... that my lifelong idol has this mediocre offering with his name on it.
Perhaps there is very limited video of the real man available, or perhaps there were licencing issues. A video with other people playing his music just isn't good enough.
Standard format used of people saying only nice things, limited coverage of his earlier years, and a somewhat awkward inclusion of his last wife.
The parts with Oscar talking were great and there is nothing to compare with his actual playing.
Perhaps a culled version of 45 mins would do it until (if ever) a better tribute comes along.
But this is Oscar so we should end on a happy note. And that is done by playing one of his albums. I'd suggest something from the early '60s.
