Oscar Peterson - Boogie Blues Etude

[notyourdadskeyboards]

no one can hear it like oscar.

[ElkayMartin]

Those are the hands of God.

[pennylaneqq]

I love this piano, man!

[Urbino237]

What happened to the video quality?

[Warspick]

..fuck you...you're so awesome Peterson.....

[starboy288]

Incredible physical pianistic facility and musical thinking. Totally high octane.

Met him after a concert at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. & was the first one in the meet and greet room. Innocently asked him if he used the fourth finger of the left hand much, and he chuckled, and said, "Often"...Lol

[paulprocopolis]

Stunning - incredible technique and imagination. What a treat!

[DrAwesome9090]

2 people just had to ruin it

[megamashful]

@DrAwesome9090 I know!!!!!!

[killzpianocam]

@DrAwesome9090 2 dicks 

[leboof1986]

oscar peterson just broke my laptop :)

[megamashful]

@leboof1986 hahahaha.....metoo sort of....His hands were too fast for the laptop to read it

[killzpianocam]

@leboof1986 lol ya

[doretgar]

@Kinjutsuu omg...

[folecar]

This is plain godlike maturity combined with sheer awesomeness and virtuosity.



[yichuankoay83]

What can I say? It's just pure legendary!

[JHighland1]

so stupid that one person has to press the dislike button just for shits

[thedirtymeatball]

hes got 10 negro slaves workin at that keyboard

[rrribbbit]

Well well well!!! There's one person who doesn't like his thumbs!

[iamthe007]

His hands are like two beautiful dancers....

[ropanueva]

Too many young piano players think it's about how fast you can play. Not so. It's the left hand that makes or breaks a pianist. Oscar's got a great left hand to along with a great right hand. All the piano jazz greats have a great left hand. Oscar, you'r e beautiful, baby!

[DEUSECOMIGO10]

surpreendente esse pianista acho q se ele e o Arthur Moreira Lima - Pedacinhos do Céu - Kaiser Bock Winter Festival - 1997 tocassem juntos seria magnifico......

[kMoney6231]

that man is playing his heart out!

[johnny4blues]

Pure genius....!! I'm speechless...

[Naltino]

Some dumb ass dislikes this? I'd be interested to know what type of music they like. Perhaps Britney Spears and Rhianna. In other words.....people with no real musical talent. If you don't like this....damn it get a brain!

[TheAllisterwhiteside]

someone wanted to add this to their favorites but missed and hit the dislike button!

[ruki25]

@TheAllisterwhiteside DAMN THIS NEW YOUTUBE LAYOUT!

[profesordepiano]

No me canso de escuchar a Oscar Peterson!!!!!!!!

[OliveiraGR198pp]

aki no youtube deveria ter a opção AMEI porque eu amei

[cuatrissimo]

Jesus man, What can you say?

[Xiphosss]

1 guy is deaf, mute, blind, and let's don't forget, IDIOT.

[A6rs6eni6c]

Incredibly good! I would love to have seen this in real... thank you Mr.Peterson for your countless contribution to music! It's boogie time!! : )

[motnahpraw37]

Whenever you mention dislikes (either gratitude for no dislikes or disgust at dislikes) someone will dislike the video. So stop going apeshit over dislikes and enjoy the video. Thanks.

[studioduplo]

which cunt disliked this?

[spamster21]

Mr. Peterson at the pinnacle of his musical art and technical prowess!

[TheWiganMiner]

I've always liked the expression on Niels and Barney's faces, realising they've got the best seats in the house. And all credit to Barney having to step up and do his piece after that explosion of genius. Unlimited power, class and swing. The best. (And I can never forget those lampshades either!!!)

[Bnosrettaptrebor]

So where's the second piano or does he have more than ten fingers?

[andreppstos]

happy blues ^.^

[matt650able]

how could anyone dislike this? Best piano lesson in history... Oscar Peterson will never be frogotten.

[fuerstenmusi]

5:59 not even the camera can handle that ...

[MrAx10]

it is very unfortunate, that one person misclicked

[RiTu1337]

After all this time, here's the inevitable first dislike. Screw you, disliker!

