[ballvl1]

i didn't think 2 minutes was enouh to fit in a real whole song, by anybody. it's been a long time. but it's Oscar. i stand corrected.

[TheToon1987]

To understand jazz is to understand why the smiles on the faces of the performers are so wide.

[nicoejz]

Epic.

[nobodady1]

A great pianist, on the extrovert side of the tradition. What a smile on his face -- like he's just one of us listeners hearing someone else play.

[warmanzito]

[dmitrykrivonosov]

one of my favorite jazz pianists!!

[xXFelixtheCatXx]

That piano sounds like it's having an orgy.

[shadowofcalistis]

The piano is tripping so hard it probably missed the whole orgy.

[ParZap86]

alucinante!

[sambamac]

not only fast, but swings too! That's the art!

[rockclimber21]

*bows down in worship of oscar*

[TommyMin28]

I love it when it gets to 0:23

[RenoRaider]

All fat and sassy and shiny. Nobody could touch OP. Forget about Tatum.

[860125mwj]

i dont understand why is tatum so great i listened to him i dont like his style it seems boring compared to Oscar.Oscar is far better.Ive never heard anyone play like him.

[scottspianist]

@860125mwj Tatum if incredible in his own right, and oscar definetly wouldnt have disgareed with that, but oscar has taken what he has learned from tatum and improved it. Its how jazz progress

[Laprevotte]

@860125mwj Tatum came before Oscar and Oscar learned a lot from him. He did take it to a different level though. But had there not been Art Tatum we might have not had Oscar Peterson the way he is.

[martinlentini]

wow, excellent! Which is this tune and the name of that drummer? They are all such musician beasts!

[ChiTown7721]

The tune is "Daahoud" which was written by Clifford Brown. The drummer is Bobby Durham.

[jsbruzina]

I love Oscar's look at :14

[Slaggur]

@jsbruzina That's real music!

[realhiphop216]

That piece was fucking sophisticated!

[Lethani]

he´s great

[taildragger51]

Oscar was amazing...i was appalled how he received racial abuse in Ontario. during one incident that he never seemed to recover from. He didn't deserve that.

 He was a beautiful guy.

[HiMyNameis0BLANK0]

They say mumbling/growling is the best way to get connected to your piano playing. Oscar Peterson is obviously into it

[taildragger51]

@HiMyNameis0BLANK0  So was Jimmy Smith.

[genskompi]

immortal

[Slaggur]

He Is Legend.

[maxthepilot1]

Legend.

[adimanelistul]

yes legend

[SelmaBlaine]

maravilhoso. NAO TEM MELHOR.

[snowmanwilly]

bravo!

[norms005]

ray brown is awesome

[Getcrunkwaynebrady]

oooo YEA !

[ChiTown7721]

You have Oscar on piano to start and then you add Ray Brown on bass and Bobby Durham on drums?! This is a trio nobody would ever even think of fucking with! Listen to these guys tear it up! Man, I was born in the wrong time period.

[nicsevern]

haha he looks so jolly! love it

[SebastienLoong]

Jazz washes your tears away, all your sorrows, all your anguish, it washes it away.

All you need is Jazz and your a free human.

[itadrummer1]

100% right brother ! I agree in full with you.

If only jazz was more part of everyday 's life, as it was in the past...

[SebastienLoong]

:D Thumps up!!!!!!!!

[LewisSmith]

Brilliant and agree completely....lol. :D

[pierrelp]

On of the best comments I have read on youtube....

It appears that Sebastien is quite mature and has a taste for talent for his age as evidenced by his channel...

[SebastienLoong]

Thank you for your wamrth! You disarm me with your extreme kindness!!!!!!

Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year!!!!!!!!!

[pierrelp]

Carry on and have a Wonderfull Holiday...

Best regards,

[KennyParkz]

@SebastienLoong i feel privileged to be able to understand and love Jazz.... others around me are not so fortunate.. they hear it and dont feel anything

[Guitfiddlejase]

@SebastienLoong That really hit home for me today...

[hommefriday]

@SebastienLoong For 60 years jazz has been my companion - always offering exactly what my spriti needed .

[polymath7]

I don't think I've ever watched this video fewer than three times in a row.

Christ on a bike, Oscar's incredible.

[juiorocha]

Isto que é musica....

JUlio Rocha

Brazil...

Barueri

[bluespianostyle]

per fermare oscar ci vuole una fucilata ...tecnica esuberante....un dio del piano jazz.... vorremo essere tutti come te....

[SacredMonster]

Oscar en the Piano, Ray Brown in Bass, and (not so sure) Karriem Riggins in drums.

Excelent!!!

[RenoRaider]

Riggins??? i doubt it. its either thigpen or durham prolly.

[brian740]

It's Bobby Durham drums.

[fildiferro1988]

very very very very very very very very very very very goooooooooooooooooooddddd!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[parkdonkey]

What is the title of this song

[RobZiak]

[taildragger51]

@RobZiak

 Ah, yeah..Clifford Brown's masterpiece.

[colincbass414]

KILLIN'!!!!!!

