The title is mistaken. This is NOT a piano duel. It is a meeting of the minds (and chops) of 2 great artists who happen to be legendary piano players. They are stylistic opposites in jazz, but show that when you are a great artist, it's possible to collaborate with another great artist for a common goal. In this case it was to make some great, rare and legendary music. The goal was accomplished 1,000 fold and we are culturally the better for it.

If you are denying the influence of classical music on jazz, then you really don't understand anything of jazz at all. It's about open-mindedness, not about competition and stating that clasical composers 'owe' something to jazz...

Really? It's a duel? So Oscar curbstomped the match in the first 6 rounds doing all his speedy runs and insane licks, but then Hancock evened it out playing something innovative in the next 4 rounds, so it kind of ended in a tie?

Oh wait. Just why are "fiends" watching this video?

I love the contrast between Oscar's more "inside" approach and Herbie's more "modern" or "outside" approach. It really isn't about who's "better". I like outside playing better because I'm "young", but you have to love that old-school Tatum'/ Peterson way of doing things as well.

This is the kind of bebop Jack Kerouac wrote about, especially in "On The Road". Ingenius music. His prose is written so that when read over bebop jazz, it rings with poetry and improv.
