Dick Cavett had a very clear-eyed understanding of what it meant to be a musician. He didn’t worship the greats, he did much better by respecting them as human beings. I can’t think of a better example than how he spoke with Jimi Hendrix, a difficult interviewee. Cavett understood his dreamy wonder about music was actually real, and Jimi’s visit showed that. Few interviewers are willing to accept a new language when they are busy burnishing their own image. I never saw Cavett behave that way. Giant respect for the man.

You missed 3:44 "Art Tatum as we both know was is and still is in my view the best jazz pianist around." Oscar Peterson is more relaxed and has a better blues feel, but Art Tatum is a level above both in technique and brilliant harmonic invention.

Coltrain said ''There must be love on the bandstand''. There was a whole lotta love here, and it really moved me. Made me sad, too, because I'm old enough to remember when this level of discourse (well, maybe not, THIS, level!) was standard, and it is utterly gone today from the mainstream.

"Was he black or white?" And they just talk about it so naturally. No offense here, no agressivity, just two men talking about music. Ask yhay question today and your career is done!😂 That's a great show! Such a high quality content where tv doesn't believe that the audience is dumb. Oscar Peterson was a real talented man! Everything was mysic with him. We think thay his virtuosity was his goal but his goal was expression and freedom, and from that virtuosity was coming. A lot of musician copying him only gets the playing fast and loud. Same when he talks about Art tatum, he is talking about him in a musical way. Not the speed or the virtuosity. Oscar was a true musician! Respect man!

I don't hear it as simple, rather Oscar's playing is relaxed. That's why his playing is sometimes put down as "cocktail piano" (as Dick Cavett says at the end). Art Tatum is harder on the listener.
