OSCAR PETERSON & JOE PASS

[danielnradu]

And to think he was starting to "slow down: at this age.....

[voxfidei1]

Oscar tiene tres manos -- a mi no me engaña! Oscar has three hands. He doesn't fool me!

:)

[dustydino8]

IT DONT GET NO BETTER THAN THAT !!!

[Conorthevideowatcher]

Is this Cakewalk?

[Vandal18]

@Conorthevideowatcher

Yes it is.

[gabigluck]

how can oscar be categorised as 'human'? he is so far beyond...

[ninni90piano]

OSCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRR

I LOVE  YOU !

[MegaDreamer1960]

7 people are deaf...

[naegling3]

Oscar Peterson's music makes me poop blood... In a good way.

[Hamporkcheese]

Am i the only one that thinks Oscar plays too much during other peoples solos???

[naegling3]

@Hamporkcheese pianists are always in your face with that shit but it's naturally an overbearing sounding instrument.

[nancydrew5]

@Hamporkcheese "Am i the only one that thinks Oscar plays too much during other peoples solos??? "

No you're not. Don't get me wrong. Oscar is BADAZZ!!! But as an accompanist, I wouldn't necessarily choose him. I have a recording of him on Pablo Records with Sarah Vaughan and he played all over her singing sometimes too much IMO. Sarah obviously didn't mind it though otherwise he would have backed off I'm sure and Sarah is a giant in her own right.

[dragmio]

@Hamporkcheese He probably does, but I kinda like it that way. Still, the guitar and the bass should definitely be louder, at least on their solos.

[Maafa1619]

My favorite pianist and my favorite Jazz guitarist. All they needed for complete perfection was for Ella to walk out on the stage.

[hoskammer2012]

I shook hands with Oscar ....his hand was twice as thick as a normal persons.....

[dareem1000]

esto es verdadera música, verdadero arte...

[jimi3b999]

AMAZING!!!!!

[JuTart]

Wow, just wow.I used to hate Jazz music but somehow after listening to older music of the 60's or so and more of Jazz music, I've come to realize Jazz music is TRUE music and TRUE art. How can they come up with that understandable tune impromptu like that?! It's more than just talent. And they enjoy it. Even if it's with rehearsal, I can't imagine the passion I see, and the movement of fingers so easy and natural.

I'm just amazed! This is the 1st time I've listened to Jazz from start to end!!

[Theogrn]

7 people exclusively listen to death core music

[hartin318]

Pienso que sí



[pipiheer]

TREMENDO!!!!!!!!

[dariouru]

[pimenteross]

Canadian pride & fierté canadienne

[CanadaPisces]

Awesome! 

[orlandoyapura]

Maestros todos!! grande Oscar!!

[pesbondi]

THIS IS AWESOMNESS!!!!!!!!!! no words can describe this feeling, smoothness....just God could give him such a talent!!!!!no human can

[makasoona34]

Perfection!

[todd0000420]

GODDAMN thats a big piano

[jamesha175]

@todd0000420 with a big man playing it!

[AlexShyBoy]

swing swing swing in blood! 

[rickariche]

If wish Joe Pass sounded throughout the whole video.

[navigator1944]

The musicians are great, the sound mix really sucks. Joe Pass is completely overwhelmed by the rest of the group during his solo.  A real shame, it could have been an all time great performance. All that said, it is still worth it for Oscar's performance.

[pascjen]

really great musician, and I think 5 that do not like it, must be deaf or have to hate the Jazz!

[apple360]

2:31 - 2:32 oh my god..

[angelialvares]

bloody marvellous!

[fannsia]

素晴らしすぎて勉強に集中できません。笑

[nopipac]

Hello Hartin,

I thank you for this video which you makes us shared and yes Oscar is one of by far better pianist of jazz as well as Joe in the guitar, and the others, mamamia than it is hell all this.

[jonrusch92]

somday I might dream about being as good

[liamvg]

Too bad all of these guys passed away...

[DAGUY]

@liamvg Too bad so many of the greats ones have passed. Most of my favorites are gone. Good thing we have recordings.

[liamvg]

@DAGUY I'm fearing the day my modern favorites pass like Billy Corgan and the remaining members of the Skatalites. :(

[1948Ringo]

Feliz de quem viu!!!!!Deveria ser eterno.

[MegaYoshitsune]

Joe Pass is a bit too quiet, but I'm glad this recording exists at all, so I can't really complain.

