Quoted from the article, written by Julie Kotsis of the Windsor Star.

"Windsor pianist Mike Karloff will lead a 100th anniversary celebration of Canadian jazz great Oscar Peterson on Sunday, May 25, at Mackenzie Hall.

The Windsor Jazz Concert Series performance will feature jazz standards from Peterson, who was born in 1925 and died in 2007.

Playing along with Karloff will be Michigan musicians Paul Keller on bass, Randy Napoleon on guitar and Pete Siers on drums. Article content

The quartet will perform originals from Peterson’s Canadiana Suite, his classic Hymn to Freedom and arrangements of his riffs with guitar legends Herb Ellis and Joe Pass.

Sunday’s performance begins at 2:30 p.m. at Mackenzie Hall, 3277 Sandwich St. "

Big fan of jazz music and of Oscar Peterson's work in particular. I highly recommend you give some of his music a listen. Ain't nothing better to have playing while taking a bath or reading a good book.
