Jazz Note #11 – Find a Groove

“If you make a mistake, don’t stop.  Make it part of what you are playing.” I think of this quote by Oscar Peterson every time I hear one of his songs.  He doesn’t so much play the piano as propel it.  In the middle of a solo, every key is under his domain as he deftly dashes the ebony and ivory with contradictory urgency and ease.  Even if Peterson made a mistake, you may never hear it.
