4 guys enjoying the ultimate pleasure. Making music. Superb.

The only thing stopping Michael Becker from having perfect time is his watch. That watch would be a few seconds slow after a month. Not Brecker lol

D- Ab7 D- !

This jazz is my favorite song

Two legendary pianists talking about probably the greatest of all time pianist Art Tatum.

C’était l’Indicatif d’ Europe n•1 dans Les année 1975 / 76 / 77 pour leur émission Music Jazz

Brecker gets my vote here, in the "Battle Of The Saxes"! LOL!

Are Holland and McBride playing at the same time here?

Oscar Peterson was always talking about the great jazz pianists, it's a pity he didn't try harder to play like them.

Thank you so much for this !!!!!!! I love it !!!!!!! is there more ?

We are blessed to have those three and their stories.

Which do you liked the most playing?. Thanks

What a gift!!!!

Beautiful. The respect these artists have for each other is so evident here. They are both mature enough to let the music flow and not try to drown each other out, but complement one another. Bravo!

6:48 eight bars of Tatum

As legendary as these men were in public at the piano, what came out at those "after hours clubs" must've been the backroom of the gods!

Wow, great viewing! I just read on Oscar's Wikipedia page how, after his father played him Art's "Tiger Rag", he quit playing for days. "Tatum scared me to death," said Peterson, adding that he was "never cocky again" about his ability at the piano. ... Peterson was always shy about being compared to Tatum and rarely played the piano in Tatum's presence.

The image of Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey, Buddy Rich, and Art Tatum all being in the same room…

I discovered Basie when I was 12. Changed my life. He died a few months after. I was so pissed.

Oscar Peterson is very intelligent, articulate and is just a genius

Wit really is the soul of genius.

When I was a little kid I saw Count Basie live in Toronto and met him after the show and talked to him for a bit and got his autograph, I still have it. Oscar Peterson lived a few houses away from me at that time in Canada but I never met him.

Yeah that's the rarified air alright. Art Tatum is like Buddy Rich. You can't play like him, so don't delude yourself. Les Paul said he was going to play piano until he heard Tatum. Also, he didn't look like his fingers were moving. So obviously he's a martian or something.

Back when facts were facts, truth mattered, and the BBC was the BBC. Lost and never to be repeated.

What a delightful conversation; two witty, wonderful artists enjoying each other's company. How lucky we are to eavesdrop on this.

Art Tatum was the man who's virtuosity on the piano caused Les Paul to switch instruments: from the piano to the guitar. 😮

Jack Dejohnette RIP, you had to work really hard!! great brass and percussion concert

Fats Waller told the audience When Art Tatum walked into to the place " Ladies and Gentleman, God has just walked into the Room ! "

Listen to him on Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland. Cd is probably still available.

I'm sorry but there are a lot of errors in this transcription. You need to go back and proof read your work before posting to KZbin! There are lots of transcriptions out there with minor issues, but in this, you have the entirely wrong scale for several of the runs. This is misleading for players who want to use this to learn. Please consider taking this down and redoing it.

Redman one year before I played an entire gig with him.. endless stream of musical ideas, and always learning from him

The fact that they got the cadence of the one lyric in the song wrong is unforgivable.

I could sit and listen to those guys all night and through the week. That's as good as it gets when it comes to musicianship

10/10 times, I would pick Oscar

Coltrane is in all of them! ❤

Priceless!

Michael breker melhor saxofonista famtastico

Anyone got the link to the full interview these days?

Thank God for this documentation!!! Awesome group of talent!! I absolutely loved the progression and layering towatds the end. BRAVO!!!

"Intimidation? That's what you've been doing to me all day!" 😂 Count Basie's humour really makes this great interview, many thanks for posting.

That's fantastic Great memory

Bob Mintzer's playing is always devoid of any bullshit. All intention.

Jackets are awesome ❤

Liebman sounding like a slimy salamander 😂

what a treat this is thank you

What really makes these artists great is not only their great creative and interpretive quality, but also their great personality that they transmit.

Plus la tricolour

I watch the old Oscar Peterson interviews every 6-12 months and enjoy them just as much every time!

Young people: these are real men of accomplishment. Masters at what they did. Humble and dignified.

Redman still had a bullet left, ... awesum
