Absolutely the most moving jazz piece I've seen. The music is great, and Jones's piano is marvellous. But there is so much drama. Jones doing the heavy lifting but obviously watching out for his friend Oscar, who composed the music. And Oscar trying so hard to play the he wants to, and used to. And hats off the the videographer who put together the show we've just watched. And, I must admit, like others already have, there was a tear.
To me this was not a duet, it was beyond that. It was almost as if it was one person - one mind. This was true beauty. I correct myself this IS beauty. I dont believe have a religion but this makes me feel like I have a soul. I will never forget this...
Can't remember ever crying to a piano piece but I did now. Love their adoration they have for each other. If I died today I would be glad this was the last piece of music I heard.
Hymn to Freedom is the most touching and exquisite masterpiece played by Oscar Peterson and Oliver Jones Obviously, it originated through the heavenly realm. A real expander of the soul, so essential in improving the human condition. I can see that the very being and essence of Oscar's soul lives on proving he is more alive than ever. Even though Oliver has retired, I do hope and trust that his skilled artistry in music will always continue. Many thanks to both of you.

@Clyde Brennan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Play me "Hymn To Freedom" any time and I'd appreciate it. When Oscar Peterson and Oliver Jones collaborate on this beautiful tune - it becomes pure magic. I'm wrapped in awe as I listen to the celestial piano playing by the two great pianists. Lovely piano playing by these jazz musical giants. Theo Kgapola {Benoni}
@@florairvan8305 Thanks for your kind words Flora. Aren't Oscar Peterson and Oliver Jones just "something else" as collaborators musically? They are both in a calm and unassuming state as they enjoy the music playing. Oh yeah, music is a great universal language. Let's continue to enjoy this artform.
Although Oscar seems to be struggling a little on this one due to severe arthritis, the rendering a superb. One of the last time we can see Oscar at piano. Look at his face, the very epitome of humility and dedication.
I saw Oliver Jones Trio at a university gig in '88. Absolutely stunning performance. After the show, he came to the back and said hello to the small audience and was just like you see him here, smiling and gracious.
I am so sorry but I’ve just discovered Oscar Peterson and this song and I’m angry at myself. You created so much genius and greatness in one man and for that Lord, I sincerely apologise.
Aldrig hørt en smukkere version, end denne. Oliver Jones, han er et geni. N.H.Ø.P., er jo bare pragtfuld. Peterson er næsten 80 år, men sparker virkelig r.. , her i det bedste selskab. Har, hørt og hører denne hver dag, op til flere gange, da den betyder uendeligt for mig personligt. Smileyerne er kun symbolsk, ellers sad jeg her også om 50 år, hvis jeg virkelig, skulle vise min respekt, for verdens bedste jazzmusiker , OSCAR PETERSON, og Oliver Jones, samt N.H.Ø.P., og "band". Savner dig og din musik. Copenhagen Jazzfestival 2022,-maybe.
As much as I love this song and everything it represents and as much pleasure OP has given me through the years I can't help crying like a baby every time (and that is many many) I listen to it. But they are good tears. To me, OP will never die.
I'm so glad i could hear this amazing, beautiful collaboration through the tears in my eyes. I'm so blessed that my Father introduced me to this music.
fabulous--both have plade it somany times over the years....the tremellos still there : Oscar's 1964 live version ----memories of greatness from two canadian masters....
I have listened & watched this performance hundreds of times & usually over & over again. Oliver is great but Oscar Peterson is the greatest jazz pianist ever.
Extraordinaire, surhumain, ou trop humain! Je pleure chaque fois. L'art à sa plus haute expression. J'aimais déjà énormément la version de l'hymne dans "Night Train", mais là, je suis défoncé.... Merci
Yeah she is f good, the band assembly,so close, so good, only a musician can appreciate good ,well I'm not a musician, but I can say,one only thing, way very good,tnx guys.
This is not so much about beautiful music, but love and humility, which transcend the occasion. Peterson is all too aware that the hearers are moved by his illness and demise, yet, with a face full of emotion, he gives much credit to Oliver Jones by that simple sideways acknowledgement of his hand, and then the parting low bows and kissed fingers gesture thrown to an adoring audience. Divine moments.
Was just listening to CBC Radio The House where there was a segment about making August 1st the Emancipation Day holiday. A short clip of his tune was played.

