Yes, we all die. And I am feeling it quite realistic by being 70 years. He mentioned that he has lost Jone Lewis, Ray Brown, Milt Jackson, right before he started playing this tribute. They are all my favorites.
I am wondering how he came up with a title, "Sushi" the next tune. Lively, I like it, first time to hear it though.

Statute of Oscar Peterson, the Great! |
I see Peterson got fat. There should be too much for him just to walk around. Don't you think?
Yeah, right, we all die. He lived three more years from this date and pased away on Dec 23rd, 2007. A day before Christmas Eve. Nice,
But jazz music are here to stay. There is no
reason to doubt it, right?
Here's his official site, just in case you didn't know: http://www.oscarpeterson.com
