ARRAY 12-24-2007, 04:51 PM Thats' an artist that couldn't be replaced. Many a top jazz pianist WISHED they could play like that man. Duke Ellington referred to Oz for his incredible talent as "that wonderful monster". One of my favs - I've got many of his recordings. His spirit will live on... no1maestro 12-24-2007, 04:51 PM Indeed one of the greats and a great gentleman to boot. The world will remember him always. RIP Oscar!
