Â morePeterson started classical piano lessons when he was six and developed
quickly. After winning a talent show at 14, he began starring on a weekly radio
show in Montreal. Peterson picked up early experience as a teenager playing with
Johnny Holmes' Orchestra. From 1945-1949, he recorded 32 selections for Victor
in Montreal. Those trio performances find Peterson displaying a love for
boogie-woogie, which he would soon discard, and the swing style of Teddy Wilson
and Nat King Cole. His technique was quite brilliant even at that early stage,
and although he had not yet been touched by the influence of bop, he was already
a very impressive player. Granz discovered Peterson in 1949 and soon presented
him as a surprise guest at a Jazz at the Philharmonic concert. Peterson was
recorded in 1950 on a series of duets with either Ray Brown or Major Holley on
bass; his version of "Tenderly" became a hit. Peterson's talents were quite
obvious, and he became a household name in 1952 when he formed a trio with
guitarist Barney Kessel and Brown. Kessel tired of the road and was replaced by
Herb Ellis the following year. The Peterson-Ellis-Brown trio, which often toured
with JATP, was one of jazz's great combos from 1953-1958. Their complex yet
swinging arrangements were competitive -- Ellis and Brown were always trying to
outwit and push the pianist -- and consistently exciting. In 1958, when Ellis
left the band, it was decided that no other guitarist could fill in so well, and
he was replaced (after a brief stint by Gene Gammage) by drummer Ed Thigpen. In
contrast to the earlier group, the Peterson-Brown-Thigpen trio (which lasted
until 1965) found the pianist easily the dominant soloist. Later versions of the
group featured drummers Louis Hayes (1965-1966), Bobby Durham (1967-1970), Ray
Price (1970), and bassists Sam Jones (1966-1970) and George Mraz (1970).

In 1960, Peterson established the Advanced School of Contemporary Music in
Toronto, which lasted for three years. He made his first recorded set of
unaccompanied piano solos in 1968 (strange that Granz had not thought of it)
during his highly rated series of MPS recordings. With the formation of the
Pablo label by Granz in 1972, Peterson was often teamed with guitarist Joe Pass
and bassist Niels Pedersen. He appeared on dozens of all-star records, made five
duet albums with top trumpeters (Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Harry "Sweets"
Edison, Clark Terry, and Jon Faddis), and teamed up with Count Basie on several
two-piano dates. An underrated composer, Peterson wrote and recorded the
impressive "Canadiana Suite" in 1964 and has occasionally performed originals in
the years since. Although always thought of as a masterful acoustic pianist,
Peterson has also recorded on electric piano (particularly some of his own
works), organ on rare occasions, and even clavichord for an odd duet date with
Joe Pass. One of his rare vocal sessions in 1965, With Respect to Nat, reveals
that Peterson's singing voice was nearly identical to Nat King Cole's. A two-day
reunion with Herb Ellis and Ray Brown in 1990 (which also included Bobby Durham)
resulted in four CDs. Peterson was felled by a serious stroke in 1993 that
knocked him out of action for two years. He gradually returned to the scene,
however, although with a weakened left hand. Even when he wasn't 100 percent,
Peterson was a classic improviser, one of the finest musicians that jazz has
ever produced. The pianist appeared on an enormous number of records through the
years. As a leader, he has recorded for Victor, Granz's Clef and Verve labels
(1950-1964), MPS, Mercury, Limelight, Pablo, and Telarc. ~ Scott Yanow
