Oscar Peterson Trio - The Berlin Concert - Who Can I Turn To

[@paulienebz]

At Rick's Cafe in Chicago, Oscar appeared with his trio- of course he flew his own piano in for the engagement. Between sets my 75-year old Mother sat down at Oscar's piano to knock out her version of Fur Elise. I was mortified - Oscar came over and put a massive hand on each of my Mom's shoulders until she was finished. He led the applause, and then told me Mom, "That was lovely, but now I have to get back to work." My Mom got a kiss and Oscar played "Dancing in The Dark" for her upon request - her favorite tune. What class that man had!

That is such an amazing episode of a great man.

[@memyself7413]

What a lovely, lovely story. I've never had the pleasure of meeting him in person, but from my observations of him when I attended a couple of concerts he did in London, I am not at all surprised to read about his reaction to your mum's playing. She must have been in her glory and all can add is "Well done, mum!"

[@DavidWilliams-sp8gv]

I heard OP told a story about being at a club where Art Tatum was playing and OP was up next. After Tatum ripped the snots out of the ivories, he got up and looked at OP and said "OK you can have what's left."

The stories some people make up just to get attention 🤪

He gave at clinic at Blackhawk club in San Francisco, 1963. About ten players showed up at $7.50 a head. The trio showed us more about swing in an hour and half than four years at Juliard could ever do. The master.

[@vizmaurogiovanni]

One of the greatest trios of Jazz history.

[@donaldscherzi169]

How can this level of genius even be possible? Just so incredible and inspiring.

[@johnfenner347]

There are no words to describe this amazing performance !. The worlds best at their craft. Absolutely Marvellous !. And a super recording too. I’m speechless !.

[@ChannelMaster720]

I love when Oscar "sings" along with his own music. Of course, he is with his bass player Mr. Pedersen and Martin Drew on drums. They are all so Jazzy together. Love this "up beat jazz". Miss Oscar so much! . . .SYLVIA! -FL 7/24/2020

Genius! One of the most truly gifted jazz pianists to ever live! I never missed an opportunity to hear him live in concert, and got his autograph twice; the second time (1973), I walked back stage in the middle of a super stars of jazz concert to find him, and he signed his full page bio in the program.

Wow 🤩 lucky man!!

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

I went grave robbing...now I've got his hands in a jar of formaldehyde on my mantlepiece...and all you got was a signature.

[@johnbrown9092]

Love the way Neils nods to Martin to use the sticks. Magic.

[@johnbrown9092]

Pure genius all three of them.

[@gregnunn4196]

A piano virtuoso like none other...

"Like none other" You haven't listened to much.

[@yvesroyer6964]

Un très très grand monsieur du Jazz ! Quelle élégance !

[@bozotheclown935]

Met Oscar in 77 in Brisbane Australia at the conservatorium hall when it was at Gardens Point. Oscar hardly in the mood for our radio interview but that's how it goes. He came only with Pass. I never understood why he chose Pedersen as a bassist but Oscar was the great man and I was not so he could pick who he wanted but, I always contrast this guy to Ray Brown and there is just no comparison Brown being the inventive line/timing genius. I will stop.... Oscar will be still be played somewhere for the next 1000 years.

Bravery and freedom have always been inherent elements of jazz that differentiate it from other genres of music. 🕊️ Sonny Rollins

[@julieweldon4343]

Beautiful to watch talent in their element!

Beautiful to watch their talent in any element.

[@rsjmd]

Used to see him at the London House Chicago. In those days with Thigpen and Brown. The stage was only a few steps from the bar where we could sit or stand or a 2 hour set for the price of a draft, about 2 bucks.I can't say either of the two trios was better or not they were all the best.Peterson IMM was as good as any of the great classical artists I have been privileged to see.

[@Shooters141]

Sweet! I saw him in auditoriums on a couple of occasions doing solo stuff. Not the same as his ensemble stuff by a long shot. Good for you bud.

[@Reuben_95]

Back then everything was in black and white too!! 😂😂 in all serious to see the original trio in live action must have amazing!!

[@billgodman8319]

Exemplary gigs there in the 70's. The absolute master!

[@enzozara2296]

Sembra letteralmente volare sulla tastira... Grandioso!

[@oto274]

ABSOLUT

[@Tramseskumbanan]

Takes one's breath away.

[@nataliiafedorchenko8061]

If say that he is genius it is just say nothing compare to something who he really is👏👏👏

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

That's what his autobiography is for. This is KZbin, where pseudo-intellectuals leave inane comments and overuse the word genius.

[@marianpetrescu6990]

Tee Best no mistake In anyting perfekt god bless him

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

There is no "the best" and the is no "god".

[@austinhinchey2325]

[@msbarcodorogreenline4069]

Oscar one of the greatest!

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

That's more like it. A factual comment, no exaggerating, no bandying around the word genius, no attempts to sound deep or intellectual. Thank you.

[@emmetray9703]

Non human's fingers.. World class ..

[@Usefulmusic]

How does he do that? How does he do that? How does he do that? How does he do that? How? How? How? How? It's impossible. I must be hallucinating.

[@blackflowerdubb]

I bet he was in the most advanced "flow-state" ever, while playing.

[@anthonyoland295]

Unquestionably the greatest ever!

[@scowell]

For me, Oscar is just a little past his best prime... but NHOP is on fire!

[@Reuben_95]

I feel like he started to get slightly complacent at times. Still incredible tho! 🥰

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

"His best prime", as opposed to one of his other primes, you pompous, illiterate little prick. Meanwhile, if you did have one, nobody noticed it.

[@AnUndisclosedLocation]

@@Reuben_95 You confuse complacency with "that bunch of pompous privileged little white pricks just ain't worth my effort and them fools gonna pay anyway."
