Two geniuses displaying unbelievable talent all at once. This one of Legrand best and prettiest songs and no two could ever do it better. RIP both of you and know you are gone but not forgotten.
What a video, wow. I'll treasure this forever. RIP MASTERS (in big letters) and thank you for leaving this to us who still love and appreciate what you did.
OSCAR PETERSON, is god tier on the piano. How he remembers all of those intricate rifts, chords, progressions, inversions, and key changes is beyond me. And at any speed and tempo. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Deux géants magnifiques ! ..J'ai eu la chance d'être dans une soirée club au club latitude de Val d'isere , en compagnie de Michel Legrand , un homme très gentil en plus ! j'accompagnais Rhoda Scott a la batterie...superbe souvenir en 1992 .
Absolutely the world has lost both these genius musicians, but you can hear and sense the joy and enthusiasm they have for their music and sense of enjoyment of their joint unmatchable performance.
pure class.the look on michels face when oscars playing says it all.i sense real love between everybody here.n.h.o.p my hero.our own mighty world class martin drew.wonderful stuff.
This is what makes UA-cam great! Wonderful to listen to the music but to see them play together does add to the appreciation - wow, they really just did that! Put them together and Watch What Happens (couldn't resist).
I definitely agree this a jewel in the crown of two great musicians. This is what I love about UA-cam all this great music and other knowledge and the list is endless. Thanks for sharing this amazing concert. 💗💗
Just noticed the way that Michel Legrand is looking at Oscar Peterson like an admiring puppy ! Fantastic - the admiration of one world class musician for another !
You're right, I noticed it too. Michel departed this morning in Paris France. He was 86. Our national radio station, France Musique, is doing an hommage to him all day today. He was a monument in himself. As to Oscar, my God, words don't suffice . All the best from France.
This is a classic performance by 2 masters of the piano. We should also make a strong note that recognizes the superb talents of bassist Niels Henning Orsted Pederson and drummer Martin Drew who along with Joe Pass made some very outstanding performances with Oscar. Thank you for sharing.
I watched Oscar, Niels and Martin along with Ulf Wakenius in guitar when they performed here in Buenos Aires. However Oscar came with his left hand affected by the stroke he had sometime ago. Anyhow the emotion was great.
@@lyndonholcomb9337 Art Tatum played a early style of jazz and I too prefer Oscar Peterson. However, Art Tatum was unmatched technically in his playing. Elmo Hope and Teddy Wilson are also nice.
I remember seeing this on TV in the UK some years after it had first been broadcast. Just gorgeous. Of the three, Oscar Peterson is the only one I ever heard live, also in 1984. Love the way composer of the tune Michel Legrand looks over in awe at what Oscar Peterson does with the piece. Great to see and thanks for posting this.
Nice to see a bunch of musicians just playing and enjoying themselves...no funny faces ...no funny dress ...just straight talent and love of what they are doing.
I've always admired Legrand's genius as a composer, but am slightly embarrassed to admit that I had no idea his piano chops - JAZZ piano chops - were at this level. Playing with Peterson, and holding his own. Respect.
Michel, that I got the chance to know personally, was a tremendous jazz pianist. He was completely inhabited by something divine when he was playing. I am working for 7 years on a documentary on him that should be released for the big screen at the end of the year in France.
have ADORED Michel LeGrand since I first heard Brian's Song and Summer of '42 soundtracks in the 70s as a teenager.... saw him play with the Charlotte Symphony in 1986 & sat there with tears in my eyes, it was so moving and beautiful... Je t'aime, Michel.... j'espere que vous dormez bien maintenant.
Il en fallait un, Aymeric Le Martelot... Et c'est vous qui remportez ce jour la palme d'or de l'intervention la plus sotte... Tous mes compliments. Un grand merci pour votre participation !
Il est parti pour être autre Monde mais nous laisse en héritage des quantités de belles mélodies, de belles histoires, de parapluies, de demoiselles, de peaux d'ânes, de poésie, de folie !
absolutely astonishing. There are times during this that I cannot help but giggle and laugh in admiration at the talent on show. Thank you all gentlemen !
I had a mind-blowing grandmother whose thoughts could send your mind into orbit for days. She once said "People are dying to live instead of living to live." She reckoned the heaven we're living in was no slouch compared to anything the afterlife might possibly offer up. The short of it is to enjoy the one you're in while you can -- just in case.
Your compositions and your playing have made my heart sing since I was a 5yo child. My parents were fans especially my Dad, thanks to them. Thank you Michel. RIP

