Man, can Oscar Peterson play! I saw him in concert once in Iowa City, and The Eldest even got to meet him backstage. The introduction of his solo,from 0:26 to 0.51, sounds nearly exactly like the introduction of his 'Sweet George Brown'-Solo of the Montreux 1977 -Concert ?.

A Jazz Odyssey by Oscar Peterson SummaryThe legendary jazz pianist's autobiography has been a work in progress for nearly fifteen years and proves to be well worth the wait. As monumental as the man himself and his six-decade career in jazz, A Jazz Odyssey begins with Peterson's early years in Canada as part of a large family for whom times were often hard, going on to trace in detail not only his musical development but much of the social and political background that underscored it. Peterson's account focuses on his US debut at Carnegie Hall in 1949 and his startling rise as a presence in American jazz, as both virtuoso soloist and empathetic accompanist. The section on Norman Granz, Peterson's closest friend and manager from his earliest American days, pays tribute to the late impresario's ground-breaking achievements as a concert promoter, record producer, and significant civil rights activist, while the large section entitled Jazz People logs Peterson's warm and often hilarious reminiscences of the innumerable jazz stars he played for and with including Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young and Ella Fitzgerald. Three highly successful series for the BBC as a chatshow host on Oscar's Piano Parties, reflections on the many pianos he has owned and played, and specific aspects of his personal life.
Jazz Icons by Tony Whyton SummaryToday, jazz history is dominated by iconic figures who have taken on an almost God-like status. From Satchmo to Duke, Bird to Trane, these legendary jazzmen form the backbone of the jazz tradition. Jazz icons not only provide musicians and audiences with figureheads to revere but have also come to stand for a number of values and beliefs that shape our view of the music itself. Jazz Icons explores the growing significance of icons in jazz and discusses the reasons why the music's history is increasingly dependent on the legacies of 'great men'. Using a series of individual case studies, Whyton examines the influence of jazz icons through different forms of historical mediation, including the recording, language, image and myth. The book encourages readers to take a fresh look at their relationship with iconic figures of the past and challenges many of the dominant narratives in jazz today.
Music Learning with Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) by L. Steels SummaryMassive Open Online Courses, known as MOOCs, have arisen as the logical consequence of marrying long-distance education with the web and social media.
MOOCs were confidently predicted by advanced thinkers decades ago. They are undoubtedly here to stay, and provide a valuable resource for learners and teachers alike. This book focuses on music as a domain of knowledge, and has three objectives: to introduce the phenomenon of MOOCs; to present ongoing research into making MOOCs more effective and better adapted to the needs of teachers and learners; and finally to present the first steps towards 'social MOOCs’, which support the creation of learning communities in which interactions between learners go beyond correcting each other's assignments. Social MOOCs try to mimic settings for humanistic learning, such as workshops, small choirs, or groups participating in a Hackathon, in which students aided by somebody acting as a tutor learn by solving problems and helping each other. The papers in this book all discuss steps towards social MOOCs; their foundational pedagogy, platforms to create learning communities, methods for assessment and social feedback and concrete experiments. These papers are organized into five sections: background; the role of feedback; platforms for learning communities; experiences with social MOOCs; and looking backwards and looking forward. Technology is not a panacea for the enormous challenges facing today's educators and learners, but this book will be of interest to all those striving to find more effective and humane learning opportunities for a larger group of students.
