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.
I just cannot make a true 'favorite' distinction between the (IMhO)best of all,Gene Harris and Oscar Peterson.So, they, in my mind, are dead even tied for best ever.
I'm with the Ahmad Jamal suggestion..seems he's almost universally overlooked & yet he's been around for a very long time. The Essence 1 & 3 cd's are excellent. Also Jessica Williams. Great recordings too. Monk, Evans, Red Garland, all great.
