Oscar Peterson - Nighttime

[@saervaer]

Oscar Peterson the greatest pianist ever. I listen to him over & over again.

[@joshuagahan6985]

Best.bass.solo.ever.

[@frankbernotimm3031]

NHOP and Oscar Peterson - speechless

[@ChristopherShenfield]

And basically playing one-handed. Amazing...

[@rnaldfshr]

I met Mr Peterson in his dressing room in 1958 after a show in Bournemouth England. I shall never forget his kindness,a class act giving many years of pleasure.

I dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

Gods came down to Earth and then this happened. This music is beyond incredible.

[@phyllispetras3369]

The guitar is played by Lorne Lofsky.

[@fredwagner499]

That key change at 2:27 gets you high instantly. After taking you around in a typical swingy blues trip the landing is so sweet, back to the theme you'd forgotten. Master.

[@phyllispetras2181]

I have spent many years telling about these musicians!!!!PLEASE support jazz in the schools! Love Granny

[@timreid5443]

I remember that he had a stroke that permanently weakened his left hand,if you look at his left hand in this performance,you will see that the motor function is a lot weaker and slower than the right hand,and he is using his right hand to compensate,to really brilliant effect.Even listening to this you would never know,that his left hand was weak unless pointed out,sheer genius! At the time he never thought he would play again.

[@jimhendricks88]

I saw Ray Brown playing with a different trio in 1993, and he was talking with people in the lobby during a set break. He mentioned to those around in conversation that Oscar had recently had a stroke; I think he said it may have happened while they were on performance.

[@mariajoaoaltavilla6187]

And even so he still is the best.

[@mightyginza3182]

Greatest ever...🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@zygomatrix]

Without a hand he's still the best.

[@mariajoaoaltavilla6187]

Absolutely true

[@musicsdarkangel]

No one plays like him. No one. Even take his unreal speed away.... His touch and class is in the realm only with the likes of Evans, Hank Jones, Tatum, Nat and Red Garland.

[@phyllispetras2181]

So peaceful and then FLAT OUT FUNK!!!!

[@malakh66]

Eargasm, eyegasm, fingergasm, soulgasm! Bliss on Earth.

[@rodneyalexander5006]

I'll never be able to do half of what he's capable of after a stroke with both hands and feet. A master indeed. May he RIP.

[@phyllispetras2181]

right hand and left thumb !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was reading the comments thinking that maybe I'll get a bass one...eishhhh NHOP🙌🙌

[@tamazpatarkalashvili2811]

Great, as everything that He plays

[@RafaelPetrossianjazz]

This was after his stroke, but still great!

[@joejohnson2814]

I love this part 1:43

[@francoisjouachim1064]

J'écoute cette pièce depuis plus de 20ans, je l'avais enregistré en VHS ya bien longtemps, merci à KZbin et @ilproiettore ;-) Quasi invalide de sa main gauche à l'époque, Oscar offre à travers cette interprétation pourtant un moment de perfection musicale, un terrain d'apprentissage intarissable pour les jeunes jazzmen du piano ! PS : A 8:17 il place une descente géniale !!

[@r_lem]

Great Performance by all of the musicians. Please Post their names when you post a video. Oscar Peterson always introduced the musicians He performed with. Thanks.

[@hmengland4161]

How international! Two Canadians (Peterson and guitarist Lorne Lofsky), a Dane (bassist Niels Pedersen) and an Englishman (drummer Martin Drew).

[@pascalvigroux837]

Thanks. I've never seen him playing with Oscar before. Nice play.

Anthunem: The guitarist is Lorne Lofsky, a Canadian who played with OP a few times during OP's last years.

[@lebonheur8056]

You guys are just pure happy and joy for all!! Gracious!! Thank you so much for greatness...!!

[@flylooper]

Even with pretty much a dead left hand, Oscar was a phenomenal musician. I believe he was technically/pianistically one of the two greatest of them all, the other being Peterson's own hero, Art Tatum. Can anyone name the chord he uses between the I and the IV chord progression? Even his own originals were wonderful.

[@cosmodog1803]

Bob Burns , Mr. Peterson has the best left hand ever to play piano, he was however; deferential to his bass player. If you listen to any of Mr. Peterson's solo performances, you will have problems keeping up with what both hands are doing.

[@wilsargisson3626]

cosmodog1803 Tatum had a superior left hand.

[@slapmyfunkybass]

So many choices, but using C, could have been C, Bb7sus, F

[@oscarlfem]

Beautiful. I’m guessing Joe Pass had passed (pun not intended) at this point.

[@PedroSilvaMusic]

Who wants to take a solo after Oscar Peterson? Anyone????

[@BernieHollandMusic]

Yeah - Bill Evans !

[@walterhayley7252]

Best known for his voice, Nat King Cole was no slouch either...

[@williambunter3311]

A brilliant musician. Re the comments below, let's not forget the other great genius, Errol Garner.

[@GrandMaster-Broda]

that song that he plays on the intro reminds me of something, anyone know what song it is?

[@liesschot233]

Can it be Bach's "Das wohltemperierte klavier"?

[@juliuscaesar7906]

And "White Christmas" (00:43).

[@david8694]

Does anyone know when/what performance this was? Can't seem to find this specific recording of this song anywhere else.

[@NoobieSnake]

This is actually from Munich Piano Summer 1994. I only found related information in the below two links, but video/recording wise, almost can’t find anything. We can only enjoy whatever little amount there is that’s posted on KZbin, unfortunately. (Or fortunately there’s still the few videos we can enjoy!) www.loc.gov/item/jots.200027880/ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Münchner_Klaviersommer

[@geoffreyliss6817]

I don't understand how you could listen to Evans, Corea and, last but not least Keith Jarrett then even compare them to Tatum or Peterson. The technical ability of the aforementioned alone separates them from Peterson in particular. Complex chords versus playing scales. I have to put Bill Evans and Keith Jarrett at the top of the list (a tie). IMHO

[@tamazpatarkalashvili2811]

I think that you are mistaken. Tatum and Peterson are the greatest pianists in jazz history and those you wrote about simply good ones

[@alainlebrere2202]

You’re mixing technique and music! oscar uses his technique to serve the music Ken jarret does only technique, he is not a musician ah no !

[@docDiogenes]

Go back to your crayons, you can't appreciate truly great artists. Tatum and Peterson - 1 and 2 greatest. Period.

[@BernieHollandMusic]

@@docDiogenes Rubbish - go and trade-in your cloth ears for a pair that work - then go back and listen to Bill Evans - then wake up ! Period !

[@r_lem]

Why "best?" why not different, interesting, individual. Jazz needs all of these great musicians past and present. Technique is in the Service of Music: different Music different Technique.

[@papy13770]

The guitar is played by Lorne Lofsky.
