Oscar Peterson interview/lesson

Here is a video I have watched several times recently of Oscar Peterson, one of the most prominent jazz piano figures of the mid-late 20th century, giving an interview about his influences. I thought it was really insightful to hear Peterson himself deconstruct his style, as well as talk about about the style of others while providing examples on the piano. I always wonder what is going on the minds of some of these outrageously skilled musicians, and this video shined some light on that.
