      “How can someone be so ridiculously good”. ??
      Countless hours after hour of hard work, learning, listening and practicing, year after year after year! And when it comes to people like Oscar & Joe, that special “touch from above” that sets them apart from the other 99% of great musicians.
      And while most guitar & piano teachers argue against the idea of a “special touch from above”, as a guitarist myself I can say over the last 50+ years, I’ve seen and played with a few people that also had that touch. It’s like when the 4 year old child sits down at a piano, and just starts playing it, having never before even touched it. These few gifted people are at a level of playing, that 99% of people will never attain, no matter how much they play and practice! Don’t get me wrong, that’s NOT to say guys like Oscar & Joe didn’t have to work hard to get where they’re at. It’s just to say they have that ability to reach a higher proficiency than others, IF they put their effort into it.

    Joe Pass. Excellence. No fans blowing his hair. No fake whammy bar tricks. No fake facial expressions. No glamour clothes. Straight to the point. Respect. Class. Art. We could use some of these values today. Oscar Peterson is also phenomenal. He plays the piano the it’s fullest extent. Some classical pianists don’t know how to make it sing like that.

He told me that 'instinct' and 'speed' were triggered, and arised as he kept playing with OP's trio...

    Grew up watching him a Dantes in the SFV on Monday night, guitar night, he was a regular.. In 1972 I could pay for two $1.75 drinks ($3.50) and watch him for hours. I was 19 and playing in the CSUN jazz band and gradually made friends with him. He invited me over when he bought a house in Van Nuys to help out and I hung out with him there about a dozen times over the next couple of years. Not only was he a genius, but one of the most caring and generous people I ever met. Don't believe me, ask Dave Paich, of Toto, I dated his sister Lorrie for years and I'm less than two years older than Dave, he knew. Joe warned me that a great jazz player must know every standard inside out, I never had the drive to do that. Make no mistake, his talent cannot be bought or attained by practice, ya gotta be born with it.
    What happened to Dante's, IT'S A BANK PARKING LOT - PROGRESS! HE NEVER PLAYED THE SAME THING TWICE THAT i HEARD AND i LISTENED A LOT.
    What I remember most is that he said was THERE ARE NO BAD NOTES.

    Was at Hampshire College in mid-70's. Went to Hartford Civic Center to see Oscar and Joe and Sarah Vaughn and Basie Orchestra.
    Even for a rock and roll hippie it blew my mind.

      If you are I am a very very close second.
      I 'discovered' Oscar Peterson just in the last 7 days max, no more than 10 days ago.
      As I write this it is 11/23/21. So when I come back to this or maybe the future me does I'll always remember how late in life I found OP.
      And now I cant get enough of OP and Joe Pass.

      @@ThunderAppeal Don't worry, there will be more coming after - perhaps not yet born - who will be saying that some time in the future. I used to watch Oscar Peterson's show on the BBC when I was a teenager and I had already discovered Art Tatum by then! It helps to have parents with cultivated tastes. Joe Pass came a little later.
      I am always saddened to think of the 14 years Joe Pass lost to heroin at the beginning of his career; perhaps his playing was so good because he was always trying to make up for lost time but it was a sad waste all the same.

      “Clicked on it by accident -wasn’t in the mood --don’t like jazz -- totally blew me away.” It amazes me that not everybody in the world had that same reaction when being lucky enough to hear this music. Something happens to most people I guess that narrows their mind as they grow up and then their minds are closed and stuck in that narrow mode. Education should be focused on training children how to keep their mind open throughout their life so that they recognize QUALITY when it appears no matter what the form genre is.

      This happend to me several times I heard just a little peace of Oscars music; I know that Frank Sinatra once said, that he got back to his hotel after being out for something, switched the TV on, saw Oscar Peterson trio in concert, sat down on the bed with hat and coat on and after one hour found himself still sitting there with hat and coat.

      @@christophueberhorst7924 Thanks for that interesting piece of music history. It seems the Oscar bubble is a thing. I might have heard his name before, but I didn't know anything about him. I didn't watch this show because I felt any sense of obligation to the great names, it just turned out that I'd accidentally clicked on some musical ketamine and there was no escape. Oscar should come with warning labels. Is he even FDA approved? 😆

    Truly wonderful. Masters of their respective instruments. Really enjoyed this, but it irks me a little when people say, 'The greatest of all time.' Just for instance, Joe is not better than Django...Django is not better than Joe...so on and so forth. When they get to the stage where they can be - quite rightly - called elite musicians, then it is simply a matter of taste. This works across all the arts.
