...........................He made more than 200 albums and won eight Grammy awards, including a lifetime achievement honour in 1997. His hallmark was the capacity to play at lightning speed, while maintaining the ability to swing. What's more, he could play in a variety of jazz styles.................

RIP Oscar
Agreed. Enjoy this one while you can - AFAIK he's still alive and judging by the two CDs I have, he's pretty damn good:
