About this episode
Robi Botos is a Juno-winning Canadian jazz pianist who was hugely influenced by the late Oscar Peterson — one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time. He opened for Oscar in Switzerland and he even gave Oscar’s daughter piano lessons. In celebration of the Canadian jazz legend’s centenary (he would have turned 100 on Aug. 15), Robi sits down with Tom Power to talk about Oscar’s musical legacy and what made his piano playing so exceptional. Plus, Robi plays a piece he wrote for his friend and hero.
