Oscar Peterson: Satin Doll (Duke Ellington)

[JazzSwagg23]

Cigarette holder..which wigs me..over her shoulder..she digs me..I'm cattin! that satin doll!

[ElectraOnAzaleaPath]

Why spend our lives aspiring to lick the boots of the petersons and mozarts of this age. They were MEN and some brilliantt youg man or woman will one day surpass them. Thats the way it oughta be.

[KillswitchEngage42]

@ElectraOnAzaleaPath We have to know where we've been before we attempt to surpass.

[GarlandDrest]

@KillswitchEngage42 I don't deny that - its the idol worship I oppose lol

[KillswitchEngage42]

@GarlandDrest Sure, I can understand that. It's interesting to me though. One can't "play what they feel" in a certain genre if they aren't a true listener. So many players in my high school tell me they won't transcribe a Roy Eldridge solo because that would be stealing. In a way, that's saying, "I won't learn the theory of relativity, I'll make up my own first."

[stracepipe]

The greatest jazz pianist who ever lived. The only criticism I've ever heard of Oscar, is that he was too good.

[ubruband1]

nice hamonization

[dcollier56]

The absolute best bass I've ever heard on this tune. I love this mans ideas and execution. Don't know who he is but damn he's good.

[Charliecrunk]

@dcollier56 It's NHOP on the upright bass :P

[benekire]

Excellent. That's it !!! 

[AJGdrums]

Martin Drew sounds great on this tune. RIP big man you are sadly missed.

[eqsmooth]

@AJGdrums You know who Martin Drew is? I mean who would know that? I used to go see him play w/Oscar in San Francisco at the Fairmount Hotel. He'd be there w/Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (The Great Dane) and sometimes Joe Pass. Those were great gigs.

[AJGdrums]

@eqsmooth He and my dad were freinds. I met him a few times. Great drummer.

[thoostorm4]

@AJGdrums pro bullshit

[paulsnelljr]

Satin Doll with an interlude of Lady of the Lavender Mist. Truly delightful!

[rockdoesntdie]

wow!

[attiliotroiano]

Swing Swing Swing !

[Superphilipp]

The bass sounds like an EUB.

[xjessi69x]

I PRACTICE AND PRACTICE only in hopes to be ass good lol 

[brickpaverr]

Correct me if I'm wrong but is the music of satin Doll out of sync with Oscar Petersons fingers and the rest of the musicians.?

[TeunvsT]

@brickpaverr

yes the video is out of sync

[rockinronniewood]

I'm hearing a voice saying something all the time behind the music, I don't know what it is, If someone hear it too, tell me

[rockdoesntdie]

@rockinronniewood I think it's oscar who's completely into the groove (and quite frankly, I can't blame him!)

[Flawinhoh]

4:04 It is an outrage.

Isso é um desaforo.

[gustave436]

Très bonne musique,Peterson est digne d'un exellent joueur de piano.

[bisciu1967]

superb version! great rhythm section!

[AndreaPortovenere]

big band style

[jotape115]

Satin doll interrompida...

[DonConstantinos]

[unfinished93]

[jaybion]

Martin Drew was a great and under appreciated drummer with some great chops.

[djenzzen]

So nice, pure genious :-)

[jtromsness]

things ain't the way they used to be

[vellkeyz]

he is speaking my language

[rosolino38]

Genius

[snoozlag]

I got to see OP at the Albert Hall in London maybe 8 years ago. I just hoped he played Satin Doll. He did. Returning at the end on the concert for an encore he sat down and played....Satin Doll. I nearly wept!! The last time I saw him perform. RIP OP.

[hellojacobhitch4545]

the camera shot for the first minute or so is brilliant

[gobopp2002]

fantastic!

[jazzboyfin]

Now Martin Drew has gone too. A truly great drummer and trio. RIP Martin

[lovemydogsmucho]

@jazzboyfin

Now they're all gone. I presume because the Great One has learned to appreciate certain kinds of jazz at last.

[MrBobFrance]

@lovemydogsmucho

Not quite - glad to say that George Shearing and Dave Brubeck are still around.

