This month in classes, we’re spotlighting jazz pianists and this week at Level 2 we’re kicking off with one of my favourites, Oscar Peterson 🎶 🇨🇦

Canadian treasure Peterson was a pianist, arranger and composer whose career spanned over 6 decades. Regularly regarded as one of the finest jazz pianists for his dexterity, sensitivity and tight “inside swing”, he recorded extensively, both solo and as accompaniment for other jazz greats including Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Louis Armstrong.

Love learning more about your favourite artists? Heard us talking about these jazz pioneers and want to keep learning off the dancefloor?! 🙌

We’ve got a big ole library at The Swing Project we’ve created over the years that local dancers are welcome to borrow from - from biographies of your favourite musicians and dancers, to deep dives in cultural history, you’ll find something to dig into 📚
