OSCAR PETERSON: Music in the Key of Oscar

This DVD is jam packed with music, rare footage, home movies, multiple DVD Bonus Features, and in-depth interviews with a Who's Who of Jazz legends including Ella Fitzgerald and Quincy Jones. This comprehensive documentary film is destined to become a classic. Highlighted in this treasure trove of musical gems is the reunion of the legendary Oscar Peterson Trio (bassist Ray Brown, guitarist Herb Ellis, and Oscar on Piano) after a twenty-year hiatus. And almost as memorable as the music is the voice of the man himself, passionately and articulately guiding us through his unfolding musical and personal evolution.

Some of this film's musical highlights include a performance with Count Basie, Caravan, Gentle Waltz, Boogie Woogie, Tiny's Exercise (by Art Tatum), Tenderly, Sweet Loraine (by Nat King Cole), Hymn to Freedom, Bag's Groove, Place St. Henri, Perdido (with Cleo Lane & John Dankworth), March Past, Nightmare, Hallelujah Time, Nigerian Marketplace, Lonesome One… and more.

From concert performances and revealing insight from Oscar himself to enlightening interviews with a profusion of American musical icons, this DVD, Oscar Peterson: Music in the Key of Oscar, not only serves as the foremost documentary of the pianist, but as a testament to the undeniable legacy of legendary Jazz pianist and composer, Oscar Peterson.
