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...

No; this is definitely Oscar Peterson and Herbie Hancock. An Evening With Two Grand Pianos does include Billie's Bounce, but it's a different version from the one in this video.

Not one to avoid an erroneous statement...I stand corrected in my reference to "chops". You are totally correct!

@geomrtn When did I make the comment that you are replying to? You should know that the word "chops" is used in reference to ANY musician's ability on ANY instrument... not just an instrument that is blown to produce sound. Not only that... but there are many different types of chops, eg;

technical

musical

performance

endurance

etc

@DrumTchr ...Title not mistaken, duel is between chords not players...and wouldn't have use the word "chops", not blowing anything. Wouldn't compare styles, more so the trail blazer and the path finder...figure Herbie had to have listened and learned from him in his life...and quite sure he loved his work.

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.

@Andreeeiiii and Herbie doesn't? He bends rhythmically on the basic groove but he never falls out!
