Here we see Oscar's incredibly vast harmonic knowledge. His unique musicality, imagination, non-human technique and sensibility, too. He is one of the most important artist of the music's History.

If you've got time, you can 'full page' this video and pause, copy, paste into word or something. Word of warning those, these transcriptions are soooo hard to perfect.

If you are too slow or out of time it will sound terrible. You will need to be concert level to play this as it sounds!

And now i can see " Keith Jarret " in the related videos and I think that playing " Entrance " is the easiest shit ever LOL

The funny thing,it is not.

@xlfutur1 Who knows if there will never be another player that surpasses his technique but even Oscar conceded that he was and will always be a student of Art Tatum. Art Tatum was the most accomplished jazz pianist period, technique speaking. Art made Les Paul quit playing the piano, and so Les picked up the guitar. True story.

@xlfutur1 i'm glad you said that, i was really curious if oscar would actually play this if it was sitting infront of him.. it all came from his heart

How many extra fingers did he have???????+

If you put that in front of Oscar to read he wouldn't be able to get through the first page. The guy was beyond amazing. There will never be another piano player in jazz that surpasses his technique and musicality. Only 2nd to Oscar's talent is the person who transcribed this thing!

That clarity, that transparency, that magical, weightless, effortless way of dancing on the keys, connecting the pitches in that amazing crispy, non-legato manner, producing the most beautiful, poetical, nostalgic sound as if it were the easiest thing in the world... I only know one more artist capable of that: Vladimir Horowitz!!
