Oscar Emmanuel Peterson. Canadian jazz pianist, composer, and band leader Born 15 August 1925 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, died 23 December 2007 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada He went through a classical piano education before turning to jazz, playing mostly in Canadian night clubs in Toronto and Montreal. Only after repeated urgings by American colleagues he was persuaded to give a JATP performance at New York's Carnegie Hall in 1949. It was a smashing success. He then worked together with Ray Brown, at first as a duo, before founding in 1952 his first trio which included in succession, the guitarists Irving Ashby, Barney Kessel and Herb Ellis. At the end of the 1950s the guitar was replaced by drums.
