There’s a fantastic bronze statue of the amazing Canadian jazz pianist Oscar Peterson that was unveiled in 2010. It’s a lovely historical landmark right at the corner of Elgin and Albert streets in Ottawa, just outside Canada’s National Arts Centre.

The statue is life-sized and shows Peterson sitting on a bench next to a piano, wearing a warm smile. What’s really neat is that there’s even a spot for visitors to sit right next to him!

This statue is definitely one of my favorites in Ottawa. I absolutely love the lifelike details, and it's so much fun to hear the non-stop audio of his beautiful songs playing from this sculpture. It truly is a wonderful addition to...

A estátua em tamanho real mostra Peterson sentado em um banco ao piano, sorrindo, e inclui um espaço para os visitantes se sentarem ao lado dele. A estátua pretendia representar Peterson como se ele tivesse acabado de tocar e se voltado para o público. A estátua é feita de bronze e foi criada pela escultora canadense Ruth Abernethy. Abernathy disse que a estátua foi projetada para que Peterson fosse "... muito acessível para as pessoas que o amam, e isso é uma montagem descarada para ter um momento com Oscar". O piano tem 97 teclas em oposição às 88 teclas de um piano padrão e é baseado em um piano austríaco que Peterson preferia. Abernethy pretendia que as teclas extras representassem uma "metáfora para sua inventividade musical", pois Peterson era um "... homem que pediu para reimaginar o piano". Abernathy havia criado anteriormente uma escultura do pianista clássico canadense Glenn Gould, situado fora do Canadian Broadcasting Centre em Toronto. A estátua custou US $ 300.000 e foi financiada por doações privadas. Os principais doadores incluíram a fundação de caridade de Allan Slaight, Fred e Anne Ketchen, de Mississauga, o Toronto-Dominion Bank e o prefeito da Fundação de Artes, Cultura e Patrimônio de Mississauga. #casalconhecendoomundo recomenda @casalconhecendoomundo...

On the corner of Albert st and Elgin st you will find a statue honoring the great Canadian jazz musician, Oscar Peterson. He was known as "the king of inside swing" and had released over 200 recordings and won 8 Grammys. If you listen closely by the statue you can even hear this great pianist tickle the ivory keys from one of his songs. So why not take a photo with him and celebrate life...
