OT - Oscar Peterson "Newport Years" - Joy Spring

[David Severance]

Gordon

I might have that exact CD.  If you can transcribe and play one of Oscar's 
solos you have my respect esp. Joy Spring as I recall modulates through 4 
different keys.  I also play a little jazz.  I have a BA in Music with a 
minor in jazz studies.  Send me your email address and we can have a 
conversation off list.
