Oscar Peterson: Keeping the Groove Alive
With narration by Christopher Plummer, this video focuses on the life and career of one of the greatest jazz piano musicians, Oscar Peterson, who passed away in 2007. Through interviews with Peterson and others, viewers learn about the person behind the legend, including the discrimination he faced as a young musician, the destruction of many of his fellow musicians to drugs and alcohol and the personal tragedies he experienced throughout his life. Mostly, however, it is a celebratory look at one of Canada's most accomplished musicians.