[occiloscope]

@jazzboyfin Sorry to hear that. Another great loss. RIP Martin.

[naturalmystic720]

[Verreck24]

this is awesome.

i dont see how anyone could not enjoy this.

beautiful.

[mkrznar]

this is playing! Oscar was the best

[bodensee2]

It is true he was the best of the world!!!!!! and the best recordings are from MPS regards from Germany:)

[3025429]

Duke Ellington Would Be proud!!!!!

[JoseStev]

This is seriously tastey.

[mperik71]

I guess there must be playing a heavenly orchestra 'upstairs' by now with all these legendary performers... Thanks for

all your good deeds here on earth, Oscar and Niels-Henning!

[jazzguitardotcom]

These guys are the house band.

[SebastienLoong]

You see that's the beauty of music - just by doing something you enjoy, for a what actually is a self-centred thing, becomes a giving, deed of goodness, not by morals but by music. That's really cool.

[LR5]

Holy fuckshit.

[jazzkeyboardman]

At one point, he launched into Basie's "Corner Pocket" ....during a performance of the band I play in, I recently did the same ...it was met by tumultuous applause. Sorry, Oscar (Master)....i stole Your thunder.

[Jazzper79]

RIP Oscar Peterson and Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen.

[bodensee2]

was the best trio ever!!!!!!!!!

[ClassicalOJazz]

Jazz Genius!

"Academic grandson" of Franz Liszt, Oscar Peterson was always 10 stars.

And I saw him playing live.

Exceptional unique Pianist.

Rest in Peace Master.

[visor109]

Oscar knew how to pat those keys!!

[ChameleonsHead]

Amazing version !

[yemenmushroom]

dont we all love oscar peterson...

[ridleyrockets]

This guy was great in The Last King of Scotland.

[inemcik]

You arse!

[anhacus]

LOL. You're experiencing MMOS Mass Media Overwhelmed Syndrome, where the confusion of a plethora of actors and musicians with similar appearances are bleeding into one another. I believe there's medication for that now.

[billevans1234]

King of Canada....

[Iynchpin]

Dude that was Charlie Parker.

[f4k3m4n]

I lol'd.

[fgtrejo]

i think this is my all time favourite version of this tune. thanks for posting!

[54spiritedwill54]

This man is a legend.....bigger than Elvis ...in my opinion xD

[flashnizmmm]

in what way do you mean?

in music oder physics?

[donotclickonthis]

both dude

[JoseStev]

Oscar is a legend of jazz

[jjls123]

Oscar Peterson said once when Art Tatum came into the bar where he was playing that he had to stop playing. (Tatum learned to play by roller piano - 4 hands and was partially blind.)

[sameerlal832]

A.W.E.S.O.M.E

[Vitamine101]

This tempo, I like best. RIP, Sir Peterson.

[RSemar11]

Man, they're sitting RIGHT in the pocket. I've never heard Satin Doll groove this hard.

[jjls123]

Hard to unsap Satin Doll, to my thinking.

[maranomarcelo]

Que bonito sabor....esto es como me gusta el piano jazz

[SpaceRider1980]

theres probably no jazz piano player whos on technically higher level than "holy" oscar peterson.. truly a legend.

[SSJBartSimpson]

art tatum?

[vanderbiltsax]

he's in a whole 'nother league man you can't compare, Art Tatum is blind...

[johnlzy]

I personally like peterson very much. But what you say can be contested. Evans, Tatum were all in the technical 'god status' too.

[johnrocks2hell]

This man is a legend.....bigger than Elvis and everyone else...in my opinion!!!

[ofallthingsgreen]

isn't that obvious, lol

[jjls123]

Elvis is really more about image. Musician, yes, but that stuff they say... 3 chords, 100 people; 100 chords, 3 people. (The latter, jazz of course.)

[loldotalol379]

Mmm... the video and audio isn't synced.

[Jazzsummit]

Arrivederci Mr.Peterson...

Lo sa che aveva un gran Feeling.

Mitico!