one of the most superb version, of Hymn to freedom, with his old time friend Oliver Jones. haleluuuuuuuua
This why I love Oscar. Oliver helped him out so much and their hug at the end is so beautiful. In harmony, there can be no war.

36 years old. I watch this and all of Oscar's performances. And i always end up with a tear in my eye. A very sad day when he left us. x

He had a stroke
An absolute MASTERPIECE!❤
One of my all time favorites from Oscar Petersen and his trio. Beautiful piece of piano jazz...
This is like watching Rembrandt paint one of his masterpieces - WOW!!!!
I love this man so much ❤
I saw Oliver Jones Trio at a university gig in '88. Absolutely stunning performance. After the show, he came to the back and said hello to the small audience and was just like you see him here, smiling and gracious.
Two incredible jazz pianists from Québec.
Just as beautiful in 2021 as it ever was!
The younger Oscar would have set that place ablaze!
Nevertheless HE STILL STILL DID!!!
This is a wonderful hymn
Soooo friggin good
YES YES - HYMN TO FREEDOM - Can`t be said more precisely !!!
This song makes me cry!!
Criticalperspective2 :)
Makes me smile through tears! Simply PERFECT!

Just beautiful to see Oscar play his tune at this stage of his life.
I just shed a little tear. I miss Oscar Peterson.

wow. I heard this after I bought Peterson's "Night Train" CD and it REALLY stands out as a true gem. True beauty in sound. What a gift.
My dear Oscar , you are the best congratulations from Argentina.

Rørende, det ligger så mye bak denne hymnen. Og for en fantastisk framførelse
YES YES YES. Boy, do we need this now!!!
Beautiful music made by a truly great artist. Also, one of the rare times he's seen playing anything other than a Boesendorfer.
It is truly true that man consists in the affection that most sustains him
What a gift!
말이 필요없고요
무슨 글을 써야 할지!~
수식어가 없어요!~
황홀했습니다.
잘 들었습니다.
Beautiful song and wonderful performers.
Thank you.
I have listened & watched this performance hundreds of times & usually over & over again. Oliver is great but Oscar Peterson is the greatest jazz pianist ever.
A concert from a time when the world was normal.
Every time I watch this, I think it's so beautiful harmony.
Pura emoción. Me llegó al corazón!
Yes!
Wow Greatness
Love this version with Oscar and Oliver
Extraordinaire, surhumain, ou trop humain! Je pleure chaque fois.
L'art à sa plus haute expression.
J'aimais déjà énormément la version de l'hymne dans "Night Train", mais là, je suis défoncé.... Merci
Music interpretation of “I have a dream”. Brilliant!
You're the only one that has interpreted this perfectly
Tellement beau et émouvant...j'adore
I could listen to this on a loop forever.
HYMN TO FREEDOM 素晴しい！ JAZZ曲では無いのに完全にジャズに成っている！
Extraordinaire !!! Bravo Messieurs et merci
Perfection to the most perfect song ever written!!!

The Giant Oscar Peterson
Lords of music.
Was just listening to CBC Radio The House where there was a segment about making August 1st the Emancipation Day holiday. A short clip of his tune was played.
I'm not entirely certain what Oscar said to Oliver when they hugged....but my heart heard, "Love you, brother."
I bought my "Night Train" around 1975 or so.. My favorite track !!
Only LOVE coming from that soul!!
녹아 있네요 힝..감사합니다.
Tout simplement... exquis! Dire que c'étais à Montréal en plus... que dire... je suis sans mots! =)
Magnifique!
Great performance by the King
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