[DeathDriftS15]

HOLY SHIT BEST Concert of Oscar EVER!!!!!!!!! Oscar will stay in my mind forever as the best jazz pianist ever in the world!!!

[16yearoldwhiteboy]

They should make people give a reason to dislike a video cause that's just not right!

[pianoheld]

One person clicked the wrong button!

[artrocker65]

The thing is that poor creatures that like to dislike videos just for the sake of disliking them are not into "Oscar Peterson ", "Boogie" or "Blues" and they surely don't know what the word Etude means. :)

[AnyaJaasper]

it`s really cool!! i hope, i`ll be able to do it!! ;)

[moforocnrol]

i bet he would kick ass in guitar hero..

[northernoir]

Oscar Peterson and Glenn Gould.

Two Canadian gifts to the piano.

[G3r0n1mo]

728 / 0

Never seen such a good rate before on YT.

If i can play anything with my two hands what he plays with his one finger, i'll be the best today.

[zygomatrix]

Last night, I played exactly like this, yes,

OK, it was a dream, Do'nt be so cruel.

[hiro4054]

すごすぎる。。。。そりゃバーニーも苦笑いしちゃうわ。。

[gabigluck]

What did he play before that the crowd were going so crazy??

[LaMaisondeCasaHouse]

I only have two words for this: the first is "Holy" and the second is "Mackerel"

[TheEatribs]

I thought it'd be cool to be the first person to dislike it.. but i couldn't do it

[Remies01]

@TheEatribs same here! lol

[toffer99]

@TheEatribs that makes you somewhat cool.

[GiannosBlack]

No Words!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST AMAZING!!!!

[nathanalexander28]

yo i love how physically close they are when playing together....

u definately cant drift off into your own thing then :P

[jackthehatuk]

Oh to have bumbled into Ronnie Scotts that night. Oscar is a legend.

[jimicheesecake]

best thing i love about this video....NO DISLIKES. THANK YOU PEOPLE FOR BEING AWESOME.

[woodtick71]

@jimicheesecake your welcome

[Brighton1422]

@jimicheesecake Are you crazy? That's not the best thing, THE MUSIC he's playing is the best thing!!

[Musicbychuckjvl]

what in the world?????????????????????????­?????

[OnlyThus]

probably more water in the sweat off oscars nose at 3.03 than the in whole of my body after a 10km run.

j/k oscar is the man. this video gave me chills and ran electricity all over my body.

[VandalColor]

what da fk!!!

[SirDizzyFingers]

my GOD! THIS IS HEAVEN! :D:D

[jpenneyatyahoodotcom]

I'm gonna spend the next 5 years of my life learning from 6:30 to 6:50

[RayfieldA]

@jpenneyatyahoodotcom Good Luck! Please make sure you post a video on here when you Succeed!!! Seriously!

[MrAx10]

@jpenneyatyahoodotcom yea because 6:51 to 7:13 is peanuts ;)

[sgriffish]

Oscar is the all time greatest jazz pianist imo. The coolest thing though is that if you listen closely to him in his live performances you can actually hear him humming the improvs along with his hands. He hears it in his head before he plays it. Unreal. RIP Oscar.

[bigsharklokmane]

I can't belive it no haters in this song is normal it's Oscar Peterson the magnificent

[Chopin1986]

This great musicians shows everytime I watch him play how great it is to be musician!!!!!! JUST LEGENDARY!!!!!!!

[tuplivez]

If only i were this good at anything



[fisher00769]

The sewing machine is jelous.

[dutanada]

Dahsyyyyaaaaaatttt..!!!!!!!!!

[xylfox]

NEVER;NEVER seen on Youtube a vid that has 569 likes and noooooooooooo,zero.null dislikes!!!!!!!!! Absolut sensational!!! That says all about Oscar!!!!!

[GamerBoy53]

This guy was amazing. He was going so fast, at some parts it seemed like he was too fast for the recording. Like around 7:00 it sounded like something only he could fully comprehend, it was so fast.

