One of those rare symbiotic relationships where both enable each other to soar freely while pushing each other to do their very best work. My favorite duo of all time!
I come back to this recording at least once a month. There's never been anybody quite like Oscar. Wish I had been blessed enough to have met and learned from him in person. Hope you're chilling up there in the afterlife, grandmaster Peterson! We all miss you so much ♥️

just like Niels Henning can evoke a feeling of something uniquely inherently Danish but also encapsule the whole of Scandinavia with its landscapes and light in a few mellow singing lines
Dear Team of "WORLD OF JAZZ"! GREATEST THANKS FOR THE GREAT MUSIC! PLEASE MORE Mr. OSCAR PETERSON!!!!! He is the best for ever! I had a great honour to meet him and dedicated and presented him several of my works. Mr. Peterson praised the music and personally placed these works in his own archive in the National Library of Canada in 1997.
These two, as a double bass and piano player they are currently my favorite players of all time. Everything about them is something to idolize, the passion they have for music to showcase what it truly can be. Guys it is up to us to keep this alive, great music like this has no reason to fade!
I have been a lifelong fan of OP and NHOP. Great artistry....Great swing! I think we have to add a note of appreciation to the recording engineers and videographers who captured these images and sounds for our enjoyment 40 years later!
NHOP must have been the Nemesis a la Art Tatum for all other bassplayers during the 70s and 80s...... And guitarists to......Looking at this almost 40 years later, its still totally breathtaking...
Paul Jackson .....I’m clapping in isolation here in midtown manhattan.... and missing my regular Monday night jazz at Kitano around the corner. This is indeed a treat. Miss Jenny
I was beginning to think that having Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Keith Jarrett in the same century was signaling the end of the world -- that God wanted to get in all the incredible, mind-boggling creating he could before he pulled the plug.
@@danwaldis4553 All three of those you’ve just lsted annouced the beginning of a new era in finding the right keys ... The only sad part is that, most of so called “White Canada” still doesn’t have a clue who OP was, let alone what kind of a *Giant* he was. Some call it *Rasism*, I’ll feel blessed and just listen to his playing ...
They just had fun and got paid doing it !! The applause for a job well done ...Priceless ! Thank God for Hands that have that amazing life giving dexterity !!
These two men were gods on earth with what they chose to do. Players that want to learn jazz, it can’t get any better. Listen to these two closely, over and over it will help unwind a little the miracles Oscar and Neils did every time they played, never the same way twice. So wherever the giants of their craft, are now , miracles do happen. I will carry these artists in my heart forevermore.
Привет всем западным и остальным дж.музыканьам,Оскар и Неилс не от мира сего,слушаю ежедневно,а когда сплю,то этот концерт прокручивается во сне,я клавишник,понимающий всю уникальность вариаций Оскара,меня дрожь берет...Привет с Донбасса,где с 14г.идет гибридная войнушка...
You're burning my ears here, Peterson. At this stage I'm seriously starting to fear that a spontaneous self combustion is imminent. Too much is happening here, man. Too much, too perfect. You're all over the place. You go where no man has gone before.
If I haven't said this already here last year, and my comment might have sunk way down to the bottom of the last page, I'll tell you this: I WAS THERE!!!!! Later on I had this on video, and now it's at my fingertips on You Tube. Hail to our present day technology. Thank you "World of Jazz"!!
@@reginaldmoses2273I also had the same experience you had, with difficulties to recall this tune name. I remembered vaguely something like "good pal" or "nice fellow" and googled but haven't found such a standard, but then, I noticed it's up there is the video description : " Tracklisting among others: Old Folks....." OLD FOLKS, that's what it is :-)
I will never know what the lord put into this man, but I know exactly what came out. It’s plain to see. The ability to produce any emotion at any given time
It just amazing to hear how much he put in-between the melody. And How effortlessly he does it. He just heard on a different level, and was able to play it.
1979: Art Tatum smiling with awe at this sensational perfoermance 2019: Oscar Peterson sending his blessings to the loyal Jazz community around the world
This was the first concert I ever attended, just 12 years old, such a magical experience, seeing my idol doing it in the flesh, unbelievable really. I vividly remember Soft Winds.
mcrohof he was a great guy I used to tune the pianos for him and sometimes we had a 'sesh' together many times afterwards jamming through to the early hours on 2 pianos! I used to call him the big 0 he was of course a better pianist than me but I learnt a lot
How fortunate you could have this experience at 12 years old. I was about double your age and saw him in Köln, Germany. I sat in the front row, with my wife, close to the piano. Already as I saw him walk out, and sit on the piano stool - my heart was thumping. But when he played that first cord, my throat tightened and I thought I would never get my breath back. That moment, even after 50 years, my throught feels that moment. I always appreciated going to concerts when in Germany, listening to my music with appreciative music lovers.
12 years old, train from Bellingham, Wa to Vancouver, BC. Lots of walking-nothing to fear in the early 60s. Oscar with Ray and Herbie. Home by 3am. What an experience!
