Oscar Peterson Solo Marathon - Live 1985 Berlin

[@davidbela]

Here's the beef. No filler, no artificial ingredients. Make no mistake, every jazz pianist that ever walked the face of the earth wishes they could play like this. I met him when I was 12 and he made the Maitre' D allow me into the club which had an age restricition. A true gentleman. And a true genius.

[@pimeijgenstein8169]

Wonderful in one Word ! Pim Eijgenstein from Holland 2021

[@vichenry171]

Sometimes I get frustrated when I don't hear the ending

[@billtomson5791]

CAUTION' Use only as directed by your music teacher. Intentional misuse of Oscar Peterson solos while smoking dope can result in loss of consciousness or death.

[@ChannelMaster720]

Look how happy Oscar is playing his piano! He truly is having fun and loves entertaining people! His smile is so heartwarming. I love this man! His fingers just fly across those keys. SYLVIA - FL -06/12/2018

[@adrianbartholomew3785]

He's happy cuz he's playing a Bosendorfer

[@stephanedubarry8624]

Hé enjoyed as well playing à Bechstein or a Steinway or even a less prestigious piano brand. He cared more about side musicians, public, monde etc

[@darzil007]

Martin Drew , what a touch and taste , a force that must be recognised, Rest in peace , passed away 2010 . 66 years old too soon to go😪

[@mrswimmyboy]

Horrible editing on this video. Why chop it up like this? At 1:14 Nils Pedersen is about to take a solo and its deleted. This is the opposite of jazz music values of expression. Oscar Peterson would have hated it. Anyway, here are the tunes they are playing on the original concert: Salute To Bach Who Can I Turn To Blues Etude Yours Is My Heart Alone Falling In Love With La Belle Province Nigerian Marketplace Cakewalk Skylark - My Foolish Heart Perdido Caravan

[@michaelkeating5032]

Thank you!!!!!

[@Matcha-TK]

I like moment of "the drummer changes brush to stick". Best performance Martin Drew.

[@MrRichie680]

NHOP the very best double bass jazz player 👍👍👍

[@radiobutch2]

He is unbelievable . . . by far the best of all time . . . . a superman . . . i am speechless again

[@phyllisjohnson6442]

Yep!!😍

[@daangaillard]

Together they are the three kings forever !!

[@iztokmislej8569]

Agree!

[@timothyreid5753]

I have been listening to Oscar Peterson since the age of 10,and since then I have never looked back,all those years ago when I first listened to him at 10,I was awestruck,and at the age of 55 it still has the supernatural magic.The real difference in his playing compared to others is that it has a superior finesse and perfection,every note and phrase is played with care,I would describe him as an analogue player,analogue means everything captured to perfection,a true genius.

[@phyllisjohnson6442]

I agree!!

[@partisansretour]

I love Niels Henning Orsted Pedersen's face during Oscar's solos. He's like : "Omg I'm witnessing magic" One of my favorite : 26:55

[@juancarlosperezsandoval5706]

YES ,TERRIBLE DOUBLE BASS ...THE BEST

[@allengrigg7553]

In music, some say less is more. Regarding Oscar, more is more. Genius. Was fortunate to see him perform at the Claremont Hotel, S.F around 1983. Unforgetable

[@pqiojsqdklnads3861]

well put lol

[@phyllisjohnson6442]

More is More and More and More!!!!

[@catdisaporiti1793]

È troppo grande! Bravissimi anche i due musicisti che lo accompagnano.

[@Drumminman4U]

Did any jazz trio in history ever swing harder than these guys? Peterson always delivered. I had the great pleasure of seeing him play live, just a few feet away from the piano at a college concert once. What an experience that was! He was first class all the way. That night he basically gave the audience the history of jazz piano; he played ragtime, swing, be-bop...even a little Chopin!

[@DavidRamos-nz4bh]

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? This is the shit.. can’t get better.

[@briankatejohnstone1884]

Apart from Oscar's magic NHØP is the greatest bass player ever!

[@MaliVinnyB]

UH HUH........RIGHT..."Opinions are like"...... "GOAT"??? Live LONG Enough.......

[@judyglasel533]

Brian Kate Johnstone. Totally agree ! I love NHOP.

[@judyglasel533]

Brian Kate Johnstone. Pedersen knows when Not to play, and Oscar appreciated him for that as well as other things.

[@carloalbertorassaval3275]

@Rashan Sankofa : many others very good bass players (I love Ray Brown). Not better. No human being can do what he did .

[@fninguitar]

@Rashan Sankofa “many”?? how much? 100? 200? are you sure you're talking about bass?

[@adriankorsner]

They are all brilliant but I just love the way in which Drew gets into the grove and relentlessly stays there. As a Brit, I have always been so proud to have a world class drummer like Martin as one of us. Martin just loved playing with Oscar.

[@phyllisjohnson6442]

We weren't able to add your reply. Please try again

[@jamescareless159]

"gets into the grove and relentlessly stays there" --- you nailed it.

[@celiaporter]

I am stunned that a human being can do this. Three cheers for the wonders of evolution!

[@peterkoetsveldclarinet]

Evolution?? They didn't have pianos in the early days..

[@celiaporter]

@@peterkoetsveldclarinet Not true. During an archaeological dig at Olduvai Gorge, Mary Leakey once discovered a Hammond B3.