[Johnnathun]

Such masterfully gifted guys. I wonder if Oscar and Joe did more work together?

[mfbown]

Finally a bass player that plays in tune :o)

[ita2255]

A real Master of jazz

[Pocketstain]

Must have been right around 1975 I saw Ella, Oscar, and Joe at the Golden Hall in San Diego, CA. Wow! Seeing these videos gives me the chicken skin once again baby.....

[bcdude126]

I just had orgasm

[JimLavallee]

@bcdude126 Could that be called an eargasm?

[VassilisPhilippou]

3:48 - 3:56 > you have to watch this!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!! 20 from 10!!!

[PauseToHesitate]

I don't think any1 besides those who've played bass knows how difficult that solo at 4:02 is ...

[luchoq77]

 Oscar Peterson a true piano maestro RIP.

[enessx1]

Oscar and Joe.I don't think something like that will ever repeat.Maybe in a style of it's own but these two are devouring music and loving it.Thnx for posting.Sounds better than some studio recordings now days...

[kimpeccable]

It doesn't get better than this. Almost all of the musical jazz titans are gone. Thank God so many of these historic moments were preserved. Thanks for posting this!

[bazzatt1]

Classical Music Rules,,.,.,.,.

[monsantofoodpoison]

look at his hands,like a video on fast forward OMG, i'm speechless!!

[TechNed]

Oscar Peterson & Joe Pass ... Individually legendary but I love how when I hear either name mentioned, I always think of the other.

[luardesa]

Excelente!!

[ampz37]

HD this!!

[MaximusDowns]

wish Joe woulda turned up just a little bit more, had a hard time hearing him, but maybe it's just me

[monkeys350]

@MaximusDowns I had a hard time but then I turned surround sound on on my headphones.

[MaximusDowns]

@monkeys350 I'll try that, thanks for the tip :-)!

[ivan89705]

three masters

[ivan89705]

two masters

[lolturnip]

I love when he breaks out the rag style at the end. He does it better than Tatum even though he probably wouldn't agree. Peterson is like the definition of the one-man-band.

[we4peace]

Who is the base player?

[lolturnip]

@we4peace lol bass player. And this was in his later years so he's got his final trio.

Niels Pederson on bass. Martin Drew on drums.

[bigstU25]

HOLY SHIT, THAT GOOOOD!

[jw1218]

the BEST!!

[MrRdub7162]

can;t hear joe to well

[foodlerfood]

this is hot stuff

i would give anything to have been able to see this live

[audiobodie]

Oscar was burning and Joe had to bust out his pick at 240+bpm! Virtuoso's - all of them!

[kwixotic]

He's "bangin' on a Bosie", his favorite piano.

[slickvguy]

Nice 'bye bye blackbird' riff at around 2:00. lol.

[MrFabioTurini]

...e questa!!!

[NeedHeadMusic]

The John Petrucci of the Piano!

[CroissantOrange]

@NeedHeadMusic What? John Petrucci? Your compliment sounds like shit. You don't know what the fuck ya talkin bout you stupid fuck

[LOLOKAKASOSO]

0:41....

[pianoplayer1224]

THis is probably one of the most amazing performances.. EVER! i've never seen Oscar so flaming! The "duel" between Oscar and Joe is absolutely amazing too! :o

Bass solo.. it's just one really crazy and VERY impressing performance!

[bigborss]

a message for the 3 dislikes: ''FUCK YOU''

[hartin318]

Live in tokyo 1987

[clifflisette]

Can somebody please tell me what year this video. Thanks

[gi2k15]

What's the name of this show?

[Orbitapple]

1:04 ^^ ;D

[MultiPoppyCock]

o.o Aweshum.

[dknight2000]

wonderful!!! track name?

[hartin318]

Cake Walk !!

[dknight2000]

@hartin318 tnx ;)

[imprint808]

Oscar Peterson und Joe Pass, die Meister aller Jazzklassen bei der arbeit

[cy3es1]

These guys Rock.

[kanrihan77]

oscar was a pretty good piano player.dats all i got to say.LOL !

[cherylanne3]

IT GIVES ME CHILLS UP MY SPINE

[jaimelarab]

muy buenos todos los musicos pero joe pass era un fuera de serie, lastima que oscar p. no lo dejara lucir.. su piano suena altisimo de volumen no me gustó su protagonismo

[qotsa95]

yo tambien pienso lo mismo:-)

[EminentFront]

When two Geniuses get together, they could EXPLODE!

