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