Imagine that for decades, before the creation of youtube, this footage was "lost", and was only in the memory of the people who watched it live that day in 1980. Our generation take youtube for granted sometimes. This plataform is one of the most important creation in human history.

Me too, I heartily thank UTube for these precious sharing. I just adore Oscar Peterson who was my compatriote, (both Canadians) what a great musician he was and he was a real gentleman as well. And I enjoy so much this beautiful piece of music. What a good time I have.

I think this observation can be extended to people of genius in other areas as well. Barring some outliers with huge egos, majority of them seem extraordinarily humble, especially in light of the greatness of their achievements. Perhaps it's this journey to the frontier of human ability that makes them profoundly realize how hard it is to conquer oneself (a necessary precondition for greatness, I guess). More often than not also, they're tremendously eloquent, even outside their areas of expertise.

This is absolutely priceless. The conversation between Oscar and the normally reticent Count Basie alone is a major document in the history of American music--unappreciated by those who don't know jazz history and its true masters. Note how Oscar, the major prankster and intimidator (he loved to tell how he got the better of other pianists, from Shearing to Brubeck) admits that he learned about intimidation by the gold standard of jazz piano, Art Tatum--the ultimate "musician's musician," the challenge that any true musician must work to understand. When Miles asked Hank Mobley to replace the departing Coltrane, Hank responded: 'Miles, Trane was the Art Tatum of the tenor saxophone. I can't follow that!" When a Down Beat critic asked Sonny Stitt why he copied Bird instead of creating a new musical direction, Sonny exploded: "You don't know sh..t, man! Look at Art Tatum. You can't play no better than that!" The public understands Oscar's music much more than Art's. And the same goes for Basie vs. the frequently challenging, sophisticated and subtle Ellington. But when asked, the Count and Joe Williams would speak of Duke as the quintessential American musician, a figure best approached in theological terms. There are so few jazz programs left, and most ignore the incomparable Duke Ellington band--settling instead on playing the pop standards he wrote to support his band. (Please. No more Satin Doll's and Don't Round Much Anymore. Give us the Ellington sax section, rich colors and ironic humor.)

I just read up on the history of the first tune, "Charlie." Oscar's first wife was Charlotte Huber, with whom he had one son, named Joel, and the song is dedicated to her. In the book "Oscar Peterson: The Man and His Jazz," it says that he composed a few tunes to sum up his relationship with Charlie and his son Joel, beginning with this one, which captures the beauty of his former love, then "Night Child," which is dedicated to Joel, and then "He Has Gone," which encapsulates his emotions surrounding his divorce and separation from his son.

Wonderful to hear the stories about Art Tatum. Imagine... To think this immense level of greatness was once America's popular music. So vastly advanced & complex yet so swingin & intimate. Notice the twinkle in Count Basie's eye. Musicians don't have that twinkle, that love, that humor nowadays. It's all only about manufactured ego & celebrity, shallow. This tradition & level of musicality & experience that these two embodied & represented is extinct. It was no doubt the greatest of all musical genres, so much more live & complex than any scored 19th c. transcription, so vastly beyond what today's popular musicians do. They were absolute kings.

From one Jazz lover to another, the older music is amazing, but modern music shouldn't be discredited either.

Robert Dicks Thanks for telling me about Buck Clayton. Just listened to a KZbin video of this great trumpet player and ensemble. The music coming out of North America in the '50s-'70s is BEAUTIFUL. Especially the Jazz although I also really enjoyed the soul music by folk like Otis Redding and James Brown and the Motown acts. Music really can "soothe the savage beast". Shalom. Btw, here's a KZbin you might have missed which I thoroughly enjoyed: Ray Charles & Oscar Peterson Play A Blues Duet - Very Rare. This performance was done in Canada.

2dasimmons I love Jazz, but my taste in music is pretty eclectic I find something to like in all types of music, excluding Hip Hop and Rap and one I can't recall, came right after the R &R era. My Jazz is pretty much limited to that of the "Cool School". You would probably like Jimmy Rushing, he of the big lungs. I have 230 90/100 minute tapes and most of it is Jazz and Big Bands. Shalom

What a great exchange between giants of Jazz, so much has been lost and never replaced with their passing.

The groundbreaking bass player, Niels Ørsted Henning Pedersen, or NHØP, changed the way jazz bass was played forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Disappointing that so many people pollute the comments with their inability to pay tribute to great musicians without making vacuous comparisons and disrespecting other great musicians.

I was privileged enough to see Oscar Peterson and Ella Fitzgerald at the Valley Forge Music Fair back in the early '70s. Are true treat of virtuoso genius.

298 tin-eared people who dislike this - must be fans of the world of 'pop', where consumer noise passes for music !

Dislikes are from people who can't tell 4/4 from a drumstick.

yeah right? cause how can you dislike this video?

The dislikes come from Jimi Hendrix fans crying their eyes out 'cos their man couldn't hold a candle to Joe Pass. Amazingly, Hendrix was voted the world's greatest guitarist in some poll or other on Rolling Stone - You couldn't make it up !

I admire Jemi Hendrix.. He was a genius in his own world (genere).tho He was not a jazz musician. The dislikes in this video are most likely from Justin Beiber fans. Including myself, I don't know any rock and roll fan who doesn't have a taste for jazz.

I love Jimi Hendrix to bits and have a massive collection. However I love jazz to bits as well and have a massive collection. It is so wrong to compare Jimi Hendrix with Joe Pass, they are completely different techniques and genres. Joe admired Jimi and Jimi admired Joe. It has nothing to do with holding a candle to anyone. Jimi couldn't play what Joe plays and Joe would be the first to admit he couldn't play Machine Gun from the Band of Gypsys or Hear my Train coming from Berkeley or All along the watchtower and many other guitar masterpieces. Jimi loved jazz and we have to remember he was only 27 when he died. Had he lived to Joe's age he would have gone on to extraordinary things that we can only imagine. Jimi has been voted the greatest guitarist in the world mainly in the rock and blues genres but also his imagination and unorthodox technique has just about influenced every guitarist including jazz guitarists. Jimi and joe are both geniuses on their instruments. My favourite jazz guitarists are: Django Reinhardt and Wes Montgomery who also were unschooled and couldn't read music but produced extraordinary music like Jimi. The dislikes above come from pop fans and such as rock and blues guitarists admire jazz players. I hope that has cleared that up. I wish people wouldn't keep comparing everybody with somebody else. it is either good music or bad.

Joe Pass could probably have played what Hendrix did standing on his head as he had a technique that few rock musicians could ever aspire to.
