Answer 2

Obviously piano. Before he played piano, he played Trumpet. Then he came down with tuberculosis and after a year and a month stint in the hospital, his doctors said it was bad for his breathing for him to continue to play the trumpet. He also played a little bit of the Saxophone, flute, and guitar. He also sang on a few records, with a voice that sounds a lot like Nat King Cole's.

Answer 3

In his latter years, he greatly preferred Bosendorfer; after his first time playing one, he asked, "Why doesn't everyone play on Bosendorfer?" In earlier years, he played whatever the concert hall or club had--I've seen video footage of him playing everything imaginable, even piano brands I've never heard of. Cheers!

Answer 4

Peterson preferred the Bösendorfer. Though, after his stroke, one sees him playing the Yamaha frequently. I suspect that's because the Yamaha has a lighter touch and a brighter sound to compensate for his weakness at that stage.

Answer 5

hundreds. he kept them on bits of paper hidden in his pants at all times , unless he was in the bath.

Answer 6

he was an Canadian jazz pianist (1925-2007).

Answer 8

He was a jazz pianist, so I'm guessing jazz
