Oscar Peterson: Music in the Key of Oscar documents the career of the respected jazz pianist Oscar Peterson. The film combines interviews with the man and many of the people with whom he worked, archival footage, and a great deal of music in order to show how Peterson grew from a teen star into one of the most admired players in the genre with the help of his Oscar Peterson Trio. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
- 1950
As directed and edited by Norman Granz, the now-legendary compilation film Improvisation contains just that -- a loosely structured series of jazz improvisations, shot over a period of years and performed by such legends as Charlie Parker, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, and Oscar Peterson at various venues. Originally released in 1950, the effort received full restoration and was re-released in the mid- to late 2000s. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
