music lovers and students alike; it has something for everybody. One can
open the numerous files on the CD-ROM for study, and listen to the music
as well, or just sit back and enjoy the CD. There are 18 of Oscar's own
compositions to listen to and absorb. For anyone wanting to know more
about Oscar Peterson's creative world, nothing could be more perfect
than this musical bonanza." - Marian McPartland (Award-winning jazz

Makoto Ozone writes:"As I spent so much time listening to and
transcribing the solos of Oscar Peterson since I first saw him in OSAKA
Japan when I was 11 years old, I had prepared myself not to get too
excited about this CD-ROM until I actually saw what it contained. Then I
saw it - and it absolutely blew my mind! I heard my voice saying,
"Why wasn't this there when I needed it!" I can't tell you how
many cassette tapes I stretched by playing them back and forth in order
to get the notes he played. But this - I simply froze when I saw the
piano keyboard display on my computer's monitor showing exactly what he
was playing. And you can even click a button to make the music play in
half time!I personally would like to thank Oscar Peterson for sharing
his wonderful music with us and making it accessible to everyone. I am
sure this product is going to help make more and more talented young
musicians throughout the world."Makoto Ozone - Award-winning jazz
pianist Makoto Ozone debuted with his self-titled album in 1983, and
recently released his 14th album, No Strings Attached. A former member
of the Gary Burton Quartet, he has also appeared on albums by Paquito
D'Rivera, Marc Johnson, Chuck Loeb, Kimiko Ito, and Katsumi Watanabe.
