Oscar Levant (December 27, 1906 -- August 14, 1972) was an American pianist, composer, author, comedian, and actor. He was as famous for his mordant character and witticisms, on the radio and in movies and television, as for his music.

Raw iPhone video from Paul Carr's 12/20/11 session. I shot in the booth where Terell was isolated, just the mic on my iPhone. Here, Terell plays the head on Joey Calderazzo's "Bye George," but what you don't hear is Joey on piano, Michael Bowie on bass, Lewis Nash on drums, or Paul on tenor. You'll have to wait a few months for that, for the finished videos, and Paul Carr's new recording.
