I swear, at what's now three years in a row, this Christmas trend is getting really creepy. R.I.P. to Derek Bailey, James Brown, and Oscar Peterson.

Another article on the passing of the great Mr Peterson.

http://music.sympatico.msn.ca/newsan...temid=33057022

Mr Peterson was to be presented with the 2008 Founder's Award by the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame/ Le Panthon des Auteurs et Compositeurs Canadiens on March 1. I'm sure that together with a posthumous presentation ceremony, there will be a tribute.
