That makes me very sad. I saw him in 1981 with Niels Pedersen, and it was bliss. Maybe they're jamming right now..

RIP Oscar..

I remember seeing him at the Newport Jazz Fest in the ealy 80's. It seemed like he was 386 years old then, but maybe I just young. He blew me away with his playing all the same....

Great video. Thanks for that!

Oscar was a monstrous player. RIP, man.
