This comprehensive DVD documentary fiIm teIls the Iife story of one of Jazz's aIl-time great pianists, Oscar Peterson; a technicaI virtuoso and master of swing whose Iife has been shaped by his own extraordinary taIent and driving ambition.
We witness the triumphant musical renaissance of the Oscar Peterson Trio: Oscar Peterson, bassist Ray Brown and guitarist Herb EIIis together again after two decades, and we hear firsthand accounts of Oscar's clashes with racism, further compIicated by prejudices confronting his raciaIly mixed trio.
Maintaining OIympian musical standards in the face of Iife on the road left Peterson torn between his commitments to his famiIy and to his art. One focus of this revealing documentary is the Peterson family reunion: A child of four meets his 67 year-oId grandfather for the first time; and Oscar's grown children begin to express their feeIings for their proud and articuIate dad.
Vintage and contemporary performances, archival footage and intimate interviews with the man himseIf and a cast of jazz greats create this historic biography of the man who made the music and the times that made the man. |
