Monk. I find his work the most consistently surprising, exhilirating and just plain fun. In fact, he is my favorite musician ever.