Both sublime musicians, I count it amongst one of my most incredible live music experiences, witnessing Oscar Peterson play live in Liverpool in 2006. He was old and frail, requiring assistance on stage by band members. But when he played everything came alive, even though I was only 10 at the time it was clear to me that I was in the presence of a special artist. Would you believe that on the same day England was playing Portugal in the World Cup and as a result a good portion of the audience was not in attendance which meant we were able to get much better seats than the ones we had paid for. Sad that people prioritised football but lucky for me and my dad to hear such a great musician in what was one of his last concerts in the UK.
Футбол и музыка просто не стоит сравнивать туфту с великолепием!Поражен тупостью людей,куда пойти на гавно или красоту душевную,прекрасную гениальную джазовую она же классика,она же сплав увертюрности этих музыкантов,у меня дрожь,какой футбол????Опомнитесь,кто вы люди,или я не такой?
Евгений Пермяков Couple hundred recordings (including lots of other composers’ complete songbooks as well as some other recordings with just a couple of his own compositions), and thousands of live performances where he played other composers works as well as his own, and you’re insisting he was mainly a composer. Do the math.
This Genius is an extreme Rarity. I honestly don't think we'll have another like him and also the feat today's pianists would need to even come close in today's world. Thank you Mr. Peterson!
I think that the only one that can come close to Oscar..is gesus Molina from Colombia... you can see his videos...a lot of people and musicians say that he is the next Peterson
Honestly, this dude was a living legend, he plays the jazz like it's nobody's business, with an immense elegance and staggering melodic feeling. I don't think there will ever be another Oscar Peterson.
OF COURSE, THERE WON'T BE. GOD MADE ONLY ONE OF US. NO TWO OF US ARE ALIKE. THAT'S WHY THIS HUMAN WORLD IS SO INTERESTING. I DON'T THINK I COULD STAND ANOTHER ME. ha ha WE HAVE TO ENJOY AND LOVE PEOPLE IN THE MOMENT AND KEEP THEIR MEMORY ALIVE THROUGH (UA-cam, ALBUMS, CD'S, MOVIES, ETC.) SO WE CAN LISTEN TO THIS GREAT MUSIC ANY TIME. I LOVE WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT OSCAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH! SYLVIA - FL- 02-17-2019
@@ksenos69 It's no different than saying Art Tatum is the best pianist of all time. Peterson, Powell, Costa, Molina, Henry, Hitomi, Sims, Evan, Hancock, Corea, Brubeck aren't scrubs by any means. But Tatum, tho... Same with NHØP. Mingus, Peacock, Brown, Pastorious, McBride, Jones, etc. ain't scrubs... but NHØP, tho...
The trail of notes, the sounds, are unpredictable to my ears. That’s part of what excites me listening to this level of talent. How does he / they know where to go next, the perfect inevitable note is always there and is such a perfect joyful surprise for me following him / them down the rabbit hole.
I like Oscar Peterson a lot and his bands. Is friendly smile and nice disposition makes excellent music as always much gratitude and thanks to him it's always a pleasure to hear him and talk with him to his interviews like with Dick cavett or funny and great informative to God bless
NHØP is the greatest Danish jazz musician of all times. And no doubt the very best bass player in the world. When the very very best jazz pianist ever selects the best bass player as his side-man in a duo concert, something special might happen. And it did! The best performance of both of them, I've ever heard! Amazing!!
I had always heard the name "Oscar Peterson", but didn't really know anything about him. What a wonderful man having a musical heart and mind. I love when he and "The Count" talked and played together. Oscar was just a sweet human being. I only discovered his piano playing and am sad that he died many years ago. Such talent, what a great soul! SYLVIA - FL 2018
@@themfu Thank you. I've listened to Ben playing the organ, piano & singing and I love him! Thank you for pointing him out to me!! :>) SYLVIA - FL - 02-17-2019
Wonderful. As a lifelong fan of both jazz and classical piano, I have always noted the sound of different piano makers. Peterson played a Bösendorfer, an instrument with a unique sound profile. The lower strings in particular have a resonance like no other piano, a quality well suited to the left hand of the great Oscar Peterson.
Met Mr Peterson at `Jazz at the Philharmonic` in his dressingroom in Bournemouth UK and then on the tour bus. A perfect gentleman, dedicated to his music and it shows.
Simple sublime! Take in the extinct species that has been captured here. I doubt in my lifetime there will even be anyone who comes close to Dr. Peterson! Herbie Who? Chick, isn't that a baby chicken? I am lucky to have been able to see Oscar perform on more than 20 occasions! One time on a small upright piano in a classroom with 5 other students. That was life changing! His energy, enthusiasm, humour, talent and hard work were unparalleled. NHOP was such a bad ass! He had the personality of an Angel. He demonstration his genius between sets one night when I was 13 years old. He took me aside and started playing his bass.He proceeded to lighting the thing on fire with his superb musicality and extreme technical prowess. 40 years later I am still in awe!
Chick Corea and Hiromi are great, watch the video of them together. Oscar just embodies a blues piano background. I don't think any pianist with comparable talent evolving today would want to play his way - it's been perfected.
Jcftmk Dalaxiy but as beautiful and impressingly effervescent Oscar played his tonal vocabulary was centered around a turnaround/ blues and ballad style that was rooted in the swing era. He never transcended into impressionism or exotic flavorings, abstracts or synthetic scales nor polyrhythms or atonal moods like Chick Corea mastered in his own unique style.

