Oscar Peterson Interview with Andre Previn Part 2

[MrPoupard]

Wow. That's one helluva anectdote about Horowitz and Art Tatum!

[harrywilkinson1]

Two great pianists interchanging their views on Art Tatum. enthralling. pathar

[snaaptaker]

And Horowitz never played Tea for Two again.--lol

[Dolphidood]

What a great man! Art tatum was an alien because he practically lived on the piano and not planet earth however Oscar did live on earth but despite this fact the fact that they are two of the best jazz musicians ever will always remain.

[GuyMagicFingers]

Previn's got cojones playing jazz infront of Oscar!!

[Santosificationable]

Do me a favor, bazzat, get out.

[bazzatt1]

That was a stupid comment about HOROWITZ,..,.,

Art tatum could never,ever play the CARMEN FANATASY FOR PIANO in classical style.

There is just a few pianists today that can play that piece at the real tempo,correct.



[MCalixte89]

@bazzatt1 lol foolish response. the difference is, tatum improvised things that most other musicians had to sit down and compose to make. plan and simple. he had a genius mind, regarding music

[MCalixte89]

@bazzatt1 n tatum could play carmen easy

[Santosificationable]

@bazzatt1 Sorry, bazzat, okay, maybe he can't play it classical style right on the spot (he would probably have to do a little practice first), but hey? Next thing we know, he's doing all those fuck-fast runs, dissonant jazz chords, stride etc. in an insanely faster tempo and make you think as if there were three pianists playing.

Understand that Tatum defeated a dozen of the greatest jazz pianists who ever lived in cutting contests, and garnered praise from even Rubinstein or Rachmaninoff.

[bazzatt1]

KEITH JARRETT IS THE BEST JAZZ PLAYER ,.,.,PERIOD,.,.

[JHJennings]

They're both extremely generous to us! This is wonderful to see/hear.

[LEONCODAJJ]

El tema que inicia ANDRE PREVIN en el minuto 4 : 12 es SWEET LORRAINE

[Sepharite]

This is such an amazing interview..

[STCSTBSTA]

please tell what song is it at 4.13

[londonchops67]

[DanielMcDrtcomposer]

Go on the BBC..

[remyleimena]

This one also

[boundaryzero]

Wow, what year/decade was this taken in? 70's?

[1jayloew]

love it...just a couple cats chillin...only way it could be better is if it were in one of thier homes over a couple beers

[Morahman7vnNo2]

"Just now..." Ow that still boils me even thinking of Tatum.

[TrainSounds]

RIP Oscar Peterson

[hamiltonjsh]

two amazing dudes just chattin and playin a little!! wonderful

[Flextones]

Fastest gun in the West. Fastest pianist in the world. Play yourself. Copying Tatum or memorizing classical music is not where it's at. That is not creativity. Make your own music. That is where you get respect. I agree totally with these guys. They have got good ears and memories. You can hear the Tatum influence in Oscar's playing but he is not a clone.

[bryan3550]

"Uh, alright, anyway" says Andre after introducing Sweet Lorraine...

Wow!

[ThePiano1991]

NIce to hear that story about Horowitz!

[MartynInEurope]

Who can't love Andre .. Oscar was a great too

[ThePiano1991]

I can only wish he was still with us!

[qpwoeireuty]

oscar! i miss so much.

[Streamline09]

Wonderful! Thank you.

[Etude69]

Oscars tremendous talents, great intelligence, wit, and decency as a fine Human being will like his music go into history. Just like his idol the legendary and incomaparble Art Tatum! Now they play together again!

[keybobrob]

@Etude69 thank you Etude,,ur commenet through me off guard...and i literally cried. Thank you for allowing me to grieve and rejoice with that simple last statement in ur post. Wow...i did not cry yet about the loss of him until just now. Bless u. AND Thank you Newjackswing21 ...for posing such AMAZING FOOTAGE of MR. PREVIN AND MR. TATUM. It touched my soul deeply.

[lukefenderrhodes]

[dylan9236]

he is so well spoken, and interesting to listen to.

[Likespending]

I love oscar peterson, and think andre previn was nothing less than superb and honest and informative (if I spelt that right). Great video.

[jaymusic143]

Thanks newjackswing21! RARE to see an interview with Oscar, and yet with such a formidable talent as Previn. I'm subscribing to your vids. Great stuff!--JS from billevanswebpages site)

[bigwm]

This is such a great window into such a phenomenal artist, at his peak Oscar was untouchable. Sadly missed.