[MrRad999]

Unbelievably good. Watch him once and quit playing the piano!

[jimraw1]

@MrRad999 I know what you mean. I started playing clarinet in grade school and was pretty good. When I was 17 I discovered Benny Goodman - after trying for a week to come close to the master, I switched to the bass clarinet. The irony here is that Oscar quit playing piano for two months after hearing Art Tatum play Tiger Rag - so I guess the lesson is don't be intimidated - just appreciate the giants for their gift and work hard on your own.

[benigno41]

6.48 oooh Ragtime!!!! yeah!

[HiGuysImChris]

oh my god oscar is the fucking man

[sdealo]

no it's a Wallendorfen

[frankyfunny]

Oscar is amazing...and Canadian :) Go Canada! is that piano a Bosendorfer??

[xxxstazi]

Oscar had God's hands...

[pfeltovich]

Yeah....that's an UNDERSTATEMENT!!!

[trevskiw2008]

Incredible, i loved it!!!

[30percentplusreturns]

Oscar peterson was untouchable.

[vetmusician]

Only one guy could touch him..............the great Art Tatum

[cilcsster]

@30percentplusreturns The Queen just unveiled a life-size bronze statue of OP sitting at his grand, it is adjacent to The Art Centre in Ottawa (The Capital of Canada)

[cilcsster]

I thought so too, until I listened to Resonance Records Marian Petrescu, please do likewise, it will make you very happy!

[bizzare1bizzare]

@30percentplusreturns Oscar Peterson IS untouchable.

[amusiathread]

Amazing. The very definition of what jazz can, and should be. And Joe Pass is genius as always, even when he's sharing the spotlight.

[vetmusician]

I think THAT is the Mark of a genius

[michaeldoku]

this is good music

[61hink]

The bass player is awesome!  Who is he? (It goes without saying that Oscar is awesome)

[jimraw1]

The bass player is Canadian Dave Young, who worked with Oscar for 25 years. He often would play with Oscar because NHOP didn't like to fly. He's also an amazing classical musician (was principal double bassist for Edmonton and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.) Jazz is filled with great side men who never really received acclaim for their individual work but are valued by their fellow musicians.

[Tyetheberious]

@jimraw1 For a wonderful exploration into Dave Young's awesome ability w/ the best guitarist whom has ever lived (or at least equal to), Lenny Breau, check "Live At Bourbon St." by the two. It has been one of my favourites since the moment I heard it.

PS: Thanks to the poster for this great vid. Oscar is insane!!

[cilcsster]

@jimraw1 ...yes, and Dave can be heard playing lots of venues in Toronto, he is a wonderful person as well and musician.

[xylfox]

@jimraw1 Who is NHOP????????

[jimraw1]

@xylfox NHOP is Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, one of the greatest jazz bassists of all time. Often called The Great Dane (with the never-ending name) or The Great Viking, Pedersen replaced Ray Brown in Oscar Peterson's trio when Brown decided to stop touring in the 1970s. Pretty much any major jazz musician that came to Copenhagen would use Pedersen. His technique is staggering (listen to his recording of Donna Lee with Joe Pass; how can anyone play that fast on a string bass) and is missed.

[xylfox]

@jimraw1 Thanks Silly question.I googled and quickly was answered.I know him.He cobined virtuosity and jazz-taste at great level.one can say a Ray Brown lets the bass more sing.

[georgemargaris]

guitar is way too quiet

[georgemargaris]

its a pity the quality isnt better, i would want to watch and hear this in HD

[ecrocksmysocks]

they COOK

[are56]

I just can not understand how it is possible to play like this!:) I "discovered" jazz myself about a year ago, and have heard the jazz musicians ability to play fast and advanced,- charlie parker, john coltrane, wes montgomery, sonny rollins, dave brubeck - just to name a few. But it still amazes me to see and hear this kind of playing. It goes SO beyond the regular pop-music when it comes to rythm and technique:) And I love it! hehe..

[cilcsster]

This playing is certainly not limited to musicians from North Ameerica. Listen to Marian Petrescu, and Andreas Oberg please!!

[baccobirra86]

mamma mia!!spettina!!! mi ha fatto cadere dalla sedia!!!!

[VadimDiver]

As usually,beautifulllllllll ...

I adore when Oscar plays with Count Basie. There are different styles and it's very interesting.