geo lin Many of us have OTHER talents. We get our love and pride expressed them leaving us to wallow in the beauty and skill of these geniuses. Maybe we cant play like them. but our minds and hearts can.
If I thought that way Mr. Geo Lin, I couldn't listen to this. Was I ever great in my playing piano? Some people said yes, others said, including professors, "He holds promise", or "If he'd kept with music". I don't compare myself to Mr. Peterson, but some of us could really play that chose other professions, maybe not the best decision for experiencing almost total love while we played; earning a steady paycheck q 2 weeks & to be able to buy what we needed & for our loves and sock some away, also good.
And Oscar reportedly stopped playing for six weeks when his father introduced him to Art Tatum's records - and so it goes. If we all stopped playing because someone was better than us, only one person would be left :).
I'd change my name from Paterson to Peterson If I thought it would make any difference to my playing,....but there's no way I could ever play like this,...so I might as well stay a Paterson...lol
2.36 m el gesto de admiración de Michel Legrand al quedar estupefacto por la creación sublime y manejo del instante de Oscar Peterson con absoluta perfección y buen gusto, maestro de maestros del piano de jazz
I may have said it before, but the frisson I always feel when Legrand picks up from Peterson's elegant meditation and the rhythm section comes in simply divine. Someone previously asked, 'is this what Heaven is like'? I very much hope so.
*Chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui meurent, il y a des gens géniaux...* *Heureusement, chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui naissent, il y aura aussi des gens géniaux...* 😍
So gorgeous .. Thanks so much for this treasure .. I love the overhead first shot of Oscar and his hands moving over the keyboard. So much musical love between them ...
Although I'm getting on a bit now,I've finally "mastered" Watch what happens.After hearing Oscar's version,I feel like giving up.....the man is pure genius.If I lived to be 100,I would still be in awe at the "master".One disgruntled 66 year old....lol
The Genius of Oscar Peterson is particularly to be heard starting 2:57 | Mind blowing succession of chords to say the least leaving soloist Bolling and Legrand in the dust...
This is magic. Goes to show that great composers are not necessarily THE best players. LeGrand plays a sort of "white jazz"/Dave Brubeck style while Peterson is smooooth as silk-n-butter....
Moving now, oh yes. Real music by The Master : Oscar Peterson. Michel Legend. Don't you like comments where people like me, jut want to dance and not worry about putting some smart, deep insightful new words on here. Vibes are tremendous today. Enjoy life now.
Peterson lovers, you need to humble yourselves... As wonderful as Oscar is, he cannot even answer into the unique region of Michelle de Grande's artistry, which has an impressionistic purity that hails from his homeland of Ravel and Debussy... Suffice it to say that these are simply too virtuosos without any hierarchy whatsoever. There is no place for chauvinism here.
Two fantastic piano musicians from two different countries, playing perfectly together and really enjoying their time together. I love both of them. SYLVIA! FL 10 19 2020
D'abord, première écoute, quelle virtuosité ! Mais aussi quelle construction sous-jacente derrière tout ça… Et que de talents ! Et de complicité aussi. Just great jazz !
Looking thru the list of comments its so nice to see that there are people like me who appreciate the talent of these two pianists...not forgetting the bass and drums that provide the vehicle for lead instruments to ride on....just be yourself Jim Paterson i like your comment.....

Wow Oscar Peterson is actually playing phrases from umbrellas of Cherbourg amazing

Sandy.. a meld of musical masters, I agree the ultimate of world class.
'Just saw this duet on Michelle's "Watch What Happens" for 1st time & was Elated to see their admiration for one another !!
I agree. I noticed this too. It was so beautiful. What divine magic.

Oscar Peterson was untouchable other than Art Tatum there was none better.
It may be just me, but I really prefer Peterson over Tatum. Peterson, Bill Evans, and Marc Martin are the ones that really turn me on.

Unfortunately Legrand was outsmarted by Oscar Peterson's style of playing with depth and ingenuity.
You can tell Michel Legrand is absolutely blown away when Oscar starts to play. Oscar completely transcends the music.
magnifique
Shit legrand much better
have ADORED Michel LeGrand since I first heard Brian's Song and Summer of '42 soundtracks in the 70s as a teenager.... saw him play with the Charlotte Symphony in 1986 & sat there with tears in my eyes, it was so moving and beautiful... Je t'aime, Michel.... j'espere que vous dormez bien maintenant.
Je suis triste aujourd'hui nous venons de perdre Michel Legrand, un immense artiste.
MOI AUSSI.
Et moi aussi..
Un type prétentieux surtout même si son talent est indéniable ( mais très surestimé )
Il en fallait un, Aymeric Le Martelot... Et c'est vous qui remportez ce jour la palme d'or de l'intervention la plus sotte... Tous mes compliments. Un grand merci pour votre participation !

Michel showed his awesome talent here with wonderful improvisations.
absolutely astonishing. There are times during this that I cannot help but giggle and laugh in admiration at the talent on show. Thank you all gentlemen !
Two of the greatest pianists ever - BUT, Niels-Henning went BEAST MODE on that bass solo!!!
Sh#$%t the f#$$%up with your beast mode..fool
they sure dnt do them like this anymore...its simply a magical journey this music...love it
I hope this is what heaven is like.
way better

they have so much talent while the rest of us are sunk in abject mediocrity. we are failures compared to these 2 giants

+geo lin bez przesady! każdy może być dobry w swoim obszarze...

Jim Paterson check out Ben Paterson I think you will like his playing
Playing with Oscar was like a suicide mission for another pianist. It took a lot of courage - so kudos to Legrand.
Superb conversation they’ve got!
Great musicians! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Its like Horowitz watching Art Tatum all over again 👍😊
Seriously...holy shit! They're all unbelievable!
Beyond Awesomeness Wonderful 🎶💕🎶💕🎹💗🎼🏄🥇🥂
I cannot stop watching this !

