Oscar Peterson
Oscar Emmanuel Peterson, CC, CQ, OOnt (August 15, 1925 – December 23, 2007) was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer. He was called the "Maharaja of the keyboard" by Duke Ellington, but simply "O.P." by his friends. He released over 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards, and received numerous other awards and honours. He is considered to have been one of the greatest jazz pianists, and played thousands of concerts worldwide in a career lasting more than 60 years.
Biography
Peterson was born to immigrants from the West Indies; his father worked as a porter for Canadian Pacific Railway. Peterson grew up in the neighbourhood of Little Burgundy in Montreal, Quebec. It was in this predominantly black neighbourhood that he found himself surrounded by the jazz culture that flourished in the early 20th century. At the age of five, Peterson began honing his skills with the trumpet and piano. However, a bout of tuberculosis when he was seven prevented him from playing the trumpet again, and so he directed all his attention to the piano. His father, Daniel Peterson, an amateur trumpeter and pianist, was one of his first music teachers, and his sister Daisy taught young Oscar classical piano. Young Oscar was persistent at practicing scales and classical études daily, and thanks to such arduous practice he developed his virtuosity.

Famous quotes by Oscar Peterson:
"The music field was the first to break down racial barriers, because in order to play together, you have to love the people you are playing with, and if you have any racial inhibitions, you wouldn't be able to do that."
"[I've never been] a political person in my life,"
"I have nothing but great admiration for this gentleman . . . who's been able to withstand a lot of the foils and stumbling blocks in politics as we know them."
"very honored and proud that jazz has brought me to this acclaim by the Canadian people."
"[Noting that the school is] very close to my home, ... because I like their platform educationally speaking. They have some very good intentions musically and I'm very interested in that."
"We're not like pop musicians who have to perform the same top ten tunes every night of a tour."
"I don't do something because I think it will sell 30 million albums. I couldn't care less. If it sells one, it sells one."
"Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they're trying to say with jazz. You don't need any prologues, you just play."
"You not only have to know your own instrument, you must know the others and how to back them up at all times. That's jazz."
"I play as I feel."
"I have no one style."
"If you have something to say of any worth then people will listen to you."
"I don't believe that a lot of the things I hear on the air today are going to be played for as long a time as Coleman Hawkins records or Brahms concertos."
"Too many jazz pianists limit themselves to a personal style, a trademark, so to speak. They confine themselves to one type of playing."
"I am the worlds laziest writer."
"I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea."

All Of Me
by: Oscar PetersonAll of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear, without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear, without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
INSTRUMENTAL
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear, without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me
