RIP Oscar Peterson 1925-2007… With this special session we pay humble tribute to a true master of the art of jazz. During the latter half of my teens, Oscar Peterson had a profound affect on my life… silver and black Verve wax would be in continuous rotation on the turntable, taking me on that wonderful, colourful and emotional soundscape ride of pure jazz perfection. Playing his albums over and over, slowly, the keystrokes would melt into shapes of pure joy, or bend into weeping willows, such is the way Oscar Peterson makes the piano sing. Words like subtle, sublime, understated, majestic and perfection, can not even begin to describe this true genius of the ivory keys. If you ever want to understand Jass, start here… Most of the original Verve albums have fortunately now been reissued on CD and I recommend you buy any of them!!! Listen to this jazzcast with the lights off, the jasmine joss sticks burning and let the good vibes flow. Thank you Oscar Peterson for a first class performance, may you rest in Peace.
All tracks performed by Oscar Peterson, mostly during the 1950’s and 60’s, performers include Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Ed Thigpen, Charlie Smith, Irving Ashby, Milt Jackson and Stan Getz. Enjoy this 2 hour session…

In Woody Allen’s film “Play It Again, Sam” (One of his early, funny films), Allen puts on “Blues for Alan Felix”, written and performed by Oscar Peterson for the film, and the vinyl accidently gets launched across the room, with hilarious results… One of my favourite films…

Latin Jazz… and then some! A monster 2 hour session, with some very groovy tunes, this jazzcast reminds me of the garden parties my parents used to give in the 70s, if only they had been pot smoking hippies ;-) Some dance floor killers, some cocktail fillers and something for the ladies, it’s all good! Enjoy…

Exploring… hear we visit Africa, Latin America, India, Outer Space and Inner Space with some extended explorations for your earthly powers… seminal album cuts including Dee Dee Bridgwater’s “Afro Blue” and Pharoah Sanders’ “The Creator Has A Master Plan”.