[afertyus1000]

a lot of his vids seem to have similar riffs though

[tonydmen1]

great video

[leon38588]

God bless you in heaven, happy birthday B

I will care Alex , with love all my life.

^^v^^sssgn^^^^v^^

Lisa de Alex

[leon38588]

FOR MY FATHER , .... happy birthday , ^v^ enjoy the MUSIC ^v^ in heaven ^v^ , Alex and his Lisa ♪♥♪

[luca21dt]

un fenomeno..

[1sonofkush]

you see that sweat dripping from Oscar's face, that's what you call passion brothas and sisters, this is where it all began, to master music, you have to first have passion, this is something that we have none of today, no passion.

[marcostrada5]

The maximum

[ghairraigh]

I love the quote of Duke Ellington's "Main Stem" at 2:45.

[BaggerTheVance]

thought I'd heard it all until 5:40 then I exploded - unbelieeeeeeeevable!

[reemanmusic]

I died , I'm dead now... I let go of everything and let it in... great way to go out.

[Lightmane321]

I wish I had a fast forward switch, so I too could play the piano like that ; )

[jonnyb69able]

so beautiful!.

[sugarve]

The God of piano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joerock20]

O´Peterson rules !!!!! 

[uzaysamet]

why czerny wrote etudes like this?! =\

[HomerJ666]

0 people disliked it. epic!

[savedbythemerv]

@HomerJ666 definitely says something about oscar's legacy

[willadams1980]

Incredible.

[JammyJoh]

I actually clapped at the end

[alfasax]

Oscar! You rascal you! I'm ruined for anybody else. OMG! Who's next, Eldar?

[folopo2]

Youtube should disable the "dislike" button for this video

(an idiot will press dislike after reading this)

[folopo2]

OP fodão!!

[fvbl1000]

КАКОЕ УДОВОЛЬСТВИЕ ОТ ИСПОЛНЕНИЯ "БУГИ" Я ЧУТЬ СО СТУЛА НЕ СОСКОЛЬЗНУKЛ!

[jeremiahweir]

UnReal!



[NarimatsuMusic]

it really does say something when their is not a single dislike on a video..

[Singlerity]

﴾͡๏̯̯͡͡๏﴿

[rbosque]

Wonderful! Extraordinary to say the least!

[perceivemedia]

At 5:37 I could've slapped my computer off this table.

[zorbazig]

@perceivemedia ;-D) Yeah he's literally stratospheric !!!!!!

[budaiendreistvan]

Unbelievable talent ! Majestic !

[sacha1992able]

oh yeah com on!



[Carehuea]

FUCK ME!!!!!

[uglymoon78]

Overwhelming artistry.

[datojgenti]

დიდებული ხარ ოსკარ,,,,დიდებული,,,,,

[viduayte]

I just had my first real orgasm.

[TheGroovestock]

One of the few gods of Jazz piano!! and the best...

[Piano8myhomework]

at 7 mintues my face just started melting. it was like i had glimpsed the art of god!

[varscht]

I never heard of Oscar until recently. Pop radio has LET ME DOWN. All those wasted years of listening to girl bands and boy bands and Britney Houston and a thousand illiterate rappers (anyone see the irony in that?) when I coulda been listening to Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday, Benny Goodman, Theolonius Monk, Wynton Marsalis, Coleman Hawkins

[SYNTHPAINTANN]

OP .. so immersed in playing piano...play this to your youngsters. 

[jonnyb69able]

i was born in 62 but i love this music, so exsiting and expressive. good music never dies, only people.

[DaveEnsor]

probably more talent in the sweat off oscars nose at 3.03 than the in whole of modern pop music combined.

[reemanmusic]

@DaveEnsor yup.

[filosnet]

OMG...

[spenserhuang515]

people gotta start to learn how to enjoy the blues

thank you BB King for leading me to the blues

Thank you Oscar Peterson for playing such amazing blues

Starting to love the blues~

XD

[countrycatfish02]

best pianist period

[NarimatsuMusic]

Can you imagine being that guitarist and have to follow that... Good God

[theodoremarvel]

That's the gigantic Barney Kessel - laying out in respect for Oscar, but capable of Jimmy Bryant style swagger and flash.

