The data from the research on this topic can help us answer the question, “Who can be considered a ’child prodigy’?” Accepted Definitions For a Child Prodigy Oscar of course hails from Canada and came to prominence in the jazz world through the Jazz at the Philharmonic tours of the 1950's, I first heard him then and have found him the most consistent of jazz performers ever since.While there is no doubt in every parent's heart that his/her child is a brilliant prodigy, a wonder kid, there is actually a myriad realm of psychological research which outlines the specific parameters of a ‘child prodigy’. This is a performance by the best jazz trio in the world playing on the top of its form The concert concludes with "The Man I Love" and like all the tracks the performance is dazzling. "Night Child" is another Peterson original, worthy of much more exposure, listen to Niels Pedersen on this one, he is outstanding. " Satin Doll" is a title that is always expected at a Peterson concert, this version did not disappoint. I can't see it myself, but perhaps I don't have enough imagination! Oscar's version is beautifully played however. "Old folks is a composition of Willard Robinson and is intended as a musical description of American rural life. "Who can I turn to" starts out of tempo, moves into stride piano and then into an up tempo rave for the trio. "Goodbye old girl" is a solo feature for Oscar, it is taken at a slow tempo and each note is crafted in the way only he can. A Peterson original "Cake Walk" follows, this is a very exciting track with virtuoso performances by all three players. It is followed by the Styne/Cahn ballad, "Time after time" a fine tune beautifully played by the trio. A very dramatic start to what turns out to be a very fine concert indeed.

"Falling in love with love" kicks off with Martin Drew, who is then joined by Niels and then by Oscar. Niels has to be the most accomplished bass player in the world and Martin has always been amongst my favourite drummers, if you listen to the interview Oscar rates him too! There have been many versions of the trio, this one featured Danish Bass player Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen and British Drummer Martin Drew. This ingredient is a superb technique, immaculate taste and a huge presence, the like of which has not been known before. His playing encompasses all those who went before him, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, Nat Cole and many others, but to all of this he adds the Oscar Peterson ingredient.

Oscar Peterson has a unique talent, he is the complete jazz piano player and for me the yardstick with which to judge others.
