Oscar Peterson is one of the greatest piano players of all time. A pianist with
phenomenal technique on the level of his idol Art Tatum, Peterson's speed,
dexterity, and ability to swing at any tempo have long been amazing. Very
effective in small groups, jam sessions, and in accompanying singers, O.P. is at
his absolute best when performing unaccompanied solos. His original style does
not fall into any specific idiom. Like Erroll Garner and George Shearing,
Peterson's distinctive playing formed during the mid- to late '40s, and fell
somewhere between swing and bop. Peterson has been criticized through the years
because he uses so many notes, has not evolved much since the 1950s, and has
recorded a remarkable number of albums. Perhaps it is because critics ran out of
favorable adjectives to use early in his career; certainly it can be said that
Peterson plays 100 notes when other pianists might use ten, but all 100 usually
fit, and there is nothing wrong with showing off technique when it serves the
music. As with Johnny Hodges and Thelonious Monk, to name two, Peterson spent
his career growing within his style rather than making any major changes once
his approach was set, certainly an acceptable way to handle one's career.
Because he was Norman Granz's favorite pianist (along with Tatum), and the
producer tended to record some of his artists excessively, Peterson has made an
incredible number of albums. Not all are essential, and a few are routine, but
the great majority are quite excellent, and there are dozens of classics.