[orionedwin]

YEAH MAN!

[markrallardyce]

Please come back - you are the greatest Oscar- we need you!

[spacepatrolman]

He always said that art tatum was the greatest but you are right .

[jsbruzina]

They don't come close to making musicians like this anymore ... sad.

[cilcsster]

I thought so too, however, Google Marian Petrescu on Resonance Records PLEASE!! You are in for a treat!!

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

He "raises the game" for each new generation that's lucky enough to hear his work. The woodshed is to the left!LOL

[cilcsster]

The 'new generation' is here now. Check out Marian Petrescu and Resonance Records

[ChiTown7721]

This whole trio is absolutely amazing. You can't swing harder than that!

[oldpython]

That's the first thought I had the first time I saw this video.

[lininho]

with bobby durham (d) and ray brown (b)

[EliotKrupa]

I wish I had have know about this guy while he was still alive....

[cd1306]

AMAZING!

[giantshorty24]

Absolutely amazing.

Cudos to the bass player and drummer, too

[tiagosmx]

Oh shit, this is surreal.

Awesome

[robinrero]

ただ速いだけじゃない。

そこが好きです

[SCRATCHnUNDER]

just insane.... im only 13 and i can understand how much skill this takes compared to music of today

[Sutyanass]

god damn

[narfanoid]

He never ceases to amaze me.

[SebastienLoong]

In the name of Heaven.

[SebastienLoong]

This is the epitomy of jazz, it is a fullfiller and an accomplisher of the jazz thought which was created by our jazz forefathers, (Art Tatum, Charlie Parker), Not just them, but the beginning of the ancestors of jazz, who used it as an outlet from oppression and racism.

[taildragger51]

@SebastienLoong Oscar fought racism right to the end..and i MEAN , right to the end because he was racially abused only a few months before his death right outside his own home. Artists from Oscar's era will NEVER be replaced. They set the standards. They had a gift from God.

[SebastienLoong]

I few months before his death???? Oh my, to think that after all he's achieved and the age we live in, that someone like him could go through discrimination after the way he's enriched us all.

Yeah, I agree with you, they do set the standards.

[taildragger51]

@SebastienLoong Yes, the  account is still on-line about his ordeal that lasted for a month ot two outside his home in Mississauga. I think his whole family were threatened.

[neon854]

I see no poking business - it must be an optical illusion.

[matajuegos]

hey, one little thing about the video but im not really sure about it, right before the drumer starts playing his solo the bassist is kinda poking oscar to stop him from soloing cause he was getting to exited playing. Do you think its true?

[DrummerInExile]

where/when? didn't see that at all...

[matajuegos]

jaja, sorry is that i thought i saw that the bass player was poking him but is just because of the camera aim

[14nitetripper]

BRAVO!! BRAVO!! BRAVO!!

[sfv89]

nice drummer too

[aurelienpk]

Bobby Durham. He died last year. A true legend!

[Roverdash]

i was like... OH MY GOD!!!

[Jhey172]

and I Was like...O...M....G

[1mommas]

The master!

Art Tatum, also Nat King Cole, great talents.

[WalterLogan]

What scales is he playing in this song? Just got into scales..

[mrkrauley]

...All of them.

[AwaTu]

@mrkrauley at the same time...



[JazzMaestra]

Absolutely my favorite Jazz pianist, period!! Thanks for this one!!

[Ztepheniz]

does period mean full stop in this case? i honestly dont know and cant find out, sum1 tell me plz

[angelzrdark]

yes it does.

[Ztepheniz]

whys he/she put it after a comma with exclamation marks...is that a good thing? im guessing you cant say that right?

sorry, ive seen it before and i dont like feeling clueless

[angelzrdark]

Well some people say it to make their point stronger. Because seeing the full stop is just grammar but saying it gives the statement more weight.

[SCRATCHnUNDER]

thats pretty cool, yeah i have been playing jaz for a couple years and i have made a video check it out! (ps im only 13)

[MultiMediumDisorder]

that is a hell of a good piano. and a hell of a good player :)

[Sevisija]

Anybody know if his tv shows were put on a dvd ?

[Sevisija]

An this tune , is it called "the hood " ? or am i wrong lol :)

[KJShackx]

daahoud

[OscarPetersonFan]

Clifford Brown's "Daahoud"

[polymath7]

No. its called "Dahoud". It's written by Clifford brown.

[johnaston]

I WISH.

I have looked for years, but have never seen on DVD.

[SSBarena]

Just a genius.

[DavidLyons7]

Fantastic brings back memories....take a listen to my Eurovision 2009 entry for Ireland ...its on my site...leave a comment if you can...

[victotronics]

Great piano playing, but I'm always disappointed when Ray Brown gets a solo. Niels Henning runs rings around Ray.

[redhouse7]

yeh but there styles are different,k ray has a much better down home style and nhop, well he is just amazing

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Romping bass!

[mwljazzguitar]

a true master of the piano, and so fun to watch too!

[weldon29]

I think master of Jazz piano is more appropriate.
