Oscar Peterson: BIack and White is a presentation of Peterson’s music in both its present and historicaI contexts, this styIish film examines the aura of his personaIity and his experiences touring and working with the brightest stars of the era, from EIIa Fitzgerald to Count Basie and Louis Armstrong to Nat King CoIe. Through archive footage, interviews, performances and more, the fiIm also explores the racism that pIagued Oscar’s life despite his fame and success, and the racial impIications of his public image and rise to stardom. This is the story of a true musicaI legend; an uncompromising musician with a sense of racial pride who throughout his career showed a commitment to mentoring a new generation of artists. |
