Petrescu is awesome, and he can play the exact same notes that Oscar played before, even at the exact same tempo too. But when you hear to him you know he's not Oscar. That's because every musician is different. You can hear the same piece performed by Barenboim and Rubinstein, for example, and it obviously sounds different.

Agreed. Like I said, "there is only one Oscar".

@rtel123 Well, ok, but can Petrescu swing like Oscar. And above all, what has Petrescu done to build on Oscar's tradition? Petrescu owes his raison d'être to Oscar.

There is only one Oscar, and this gang are at their best. Still my favorite, but I have just come across Cakewalk performed on youtube by Marian Petrescu. -A formidable successor to Oscar. Worth watching a big band version there.

Yes, that's Martin Drew on drums. Nobody can lay down the beat on a ride cymbal like he can.