Only a handful of bass players in jazz history could hold their own with Oscar. Pedersen was the absolute best!
One of those rare symbiotic relationships where both enable each other to soar freely while pushing each other to do their very best work. My favorite duo of all time!
Absolutely unreal
Saw him live. Never got into that guy. Lines exceedingly ordinary.
It must be so nice to just imagine what you want to hear and just be able to play it!
"So nice"? 🤣🤣🤣😭😍
I can’t even hear what he’s playing it’s so hard
It’s nice when the hand just do it. They are Nike hands.
The secret is: practice, practice, practice. 😉😁😁😁
@@Derberber3 the 3 key secrets to success... love that quote. So true
If you're doing a duo with Oscar Peterson you know you're one of the best. These two are legendary.

Truly one of the greatest pianists who ever lived. I hear a lot of great player who inspire me, and then there is Maestro Oscar Peterson.
A real Canadian treasure

Peterson & Pedersen. How could it be better?
Not sure, maybe with a Pethreesen as well.
That... rocked my world. Glad to be in an age where I can experience this... on a planet where this happened.
I have written it before and will repeat, If you dont feel well and happy after listen to this two UNIC artist you have missed something in life..
How can you adequately describe this level of God-given talent of Oscar Peterson. You can only say; TANKS!
Nils Henning Orsted Pederson was really on of a kind - an absolutely solitaire!
These two men were simply the best. And even better than the great music they were playing was to see the way they enjoyed what they did.
Fabulous duo. Pederson compliments Oscar fantastically
when I hear this capture a strong homesickness not only for Canada but for America and the people and landscapes there
just like Niels Henning can evoke a feeling of something uniquely inherently Danish but also encapsule the whole of Scandinavia with its landscapes and light in a few mellow singing lines

He took me aside and started playing his bass.He proceeded to lighting the thing on fire with his superb musicality and extreme technical prowess. 40 years later I am still in awe!
My grandfather introduced me to Oscar Peterson when I was a little squirt
... and I am more in awe now than I ever was.
Chick Corea and Hiromi are great, watch the video of them together. Oscar just embodies a blues piano background. I don't think any pianist with comparable talent evolving today would want to play his way - it's been perfected.
@@skierpage Oscar Peterson is far superior to Chick Corea and hiromi
His technique and dexterity are so refined
Jcftmk Dalaxiy but as beautiful and impressingly effervescent Oscar played his tonal vocabulary was centered around a turnaround/ blues and ballad style that was rooted in the swing era. He never transcended into impressionism or exotic flavorings, abstracts or synthetic scales nor polyrhythms or atonal moods like Chick Corea mastered in his own unique style.
