i love the repeated phrase at 3:04 in the right hand, when it finalises at 3:09 and the bass enters in again, it's just amazing!!!! i replayed that bit for ages haha
@MegaMembrane yep, he'd often hum along to his improvisations, voicing out what he was hearing in his head as he played. It's really noticeable on many of his studio albums, and a number of other jazz pianists did the same.
@elchet Some other grunt/scat-along pianists include Bobby Timmons, Erroll Garner, and Eddie Higgins just to name a few. All three great pianists in their own rights.
Holy Crap! This is amazing!

They don't need this judgment: (....) is best. All of them was BEST. Tatum, Powell, Monk, Garner. Evans, Tristano, Petrucianni etc...

Its a really rare video as Oscar did not record Ill Wind on any of his records. A real scoop! well done!

The young Oscar here, despite sometimes excessive flash and arpeggio, is irrepressably inventive -- without equal.

Well, if its an Art Tatum cover, that's what you'd expect.

Great to see this! The song is called "Ill Wind". Oscar played it regularly as a tribute to Art Tatum.
Thanks a lot!
