Amazing fast piano solo (by Oscar Peterson)
Loading...
Uploaded by perchst on Apr 30, 2007
This video used to be called "the greatest piano solo ever" based upon a spontaneous bust of joy from me, 4 years ago. Today I´m kind of fed up with it (from over-listening), so this is why the title has changed.
It´s NOT because of all the people who have tried to convince me to change the title.
Music is ALWAYS subjective, and what resonates with one, dosen't always with another. Please remember that. Your opinion isn´t necessarily the same as mine :-)
The 2 bass players are Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and Ray Brown.
The link for viewing the full performance is below.
Enjoy!

Many people would think this is fast but hasn't any meaning or musical context. Well, no shit. It's because they can't listen to a particular genre of music that they make such ignorant comments. Often, one who knows how to listen a particular genre of music will not rant like that at great artists of that genre.
If you REALLY think it sucks, after listening to MUCH jazz music, then I can respect your opinion. If not, shut the fuck up and like a Lady Gaga video.

Incredible...

the scary thing is that he meant to play every single note that was played

So fast he actually found it funny! Great playing. Thanks for uploading, I'd never heard of him. Despite being a pianist. -_- Shame on me.

@wildsnydon - as far as I know, NHOP was there performing with Oscar, and Ray Brown was there accompanying at least one other artist (possibly Monty Alexander). Given that Ray was Oscar's former bassist and his close friend, they decided to all play together. It's all completely spontaneous and un-arranged

@wildsnydon Having played classic trio jazz with each of the 2 gentleman (NHØP & Ray Brown) since the 50´s, I guess that Oscar at this point in his carrier wanted to experiment with the trio-form. Click the link below the screen to see how it works out, or search for the very beautiful song "You look good to me" from the same show. Cheers

@perchst - he didn't play with NHOP in the 50's, only Ray. Oscar's tenure with NHOP began in earnest in 1973

@sargea1
I know :-)
I meant to say first with Ray and then later with Niels Henning :-)
