Oscar Peterson

Oscar Petersonis a world-renowned jazz pianist. His name and his music are known around the world. He has been recognized as one of the jazz greats for the past half century. What is not well known is that he has been a passionate photographer since childhood, and still continues today to pursue his second art‚ photography.
I had long heard about his involvement with photography, and though we both have lived in Toronto for many years, we had never met until recently. Two things brought us together. Firstly, it turns out that we have had a common friend for the past quarter century‚ Brian George‚ a professional photographic equipment salesperson with whom we have both spent more money over the years than either of us would like to remember. And, it turns out that Oscar has been a fan of my web site for some time, and he recently became a subscriber toThe Video Journal.
