The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) has many hours of Oscar Peterson recordings, beginning from when he was a teenager. When he passed on, they played many of those recording, and I remember one in particular. I'm sorry I don't remember the song, and I don't remember where, or when it was recorded, but I remember this. He was playing along in his usual excellent style, and about 2/3rds of the way through the song, he took off like a 747 roaring into the sky. He went to another level altogether. The freedom and joy of his playing just took your breath away. I can't even imagine what it must have been like for those in the audience. A glimpse of heaven. He was truly one of the best.
Saw Oscar in 1997 with my whole family at his return after a 1994 stroke at Carnegie Hall. A courageous return since his left hand was effected. Unbeliveable performance.
Love how Oscar slyly throws "Corner Pocket" into the solo. Always thought Oscar's solos sounded stylistically more like a horn player than a pianist. So inventive!
Wonderful♫ ♪♫♫ Oscar Peterson, piano Dave Young, double bass, Martin Drew, drums.!!! Great Musicians.♪♫♫ Thanks. / New York City Monday, September 6th.,2021♦♦♦♦♦ Gracias.
Martin you were able to hold on to those moments where Oscar went silly and jammed in those couple of ongoing stalls and left the thing just hanging for seconds in the later verses. Well done lad...
@@MikeNewland I saw Oscar 3 times in Australia in the 70's when we had a radio program. On the 1st occasion, Oscar was in no mood for an interview. By the time the last visit cam around he was a balloon. Poor Oscars left hand was gone after that Stroke.
@@bozotheclown935 i meant Martin Drew was a balloon about ten years ago in Ealing - badly worded. Oscar the same of course. Just awful. Killed themselves with their mouths, Such a waste
@@MikeNewland The Good Life... I like in Oscars Biography "Jazz Odyessey", he talked about those years spending every cent he had on jewellery, suits, clothes and great restaurants. I guess he enjoyed his success. He was grateful od Norman Grantz telling him one day he was not lending Oscar another cent, which prompted Oscar to get his finances a bit more steady and I suspect reel in his lifestyle as well. Probably by that time the damage was on its way. I do not let a day pass without listening to him. Martin had his ears wide open when he was playing never ever dropping a beat. Nothing these days like thos ol greats.
@@bozotheclown935 Martin gave lessons before he died article in The Times. Windsor I think. £50. I regret not visiting once. Used to see him at Ronnie's lots 60s I think.

Mr. Peterson was a Master on those Black and White keys. R. I.P. my brother. R.I.P. 5/28/2023
Maestro del jazz. ❤
How many thousand times, night after night, he had to play this absolute winner, probably his most popular interpretation?
Es war ein Erlebnis , ihn so im Konzert zu hören und zu sehen !
Please pay attention to Martin Drew. Have you ever seen a drummer like him?
He is watching Oscar all the time he plays.
Indeed he does. You need to hang on to Oscar because you never know when he is going to let go.
Saw him manty times at Ronnie's in the 60s 70s then before he passed at the Ealing Jazz Festival.
Love how Oscar slyly throws "Corner Pocket" into the solo. Always thought Oscar's solos sounded stylistically more like a horn player than a pianist. So inventive!

Great pianist
Q pedazo de máquina eras Peterson
This was the song that leaped me into Jazz in 1975. Not this particular performance. No it was with Brown and Thigpen.
holy sh*t!
😯
4:31 what a legend
Wow
Martin you were able to hold on to those moments where Oscar went silly and jammed in those couple of ongoing stalls and left the thing just hanging for seconds in the later verses. Well done lad...
Saw him at Ealing Jazz Festival horrified by how fat he was and blurted it out. He heard me. Died shortly afterwards. So unnecessary.

So This Is Why The Heavens Invented Piano !!!!!
Oscar on vocals too 😊
I know - he could sing! I love his singing!
Glenn Gould, Oscar - I think it’s a Canadian thing
Как,, же, красиво., солидно😊😊😊
its him doing those mmmh mmmh noises??
😊
En Vitoria?
뮤지션들의 호흡이 참 아름답게 보입니다 ❤
이 노래는 오스카 피터슨이 치는 게 제일 좋더라 진짜
04:32 . Only Oscar Peterson
Nobody talkin about the last arrangement before the last head
1:23 グッド
かちゃーりにカバーしてほしい曲
Burt was music not lyric, why does Hal David get a pass?
Much prefer this bass player to Pederson. I think Dave was a fellow Canadian who helped Oscar back to music after his (Oscar's) Stroke.
Dave Young much better than Pederson.
Who is Pederson?
@@PastorRichardAllenFarmer Neils Pedersen bassist was with Oscar for many years...
Nobody like Oscar
