Oscar Peterson
Happy Birthday Oscar
Peterson wrote pieces for piano, for trio, for quartet and for big band. He also wrote several songs, and made recordings as a singer. Probably his best-known compositions are "Canadiana Suite" and "Hymn to Freedom," the latter composed in the 1960s and inspired by the U.S. civil rights movement.

I couldn't ask for more than a Sphere shape
I couldn't ask for more than Freedom
The Sky is an open book and The Clouds are talking through symbols
I couldn't ask for more than a sequence of Happy Accidents
That spilled into a Milky Way
I couldn't ask for more than a penny
I am a very lucky person
