Peterson's dazzling solo technique and mastery of both technical command and expressive freedom redefined swing for modern jazz pianists. His collaborations with jazz legends and his numerous awards and honors, including the Glenn Gould Prize and the Praemium Imperiale, cemented his status as a musical icon. Whether performing solo or with his renowned trio featuring Ray Brown on bass and Ed Thigpen on drums, Peterson's performances were always a testament to his unparalleled skill and deep musicality.
