Rare photo of Vladimir Horowitz with Oscar Peterson (?)
on: April 28, 2015, 04:55:50 PM
Hi everyone. While searching the net, I stumbled across this photo:



Taken from this site: https://www.philsternarchives.com/archive/jazz/artists/vladimir-horowitz/.

Does anyone know the origins of this photograph? I have never seen such a photo before. Did these two giants of piano from two such grand Western music genres really meet?

Well that is an interesting article. Care to know any more about what they talked about, and how they actually met?

I'm still figuring out who took the photo, when it was taken, and where, and on what occasion...

Horowitz also allegedly would sit in the back of clubs when Art Tatum would play.
