Ah, I wondered where Bach was in this. He shows up at about 3:45. Nice clip!

I'm not at all sure that Oscar and Niels are dead. Maybe WE are, but not they.

How colourful is the harmony and the chord changes Oscar makes at 06:24 - 06:31. DEEP.

@fiftieslover rules, math, and feelings are all involved--the Masters know how to combine them all to artistic glory

[fiftieslover]

@joergen100 But "isn't it the feeling that matters" to quote John Coltrane? I believe that music should be the opposite of "mathematical" as art in general. Should not a musician forget about the rules and focus on his feelings?

@guweck Hi there, know what you mean, but isn't it the other way around: The Jazz masters learned so much from (especially) the Baroque era:-)

Both Jazz and Baroque is highly mathematical, and relying on an almost superhuman technique

@hydrosun83 Hello, I don't recognize any specific Bach piece but Peterson has composed something in a Bach Style. I don't hear much in the way of counterpoint but there is some of that and the major motif. Peterson then improvises brilliantly on his own Bach-like impression and it's a fine jazz performance, as usual.

@JHJennings

thanks

If there was a fine Bösendorfer, it was made for Oscar Peterson

@Chezmat1 Oscar wrote it in 1985 for J. S. Bach's 300th birthday. It's not a collaborative piece. It's consisted of 3 movements - Andante - Allegro - Bach's Blues. Enjoy!
