The legendary Canadian jazz pianist, Oscar Peterson recorded the track, "Peace for South Africa" on the 1990 Telarc cd(Telarc CD-83304), "The Legendary Oscar Peterson Trio Live at the Blue Note". It featured Oscar, Herb Ellis(guitar), Ray Brown(bass) and Bobby Durham(drums).
Like many others in South Africa and elsewhere, I would have liked to see Oscar Peterson perform live in South Africa.
Oscar Peterson passed away on 23 December 2007. Go Well Oscar.