[@marctrainor5595]

It puts me in such a trance, it's hard for me to believe human beings can play like them, especially Oscar, but holy mackerel, what, players. This knocks me so far out of my seat, I can't even find my seat anymore. Thank God for Oscar Peterson. Marc Trainor.

[@FoxieGrandma]

Thanks for posting this.....totally amazing!!!

[@alandynin6023]

There are lots of jazz pianists, like Gene Harris, who swing really hard, and are fun to listen to. This, though, is a transcendental level of swing !

[@michaeliacangelo7681]

Gene Harris did the best version of "Summertime" I've ever heard: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKqxfWeKbK91psk But Oscar's playing is in the musical stratosphere. May they all rest in peace in musical heaven!

[@nicolasvazquez2580]

Someone knows which is the name of the song that start at 18:14?

[@nicolasvazquez2580]

nigerian marketplace

[@amtrakatsfnyc]

Oscar is backed by Niels Pederson on bass and Martin Drew on drums. This trio certainly equals any other trio that has played such creative jazz music .

[@louisdevries1790]

The communication among these three is fantastic. Watch the eye contact!

[@capitan280]

to listen, to see, to understand the magic of this music; unforgetable

[@789armstrong]

Awesome! Oscar is electrifying and in top form.

[@Cheapers-Vac]

He gives the happiest BEST breakfast performances EVER! WooHoo ! We are Blessed !!!!😊😊 January 19th, 2020...still love this awesome Man and his Men ! Awesome trio !

[@joseaugustosilva8807]

[@splotbang8296]

The DVD is one of the best if not the best example of what these three gentlemen were capable of. Well recorded, well filmed and the three of them were in top form. O.P. blew everyone away that night, including his sidekicks.

[@kennethhodges3187]

Another recommended DVD is the Stuttgart concert with Dave Taylor on bass and Martin Drew on drums. This is a club date which makes it a bit more personal - Rec 1988

[@MrViglioni]

FANTÁSTICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@spemtube]

is the best

[@fripenou4281]

siri, define jazz OSCAR PETERSON, NIELS PEDERSON, MARTIN DREW

[@kennethhodges3187]

Quite apart from having a formidable technique these guys offer a brilliant example of an ingredient that is all too often missing in today's jazz! The word is joy! The reason that this is so important is that if the musicians themselves don't feel it when they play ,they won't be able to pass it on and communicate successfully with their audience!

[@georgeczuba349]

First saw O.P. at McGill University in 1956 then at Place des Arts in Montreal in late 70's with Ella Fitzgerald. Consider him to have been and stil recognized as heads and shoulders above any other jazz pianist. What magical performance with Niels also the greatest on bass. Also was and am a great fan of Erroll Garner, another genius.

[@rsjmd]

I was lucky to see Oscar at London House in Chicago where we were seated just a few feet dead center in front of the stage. He is my all time favorite jazz pianist, Garner second as you say. I just can't love Evans and others, decent and good as they were. Saw Garner in montreal, unfortunately sitting quite away from the bandstand as I recall. Loved it.

[@algonquin1832]

Evans plays a modern classical style that is lumped into the jazz category. George Shearing, Andre Previn and others like them played modern. Jazz is personified by Oscar Peterson, Charlie Parker.

[@musicanderssongs1455]

Absolutely outstanding!

[@antonigmyrek8375]

Absolutely amazing playing!

[@simonlawrie9215]

Why isn’t this a national anthem ? . Ten times better than glory , victory and HE is on our side . This would anybody stand up and be proud of just how we (as humans ) we should be . Praise HE for the beauty of music . "". .

[@fninguitar]

You've cut all other solos. I disagree. Unfortuately all other videos of this show have poor and low sound, but this here. But it's cut. It's a shame

[@dannys9535]

Genious and eternal artists, nevertheless we shouldn't forget Ray Brown, Erolle Garner and some other geniouses

[@pjohnson9576]

Danny S agree liked them all, but Oscar Peterson was the top of the tree, I think the greatest jazz pianist ever, RIP Oscar sadly missed but your music lives on

[@pjohnson9576]

Danny S the likes of James p Johnson influenced Fats Waller who influenced Art Tatum who led to the late great Oscar Peterson

[@Rossini1955]

This was spliced together.....now I the trouble to look for the real concert......Ha!

[@kaviavari7827]

Not exactly a solo but a marathon non-stop single session, magnificently played with a lot of ad-libing by the maestro for one hell of a long time. Remarkable endurance and effort. An amazing, even more than usual, live performance by the trio. Couldn't take my eyes of the screen. Mesmerising performance!!

[@petershaw80]

Wow. Just Wow. Genius.

[@88pynogrl]

TIGHT!!!!!

[@bozotheclown935]

Never for the life of me understood why Oscar picked this guy as his bassist. The difference between him and Ray Brown was the width of an ocean. But then again I never worked with Oscar so there you have it.

[@directionetcee1983]

Un petit stabylo de boss made in wiki : " ...À neuf ans sa technique impressionne les musiciens professionnels. Il travaille six heures par jour, toute sa vie. Vers la fin de sa vie il diminuera la quantité de travail à une ou deux heures par jour..." ; "En 1993, Oscar Peterson est victime d’une grave attaque qui affaiblit son bras et sa main gauche et qui le rend inactif pendant deux ans. Il se produit pourtant en été 1994 à Jazz in Marciac en France. Il surmonte cette infirmité et poursuit ses tournées, continuant à enregistrer et à composer...".
