I know there are a lot of music enthusiast on this forum. Oscar Peterson, jazz legend, passed away before Christmas.

One aspect of his life that some may not know about, is his passion for photography. A while back, he was interviewed by Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape. Michael has posted the interview on his web site. It is a quicktime movie:

That is sad news.

Thanks for posting. I didn't know Peterson was into photography, I'll definitely be checking this out.

As an aside, Sammy Davis Jr was also into photography but wasn't well known for it.
