| | Peterson, Oscar |
 | | Peterson has played at many European jazz festivals, including that at Montreux, where several of the concerts in which he appeared in 1975 and 1977 (as leader or sideman) were recorded. | | | Peterson has performed at the Montreal, Stratford, Shaw, and Vancouver International festivals - he made a celebrated LP at Stratford in 1956 - and has appeared frequently in Canadian nightclubs including the Town Tavern, Toronto, where he recorded On the Town in 1958. | | | Under the guidance of Granz, who was to be his manager until 1988, Peterson formed a trio (piano, guitar, and bass) in the USA in 1951 and rose during the 1950s to the forefront of jazz musicians through his appearances with JATP shows and his recordings. |
