REVIEW
The sort of high-quality, thought-provoking video portrait of an artist rarely seen… More than just a good concert film or collection of interesting vintage footage, this bio-vid reveals Peterson as a complex, articulate man with a passion for perfection and profound anger and pain over the racism he has encountered… His commentary is a first hand account of the American brand of apartheid --Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant

An elaborately produced documentary… Anyone who admires Oscar Peterson will thoroughly enjoy this video… especially when he begins singing along impishly as if his pianistic exuberance were overflowing into song. --Krin Gabbard, Cadence Magazine

An expansive overview, there is ample performance footage by this Herculean pianist… is replete with many intimate, personal observations and anecdotes, showing the viewers his many other faces… a true-to-life sense of this prodigious musician. --The Palm Beach Post
