Awesome! Looks at his fingers how the easily touch the keys, like a caress. That's what makes a great artists--making something hard look easy. My hat's off to the three of them.

Great!!

I'd never seen videos of Peterson playing with Kessel. They had been together in the 50's. This was evidently recorded after Herb Ellis had become a studio musician and Peterson had just met Niels Pedersen after recording "Great Connection" with him.

Superb, simply superb...

@1954tele ; (continued) I now realize that he so wanted to share & impart his knowledge of both Jazz & Guitar to his son. My Dad passed away in 1983. I'd like to think he's up there now, in good company, doing what he loved most-....(If so) Dad, I'll never have your talent but it won"t be for lack of passion. Love you...

@Oreon207 ; Well said. My father was a Jazz guitarist & spent the majority of his life in the pursuit of Jazz. He took me to see his mentor, Joe Pass who was touring with Oscar at the time. First time I had been to Blues Alley in Georgetown. Watching them play, being in such close proximity to them.....After all these years, I have yet to find words, written or spoken to communicate their effect on me. Prior to this I had not shown interest in jazz & although he never mentioned it (continued)-
