Straight Ahead Jazz Sunday

Jan 31, 2026

If you’re not familiar with Oscar Peterson and like jazz, I encourage you to give this a listen.  If you are a fan of his, I know you’ll enjoy this rendition of “C Jam Blues” with Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums.  He was a Canadian jazz pianist and composer and as a virtuoso who is considered to be one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, Peterson released more than 200 recordings, won eight Grammy Awards, as well as a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy, and received numerous other awards and honors.

After about 3 minutes, you may recognize the song – it’s a classic.
