Oscar Peterson is joined by guitar virtuoso Joe Pass for a performance of "Cakewalk" at a 1987 concert in Tokyo, Japan.

Although Peterson never recorded the composition in a studio, it was a staple of his live performances from the early '80s onward. The song is unique for its fusion of a rollicking stride left hand and an intricate bebop melody in the right.

Personnel:

Oscar Peterson - piano
Joe Pass - guitar
Dave Young - bass
Martin Drew - drums

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
