I hate to be the voice of truth here , but yes , Marion plays as fast if not faster than Oscar , but Oscar had much more feeling and expression in his playing . A true Jazz Pianist would recognize this . Marion repeats the same licks many , many times within a solo which gets rather tiring . Yes , Oscar did this , too....but Marion seems to do it excessively . But make no mistake , he is amazing ! Oscar and Tatum are still the best ! BTW....bassist sounds lost half of the time.

He did do more with this one than Oscar did, but this is also 30+ years later..

Art Tatum...Oscar Peterson... Marian Petrescu: Holy trinity on the piano

He was just here in Palm Beach. I hear a lot of Art Tatum in his playing.

This is a more delicate Marian than I've previously heard. The more I listen to Marian, the less I care to listen to anyone else.

I think you'll be influence by amny types,genre,of music so some riffs some lines can look like to other ; but in fact the context the players the sound of instruments dertermine the music which is played.Listen music and don't be care about misconceptions of "music critics" ;)



You can definitely hear Oscar Peterson's influence in there, but to be perfectly honest he has surpassed what Oscar did, if you check his other video clips. You'll see what I mean. He doesn't have to sound like Oscar. He is great in his own right.

Please go to Resonance Records and pick up A Tribute to O.P., introducing Marian Petrescu. There is a CD in the set, it's wonderful. Marian can play like O.P. but there is a bonus and it's his uncanny individualism he puts into all his work.
