House - MUSIC - Hugh Laurie - Hymn To Freedom (PIANO)

[tidivytidivy]

this episode was my all time favorite.

[PynkWalkr]

Hugh Laurie is a talented actor and sketch comic. He plays the piano for fun.

Oscar Peterson is a talented jazz pianist. He wins grammys for fun.

Get it right, people.

If u want a good version of this song, look up OXAR PETERSON, (He wrote it)

[gammaray0wn]

@RandyNewmanFan I think you mean Oscar Peterson?

[RandyNewmanFan]

@gammaray0wn We jazz pianists refer to him as oxar

[MelleB90]

which episode is this again?

[Mint421]

@MelleB90 Season 2, episode 17

[crazypianolady]

Love it :) Hope everyone has heard the great Oscar Peterson play it as well?

[FDG917]

@crazypianolady I find the best (and characteristically less known today) pianists are always hardest to find sheet music for. Oscar especially, why have people forsaken the king of jazz for today's "music"?

[JoeSippingTea]

@crazypianolady Nah, I don't think so. This piece is appreciated here just because "oh my god, it is House playing piano! Isn't it the most wonderful piano piece ever played?", and they had hardly listened to a jazz piece in full before. Most of thees people are so ignorant they can't even tell an acotr from his character, and they go strolling about the web calling Laurie "House".

[Vthov]

@JoeSippingTea So typical of jazz musicians... Does it matter why they are enjoying the piece? House played this piece on the show as House not Hugh Laurie. It's people like YOU that are the reason jazz struggles to get any shine in society. You have to elevate yourself above the casual listener and make them out to be ignorant. So what if they don't know every jazz song ever recorded? Who cares if you do? Let them enjoy the music with out your condescension. Thanks. And I AM a Jazz pianist.

[JoeSippingTea]

@crazypianolady They are the same people infesting youtube with comments such as "I love Hugh!!!". Where were they when he was just a fresh-face, normally-walking, talentuous actor in England?

Ridiculous.

@JoeSippingTea

I guess they weren't born yet, now, were they? :)
