I do own the PG Music package (CDROM and separate Sheetmusic) on 
Oscar Peterson. It is a great package but none of the midifiles were 
played live by Oscar but by the Canadian jazzpianist Miles Black.  
Miles Black does a great job however it isn't exactly Peterson. The 
sheetmusic is great (close to unplayable), the CDROM is well 
developed and the major disappointment is the sound of the audio cd 
(sounds like shit). You will get a lot of photos and info, not many 
midifiles and one can argue about the choices they made when 
selecting songs for this CD.  

Any other source for midifiles by Oscar would be welcomed!

Just my two cents,
PM
