What a loss, but what fantastic music! He did a duet with Stan Getz that still floors me. Love his Gershwin recordings!

Cheers Oscar!

the old masters, that is. Oscar was one of my favorites. So gentle and talented. Music poured from his skin.

Andre Watts once told me that he and Oscar would often sit down and discuss jazz. Specifically, Andre asked, how do you do it? He said Oscar said he didn't really know but that it just happened. Boy did it happen!

Rest in Peace Oscar! You done good!!!!!
