90 min Oscar Peterson Listening Assignment.

You don't have to take piano lessons to HAVE a lesson in piano playing. What I mean by that is that to listen is to learn. Today, I thought it would be fitting to listen to the famous AfricanCanadian piano player, Oscar Peterson on this holiday-in-America, MartinLutherKing-AfricanAmerican-Day. Peterson had a great piano style worth noting-- whether you intend to play piano or not, his playing is a lesson in how piano should be played.  To listen to to be a student. You can't avoid it. He chose great tunes to interpret piano-wise too.
