    Fantastic! I've known this rendition of Tenderly by heart since I was 15 years old. You're doing great. I had it on a record called Oscar Peterson in Concert. Thank's for posting!

    Single cleanest performance of an Oscar piece I think I've ever seen. Brilliant technique and kudos on transcribing something this challenging.

    Absolutely beautiful.
    Wonderful mix of warmth, talent, and taste--and in my opinion it's a very faithful tribute to Mr. Peterson's style.
    I keep coming back to listen!

    Mr. Martinez, I just bought your rendition of "Surely The Presence Of The Lord" because I can't get it out of my head! I heard it on an internet radio station and I Had to get it because it completely changed my mood for the better the first time I'd heard it! I didn't even realize that this video was the same person who recorded that beautiful piece! Your an amazing pianist and I'll never understand how 17 people could chose dislike but you can't please everyone. Keep up the Great work!

    Stunning - you are an incredible pianist, and you are a credit to Oscar.
    It just reminds us of how inferior we are when we realise that, unlike Peterson, we can't make that up!

  • @Usefulmusic
    @Usefulmusic 14 лет назад

    Soooo good. I've listened to the original 100s of times. One of the best transcriptions I've heard of ANY music: accuracy, the pulse of the missing guitar and bass, feel, technique. That does it for me as well. Instant subscribe.

    If you ever come over to the UK, I would love to hook up on drums, O.P. is my reason for getting into jazz. My dad would play all his big band records as a child but when I heard the Oscar Peterson Trio it all made perfect scence to me, because that's all you need. Piano-Bass-Drums to make the best music ever.