[NarimatsuMusic]

@theodoremarvel Guys like this are just at a different level, and when you put them together like this they just compliment eachother in the best way.

[AntiguoShergot]

que dolor de manos me estan entrando!!!! THE FUCKING GOD!!

[a7xdude87]

I F*CKING LOVE THIS VIDEO =|

kacsalin, my hat off to you for uploading this gem.

I can now die happy after witnessing such genius.

Still though, Lady Gaga gets collectively over a billion hits for what is essentially garbage, yet this gets just over 70,000... =\

WHAT IS THIS BACKWARDS ARSE WORLD I LIVE IN!?!?! *cries*

[VendettaMax]

3:20 Barney thinking: "I'm not actually sure I could follow him right now"

[tahidor]

The older I got the faster rythm I like in jazz!

[anlilars]

nice to see that he's playing so good and fast that his fingers just become a blur

[rozrob1]

Ося Петерсон по буги спец знатный.. врубал квадрат в фано...опрятно:)

[wasamareyu]

WHAT THE FUCK?????

[ita2255]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[douchefagful]

my ears just jizzed

[lowii237]

Thank you Oscar for the years of wonderfull performances

[FreddyVaccarezza]

is fantastic

cada día me gusta más

each day is better

[kocotube01]

thank U Oscar !

[kimpeccable]

OP makes me openly weep, but please don't leave out Errol Garner--his virtuosity makes my hair stand up ;-). After you hear their kind of genius everything else sounds like leftovers.

[TheEnglishRedneck45]

@kimpeccable I only heard of Errol Garner after seeing the Peterson and Previn interview here on youtube, when Peterson mentions Garner just once, but with a huge amount of respect - he asks Previn to stop talking about Garner due to his incredible playing. I haven't looked back since, now a fully fledged Peterson/Garner lover.

[phaedrustoga]

It's just Oscar! How I miss him.

[frankrm78]

Now look at 6:03: he was relaxed like he was playing the easiest part of the piece!

[spixieangeldust]

that piano aint no virgin no more 8D

dont u just love oscar? he is awesome... yes... yes he is 8DD

[6gentex]

What an incredible unreal talent he was. One of a kind! No doubt the "Maharaja of the keyboard"

[newstart2009]

Why did they video this and film the one for Ella?

[tatacass1]

É o maior!!!!!!

[player0639]

It doesn't get any better than this folks!

[09musician]

He is the best piano player ever beside art tatum and ray charles I mean there are good player now but dont compare because they dont play the same connotation and/or variations, look at his timing an rhythm, HE'S A BEATS!!!!!

[09musician]

He is the best piano player ever beside art tatum

[totally81a]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU.. OSCAR CAN SWING!!!

[fastfacts]

WTF U DOIN?

[Jakesonaplane]

Hot damn.

[yaaruka789]

they are the gratest band ever and oscar is SO DAMN good!!!!

i wush to play like him with other players behind me. its a dream!

[Perkapuff]

Oslagbart = unbeatable !

Pure magic...

[gammaray0wn]

Haha that guitarist is looking at some points like he is thinking "WHAT THE FUCK?!" while Niels Pederson looks on knowing not to even try and play along while Oscar is going crazy.

[bsfrankfurt]

Oscar is still the very best!

Awesome !!

[peh123123]

that poor poor guitar player.

[TheGospelGhost]

Beethoven didn't roll over in his grave, he popped out to see who's tearing up that piano!! Oscar Peterson was so awesome.

[Worldmusicrevolution]

:-O!!!!!!!!!

[tatacass1]

Quanto talento numa pessoa só !!!!!!!

[zquikkoz]

0 dislike so far thats SWEET!

[HyperDuckMusic]

A sharp pain went through my head when he his that last note, I actually think that was 8 minutes of hypnotic brilliance. R.i.p. Mr. Peterson. Also, watch Barneys face and Niels eventually too, they can't help but smile. Who could resist, really?

[TheGunulv]

Nobody, just nobody will ever do this again.

By the way, take a look at Oscar and Keith Emerson....
