Oscar Peterson Keeping Groove

Oscar Peterson:
Keeping the Groove Alive
“… a glorious riff through the golden age of jazz.”
Perfectionist, practical joker, and one of the all-time greatest exponents of jazz, Oscar Peterson is unlike any music leg-
end that ever was or ever will
be. Dubbed the “Maharajah of
Piano” by Duke Ellington, his
utter dedication to music for the
past seven decades has taken
him to the pinnacle of interna-
tional success and to the depths
of emotional despair.
Narrated by celebrated actor
Christopher Plummer, Oscar
Peterson: Keeping the Groove
Alive reveals the man behind
the legend, featuring com-
pelling interviews with Diana
Krall, Herbie Hancock, Phil
Nimmons and many more.
Peterson’s drive to perfection
was nurtured early by a deter-
mined father who exhorted his
son to be “the best jazz pianist
ever.” That drive would take
young Oscar from the dance-
halls of Montreal to the concert
halls of the world.
In candid interviews, Peterson
talks about his life and times as
one of Canada’s greatest jazz
musicians.
At 78, Oscar Peterson is still
performing … still keeping the
groove alive.
