 Good article and plug for a video about him:

Personally, I think Oscar is the best; this video convinced me:

 In November of last year, Mack Avenue released a 2 CD or 3 LP recording of the Oscar Peterson Quartet recorded live in Helsinki in 1987 entitled A Time for Love. Mr. Peterson is not forgotten. Great album.

Ciao,

 Sent my buddy a Bill Henderson with the Oscar Peterson Trio last week and saw a Oscar Peterson with Ralph Moore and Roy Hargrove in my collection today. May pull it out. Oscar can hold his old with the bluegrass guys but Roy never reached that level and Ralph has fallen short.