Oscar Peterson le plus grand pianiste "swingger man" de tous les temps
GENIO MUSICAL. UN DELEITE REGALO PARA NUESTRA VIDA. GRACIAS DON MICHEL LEGRAND.
Quel magnifique et magique trio de musiciens qui visiblement prennent du bon temps. C’est un grand moment de musique jazz
Dos pianistas maravillosos, pero Michel es además un maravilloso compositor.
The look on Michel's face at 1:44 speaks volumes. Wonderful stuff all round.
I may have said it before, but the frisson I always feel when Legrand picks up from Peterson's elegant meditation and the rhythm section comes in simply divine. Someone previously asked, 'is this what Heaven is like'? I very much hope so.
Magnificent artistry all around.
two geniuses

I love the music of Michel Legrand and have written a guitar piece in his style. It's called Waltz For Mrs K and is on UA-cam.
*Chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui meurent, il y a des gens géniaux...* *Heureusement, chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui naissent, il y aura aussi des gens géniaux...* 😍
nul, c'est de la philosophie de comptoir de bistrot de trou à "rien" !
What a blessing to have this playing! That touch is unforgettable!
4 Monsters of Improv.
So gorgeous .. Thanks so much for this treasure .. I love the overhead first shot of Oscar and his hands moving over the keyboard. So much musical love between them ...
RIP dear Mr LEGRAND....!^^
The GREATEST EVER playing one of his compositions
Although I'm getting on a bit now,I've finally "mastered" Watch what happens.After hearing Oscar's version,I feel like giving up.....the man is pure genius.If I lived to be 100,I would still be in awe at the "master".One disgruntled 66 year old....lol
Bravo Michel ! Superbe Oscar.......merci Claude !
The Genius of Oscar Peterson is particularly to be heard starting 2:57 | Mind blowing succession of chords to say the least leaving soloist Bolling and Legrand in the dust...
Bruno Gebarski What fucking dust?
Two giants on the stage at the same time. Will we ever see the likes of them again?
Michel Legrand's "Watch What Happens" Soon became a Jazz Standard Rembrandt globally & remains Such on January 16th, 2023
This is magic. Goes to show that great composers are not necessarily THE best players. LeGrand plays a sort of "white jazz"/Dave Brubeck style while Peterson is smooooth as silk-n-butter....
Moving now, oh yes. Real music by The Master : Oscar Peterson. Michel Legend. Don't you like comments where people like me, jut want to dance and not worry about putting some smart, deep insightful new words on here. Vibes are tremendous today. Enjoy life now.

Peterson lovers, you need to humble yourselves... As wonderful as Oscar is, he cannot even answer into the unique region of Michelle de Grande's artistry, which has an impressionistic purity that hails from his homeland of Ravel and Debussy... Suffice it to say that these are simply too virtuosos without any hierarchy whatsoever. There is no place for chauvinism here.
They are both geniuses and virtuoso - but I don't care for all the "runs" during the piece. Impressive, but to me, they detract from the composition.
Omg, Oscar Peterson followed Michel Legrand with such precision @ touching! I didn't even notice when he did start to play.
MAGNÍFICOS
Okay I am still watching. What happens? You win the award for Troll Video Title.
Thank you ever so much for posting this. Tremendous!
I like it so much....the eyes and asking great Oscar and great Michel that did all for good music
Deux grands parmi les grands et non seulement ça, un duo piano Legrand/Peterson de qualité ... !! Superbe Jazz-Blues.. !!!!
Michel Legrand les moulins de mon coeur
🎶Quel DUO sensationnel ❤🎹🎶
genius song writer meets the genius song interpreter and listen to what happens.
Smutny dzień [*] Kino francuskie zawsze kojarzy mi się z muzyką Michela.
I would agree totally with all admiring comments?
Michel Le grand ! So French….love them both. ❤❤
I need a transcription of this masterpiece. Badly.
Two fantastic piano musicians from two different countries, playing perfectly together and really enjoying their time together. I love both of them. SYLVIA! FL 10 19 2020
Find yourself a partner that looks at you the way that Legrand looks at Peterson ^.^
What a pity tha today's kids have no idea of this. They listen to that RAP CRAP.
World class musicians performing to perfection! (The piano arrangement of the beguiling Recit de Cassard was particularly inventive and expressive.)
Adieu Michel Legrand . Nous t'aimons .
intertentional camera angle or not, the gleaming beam of light at 6:29 is fantastic
GENIOS ETERNOS ,INIGUALABLES ,.-.-.-.-.-
D'abord, première écoute, quelle virtuosité ! Mais aussi quelle construction sous-jacente derrière tout ça… Et que de talents ! Et de complicité aussi. Just great jazz !
Newest first? Okay, then work it please.
DAMN!. See game recognize game. two Giants!
Looking thru the list of comments its so nice to see that there are people like me who appreciate the talent of these two pianists...not forgetting the bass and drums that provide the vehicle for lead instruments to ride on....just be yourself Jim Paterson i like your comment.....