[kakuni23]

elevator jazz - its ok...

[CaptainJazz92]

You are a fucking idiot

[levinshon7]

wowowowowowowowwowowowow i cant beliebe so greaaaaaaaaaaaaat

[LIJ4K4IL]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWO!!!!

SOOOO GOODDD!!!! GODLIKE)!!!!

[anth1957]

Sadly, Oscar died almost two years ago, around Christmas. I got to meet him,and his mitts were big as I thought. He's always been an influence in my piano playing. Look me up, Anth1957 on youtube

[lvl3bomb]

Unreal! UNREAL! How is this possible?! So much energy in his music!

[KukaJoe]

Wow! I've seen the name in print for years but this is the first time I've heard him play. Wow! I'm a new fan. Please tell me he's still around.

[leoteclado123]

Incrível Oscar Peterson... um gênio!!!

[giakmar]

che genio !!

[stevehargreaves69]

6:51 to 7:11 - HOLY SHIT??!!!!!

Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass - two of the greatest jazz players of all time

[moesangensis]

awesome...

[Mastertim2006]

awesome!

[GremorLand]

Insieme si può definire con una parola sola...

ESPLOSIVO!

[luis43bero]

GUAUUUUUUU ...IMPRESIONANTE !!!

[deathofisrael]

HOT,HOT,HOT

[Narimatzu]

incredible

[MegaGoldenboys]

Muito Bom!!!!

[wakold]

amazing players!

[svenningDK]

I love that you can hear Oscar humming if you turn up the volume, shame that Pass is barely audible though.

[OscarPetersonFan]

Ok, now he is striding. Why is he so perfect?

[theroyalpriest]

IKR? And after seeing this vid I'm thinking of stealing ur name...lol

[OscarPetersonFan]

Oscar is THE ONE; I'm just a bad musician who admires him!

[OscarPetersonFan]

I think this is the fastest version of Cakewalk

[marciaorox]

Looks like the operators only got courage to change anything in the master piece when they started to solo & solo.

Then it gets really fair and "harmonic"

Still delighted

[korntwist1]

i barely can hear joe... a shame

[baldlawnmower]

Yeah, no kidding. He needed to be turned up.

[marccoriace]

What is the name of the music please ?

[maumarti63]

cakewalk

[picker999]

Such a bad mix!

Relabel this to just Oscar. It is an insult to Joe but understandably it is the tech who is to blame here.

[BlueMoonGuitar]

Agreed...

It's a shame. What you actually CAN hear of Joe is amazing!

The Sound Tech did a POOR job mixing the sound. The Bass Player got dissed as well. He was also too low in the mix.

[fredjmp]

maravilhoso !

[lefeverthierry]

i can't hear Joe :(

[LSchoenmakers]

Believe me, if Joe isn't playing you would hear it. He's one of the four parts that's making the circle complete, no main part.

[lefeverthierry]

Ja natuurlijk hoor ik hem maar je moet toch muistil zijn en luisteren om hem goed te kunnen horen. De bas hoor je beter. Very nice music anyway.

[Sevisija]

Cakewalk :D

[Elthex]

6:50 is stunning.

[CornishMiner]

It was as if Oscar was suddenly possessed by the spirit of Fats Waller!

[jamespatrick91]

This is awesome but Pass needs to be heard!!

[augie1111]

Where and when was this done? I can't find anything, not even who was on bass and drums. Is this out on some album or DVD? Thanks for any responses. BTW, thanks for the share.:)

[folald]

Having asked on another video, the bass player is Dave Young. He plays an incredible solo on another vid on here in what looks like the same performance, playing 'You Look Good to Me'

[augie1111]

Thanks for your replies folald, I'll look up that cut.:)

[bassmaster9k]

You likely right although he looks and sounds more like NHOP to me. I am, in truth, and idiot though.

[sorenmoller20]

I'm sorry, but it's not NHOP. Can't seem to figure out who it is though.

[bassmaster9k]

I don't know if you saw my last comment but it's definitly Dave Young.

[Sevisija]

Doenst look at all like NHOP :P

[bassmaster9k]

Oops I got to the bass solo and it is most definitely Dave Young. God I'm a moron sometimes. I just spent countless hours transcribing one of his tunes start to finish and I still can't pick out his playing?

[folald]

For augie1111 - the drummer was Martin Drew, recorded Tokyo 1987 apparently
