@RipCity Raptors Not all that different. IMHO both sounded their best in a slow/mid-tempo ballad style. Tatum usually played it livelier and with greater swing (that's the Waller and Hines influence), Peterson was bluesier and more lyrical, but their fundamentals were mostly the same. People always associate both Tatum and Peterson with virtuosic technique but neither of them was ever alone in that department. What set Tatum apart for me was his extraordinary musical intelligence and his ability to "see" material in a tune that others didn't. Oscar Peterson didn't have that almost compositional arragement talent and at the same time he wasn't a fantastic improviser like Earl Hines. But I still love his playing.
trash at 0:08 it literally sounded like he smashed a bunch of random buttons and everyones like "WOW SUGOI my ears are in HEAVEN!!!!" Wtf are yall listening to? I dont hear the hype Edit: after a bit of analysis, I can confirm that this song is acutally pretty good and fits the theme of the song name. 10/10 would not listen to again tho
God bless your soul Oscar
I love this song! He takes it to another level
This tune is from 1938 and has been recorded/played by just about everyone. Impossible to name a "best" version. This one sure is outstanding.
Check out Charlie Parker’s version 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
O.P. pulls at the heart strings.
This is just so unbelievably good
I miss Oscar, especially around Christmas.
Also love the version that opens the Oscar Peterson interview with Marian McPartland.
That version is beautiful too, very tender
The greatest solo pianist since Art Tatum.

Yessir!!
I was about to write a long text to say just the same you said with just a few words. Brilliant.
He makes it look so easy...
Piano Genius !!!!
Many can play this song but, absolutely no one can play it so quite like Oscar P.
1:14 so fire
オスカーピーターソンのピアノソロでは一番好きな曲です。
レコードではもっと素晴らしい演奏していました。
מדהים
there is a Clifford Brown playing piano version WKCR B'Dy 10.30.14
Clifford Brown is a TRUMPET Player !
he makes it liok super easy
Six dislikes - they must be pop fans !
Alan Bond or hip pop fans
They are just short on historical and musical knowledge of Mr
Peterson.
This version is good, but I think the one he performed for his "Put on a Happy Face" Album was better.
C'e un
I miss the soulful recording with Charlie Parker and Gil Evans. I want less runs and more coherent melody. Am I too old-fashioned?
No! You are nostalgic and a Romantic
We all have our own personal taste. Charlie Parker everything!!!!!
