[debytitful]

GRACIAS POR TODOS LOS COMENTARIOS , ENTRE LOS CUALES NO EXSTE UNA DISONANCIA , LO QUE ME PERMITE ARMAR UN ANILLO DE SENSIBILIDADES SONORAS QUE SE PLASMARÁN EN AGOSTO DEL 2012 EN EL PLANETA MARTE, MEDIANTE EL ROBOT "CURIOSITY ! QUE PUEDEN OBSERVAR EN ESTE MURO.

[debytitful]

Es el exponente máximo de una integración del bossa-jazz . Me ha dejado sin alma ...

[Fili2009able]

Wow !

Fantastic !

Me gusta Mucho !

[MegaDreamer1960]

THE PERSON WHO PUSHED THE DISLIKE BUTTON MUST BE DEAF!!!!!

[mrccamill]

Fantastic. Is he playing the solo with both hands in unison at the end? (like after 5:30) If so, that is incredible left hand technique!

[zmanofwar3]

@mrccamill Oh yeah, that's something Oscar does quite often. I can't imagine having such equality, especially playing at his speed. He's a regular Art Tatum with that left hand ;)

[TheDrDecibel]

This guy is SUCH A BEAST

[ictrivo]

Excelente apresentação, sabe ser leve e consistente nos momentos oportunos. Show de bola!

[jazzableful]

And Yes, I hear Oscar humming too! But then, he always did! He loved what he did and that was part of Oscar's charm and why I adored him! So happy he did some on this recording, he loved what he was doing!!

[jazzableful]

Listened to Oscar Peterson's version and because I have been a fan forever of Oscar's (always went to Baker's Keyboard Lounge in Detroit to hear him play) I feel he did a supurb recording of Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Wave!" This song is so beautiful.................and a beautiful tribute to someone I just discovered (Antonio) and then lost..................today!

[orionsecret]

what happens from 3:50 through the end of this song is .....musical magic

[BelSuave]

played this, and Oscars' "We get requests" album for my hip friends back in the 70s....they was into weather report, herbie, miles, n all the right stuff; but they couldn't get Oscar.

They were too Kool. Thelonious dissed him. Not "Black enuff" or something...

Forty years later, I know it was not me that was missing it. I hear THE MAN on this recording, know now why I was Ok with being Unkool-Oscar was the real deal. Talent doesn't have a colour-it just paints rainbows like this. Awesome

[NuHaiku]

Totally confused at how one person could actually 'dislike' this recording!!??

[Eerik39]

oscar begans at 3.47.playing.

[honda825]

If you listen closely, you can hear him humming LOL

[angelialvares]

i'm envious of Oscar's skills. I blew it this lifetime but in my next lifetime I want to play like him!

[doomushroom]

@angelialvares Hey :D it's never too late!

[VincesVinyl]

@angelialvares Nice comment:)



[kayaksurf100]

Oh Yeah!!!

[johndega]

OHMAGAWD !!!! WHAT A FANTASTIC RECORDING.

[jafigueroa41]

Elegante !

[Barakx8]

The sad thing was that OP improvised so much that he never repeated the way he played. The great thing was that OP improvised so much that he never repeated the way he played. Always fresh, one version built on the last, or took off in new exciting directions that leave you amazed. Listen to Jobim's version of Wave with OP playing, and pay attention to the piano solo that takes off around 3:39 and you will see what I am saying. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderfilled stuff.

[Tyetheberious]

Who is on guitar?

[TheReturnOfStephan1]

@Tyetheberious

Personnel: Oscar Peterson (piano); Bucky Pizzarelli (guitar); Sam Jones (bass instrument); Bobby Durham (drums).

[brabazon10]

just how brilliant was OP?

[Mamasan41]

Thank you so much

[pensilver51]

Man, the strings are poppin'! As for Oscar, well, we know what he's all about!

[ynotime2dream2]

Heard this on wdcb in chicago last night while driving in rush hour combined with snow coming down. I had to hear it again. Fortunately the person announced what songs she played . She has great taste and sat in for the regular jock. It's beautiful. I'm new to the standards like this. I don't think there would be any road rage if this was piped into your car the minute a sensor that your're hooked up to would detect your blood pressure going through the roof. Thanks for posting this. AWESOME.

[rfrankstol]

@ynotime2dream2 as a fellow in the rush hour I could'nt agree more....

[magazzongorista]

finom



[saberbarion]

this is so soothing. Wonderful piece!

[lovemydogsmucho]

heart-rending beautiful....

[satomisuperblack]

Didn't know this version. One of those cases when you can say GENIUS + GENIUS

[paulstyper]

You can't get any better than this. This beautiful melody of Jobim, with the genius of Oscar Peterson and one of the best ever arrangers, Claus Ogerman. Absolutely Priceless.

[chivas6602]

Antonio Carlos Jobim Y Jose Alfredo Jimenez dos compositores geniales

Siempre imitados nunca igualados

[joekiddone]

Exquisite!

[Rainbirdman1]

The definition of smooth jazz. What a beautiful arrangement!

[gina1687]

[MagnusFogg]

...I don't have the habit of cursing on YouTube...and this rule bares no exception...

..."TheReturnOfStephan1", may the Gods bless you with a smile for this post...take care :-)

[orionsecret]

Stephan, Thanks for posting my favorite version of this song. This is perfection!

[papersky1]

what a tripper track sooo stoned and lovng every bit

[loveshackartandphoto]

Anything that Antonio Carlos Jobim ever created was dripping with such Saudade.Out of all the versions that have been perfomed by many artists.Mr.Peterson captured my imagination of beautiful sun,surging waves,and magical nights of romance in the vibrant nights of Rio.Thanks for Wave by Oscar Peterson

[Donreos]

Que musica ohhhh, genios gracias por componer arte!!! Vientos Vientos

[Strings1977]

If you take on of the worlds greatest composers and give the material to one of the worlds greatest pianists, you end up with this...

[Arjen1711]

Claus Ogerman made it the best ......this AC Jobim song.

[cdstingj]

Exquisite

[nerkman]

This song is like a dream unfolding, enveloping you, like a gentle wave.

It was reported that this was Tom Jobim's favourite interpretation of his masterpiece.

[paytonfit]

Beautiful! Let's all go over Stephan's house and hang out and listen to some tunes! Stephan you've got me staying up half the night listening to all your great music! Oscar rules!
