Oscar Peterson - Rare Performance 'Poutin' - Blues (Ben Webster)

[ballvl1]

Why don't people applaud after Oscar's solo?

[hswatnik]

cool video with an outstanding turn by the bassman-

[CubanInLondon]

This is one of my top tunes by the wonderful Mr Webster. Is it just me or in his collaboration with Peterson the latter took a back seat more often than when Ben played with Art Tatum? Hmmm... just thinking. Was listening to the double CD "The Legendary Sessions" today and thought that compared with "The Album" (Ben/Art), there's not as much parity as there was in the latter. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. In the meantime, I'm digging this. Thanks.

Greetings from London.

Ben Webster... The Brute ... Its a brutal sound indeed.

[CanMetan]

All the instruments sound amazing... it's just... the drum solos? Why are they so off the music? I both listen jazz and death metal. Death metal has many violent - creative drum solos but they are consistent with the music. I LOVE jazz, yet I'm not able to comprehend the drum solos of it

[MrPianoguitar]

@CanMetan a solo is a "play time soul" , as well you can play with the time but there is a logic after all

[TheIsraDave]

Wow! One doesn't hear Oscar play blues in minor too much. He should have done it more often!

[TheIsraDave]

wow!!!!!!!!

I have a good friend who played jazz piano, studied at Berklee, had his own trio from age 16. The night he heard Oscar Peterson live he stopped playing and hasn't touched the concert grand in his home for 30 years now. Sad, but he was so overwhelmed by Oscar's playing he felt he would never even come close. So he quit.

[jopstr]

@semana2 The same thing happened for Oscar when he was aorund 13 - he heard Art Tatum for the first time and quit piano for about 2 months. Luckily he returned playing.

Get your young folks and friends and kids on here to watch this. Tell them Jonny said "This is history, kids. Take a good look. This is the stuff." Tell 'em to listen with their whole bodies.

[vova47]

It is available on DVD. It´s called " Ben Webster in Hanover." Check it out on amazon or any other of your favourite dealers.

[OscarPetersonFan]

I think this is in Germany in 1973, one of the last performaces of Ben Webster. I'm not sure.

[170672346]

Webster scores because of his supreme intelligence in not directly trying to compete with Petersons technique - playing as he did when producing one of the finest of the Tatum group masterpieces in the fifities. It's beautiful, many thanks for posting
