Passed away aged 82. Phenomenal technique, if not to everyone's taste.

How sad. Watching/listening to Oscar Peterson Trio on early BBC2 programmes was one of the things that got me into jazz as a youth. I only ever bought the one album of his from that time, still got it.

This is sad news. I`m no jazz buff but I loved his sound. RIP Oscar.
