I attended the recording of this TV show over three days in Toronto back in 1974. Took many photographs and got each performer's autograph on each. I grew up with Oscar being my Dad's best friend. It was pretty cool.
Is Oliver Jones your father?
That’s incredible! Was he as great a person as his music says?
I lived a very interesting childhood. We would go over to Oscar's penthouse apartment at Christmas time and Oscar would play Christmas carols for us.

I believe that the song they are playing is an Oscar Peterson composition entitled "Blues for Big Scotia". This is a session that shows the brilliance of both artists. May Oscar and Ray rest in peace. I truly miss them.
I only wish that this generation would take time to listen to , understand the true meaning of genius and respect what these two have contributed to the world of music and entertainment.
Ray played on a Fender Rhodes electric piano and the song calls Blues for Scotia, it's a great swing blues song... love it !!!
thanx for the post
Ray Charles, Oscar Peterson and Louie Bellson... damn, that's too much talent on one stage!!
Two Giants....and a great hornsection...
This is jamming of the Titans.
Who can wish for more then these two playing the blues together
The technical genius of Oscar and the soulful genius of Ray. What more could you ask for? Two masters show how it's done for us mere mortals.
It's fun to listen to those who love to play and play for the love of music!! You can just feel their emotions flowing out of this as they play.
Ray Charles always knew EXACTLY where that mike - and everything else - was. Blind folk get hip to their surroundings in ways we sighted folks will never fathom.
Ray is having so much fun! The man is practically jumping out the seat! Amazing duet
Two difference sounds, Ray on Fender Rhodes and Oscar on the grand! AWESOME!!
Il faut absolument restaurer ce document !
A great find.
One of the greatest joys of my life, to meet Ray Charles.
What a talent what a gentleman.
Always remember and love his talent.
Nice times! I wasn't born in 74, but I really appreciate the old stuff like this. Can't go wrong... Oscar and Ray for a boogie time!
One of my favourite ever live performances by two phonemenal pianists .... Oscar the virtuoso forever humble and Ray the natural genius overflowing with soul & vitality .... I dare you not to feel this music!!!!
This sums up the very definition of joy and happiness for me
man o man o man!
Two amazing human beings may their spirits live on forever 🕊🕊…
Oscar and Ray two amazing pianist I've been up many a night listening and enjoying the old Jazz greats (happy I'm retired). WE have some very good up coming folks but the likes of Mr Charles and Mr Peterson will be my first choice always.
I'm with you on that. WORD.
Female vocals Ms Billie Holiday, Ms Nina Simone, Ms Roberta Flack and, Ms Nancy Wilson, Wonderful.
I AGREE. And would like to include my fav, Sarah Vaughan. Shalom.
And quite as it's kept Della Reese Etta James can't be left out.
Yes, Della Reese and dear Etta James are great. Etta tears up Misty on THE BLUES IN THE NIGHT CD recorded at Marla Gibbs' Memory Lane Nightclub BACK IN THE DAY. It is superb with Jack McDuff on organ and Eddie Cleanhead Vinson and Red Holloway on sax. DIVINE!
Is any band or anyone out there today playing this kind of music today? I just fell in love with this stuff! Amazing!
Brilliant !!! Fabulous posting!!
Wow! Ray Brown and Louie Bellson, Oscar and Ray!
That is some kinda' rhythm section! We were so lucky to have had days like that.
Show destes dois monstros sagrados, em Novembro de 1974 no programa de Oscar Peterson na CBS do Canada. Maravilha e pouco. Divino ! Quem sabe?

Obs.- Muito obrigado, freakyflob91, pela bela postagem deste video.
That's the shit! Ray takes a killer Rhodes solo in the 2nd half.
Terrill Fisher Thanks, Terrill! happy Easter to you, too!
Doug Hall just searched for this video and saw this comment. 5 years later on Easter Monday. Happy Easter to anyone who’s reading this during the Covid crisis. Stay safe.
2 amazing musicians, 2 amazing people
Two piano legends right there, love it!
Love the way they talk to each other!! So positive, hard to find it in today's World!!
This has gotta be one of the best posts I have ever seen and heard. Period!
Absolutely 💯
Spectacular! Thankyou for this!!
Pure heavan. How lucky we all are to be able to watch such fantastic musicians.

I just stumbled on this gem of a clip where two of my favorite people appeared together. I had assumed that they had never met. The only regret I have is that Ray did not do a rendition of Hymn to freedom by OP. I believe it would have been something to listen to. RIP maestri.
That was such a feel good blues to get you swingin' strong!
Very Rare? Not anymore, thanks for the upload.
Wow! Thank you so much for uploading this :) This made my day!
Thanks for this fantastic post of OP and Ray doing "Blues for Big Scotia" . Rays intro was a tribute to Nat Cole who he and OP were just talking about. Notice the opening riff is a lift/tip of the musical hat to Nat's opening for "Sweet Lorraine" (1:29). The audience appears to initially think that is what they will hear. I wish there wasmore, and yes -this is when talent was regularly on the telly, not "Idols".
My dad used to take Ray from the train station in Bunkie, La. to the Evangeline Club in Ville Platte, La. to play, in the late forties..
Whoever posted this gem, thank you!
One of these guys was the 2nd best musician on the stage.
One of the best comments ever
Well Ray Charles always deferred to Oscar Peterson as the virtuoso. Much like OP deferred to Art Tatum as the virtuoso. Beautiful! May all these musical giants RIP.
This video makes me so happy watching two legends together!
love this song been listening for 2 years cant get enoug
h!!
the way it is suposed to be!!
Just got this video, outstanding memory! Thanks!
This is pure...just pure blues feel from two of the great piano masters.
That was a great clip! Ray Charles played a lot better than I would have expected. Oscar is very kindly trying not to outshine Ray.
A moment of pure musical magic! What an incredible thing to have this performance saved for the ages. WOW! Thanks so much for posting this video. It's a great gift.
FreakyFlob91 Thank you! This is mind blowing! Just so brilliant.
thank you so much for uploading this! it's such a gem!
Thanks so much for sharing this!
I do too. Brilliant man, as is Peterson. They're beautiful men, very personable and entertaining.
Simply mindblowing!!! TWO Greats
thank you
Thank you for the post. It's a real treat to see these (2) master performers together.
Bless you, freakyflob91, you made my evening:-)!!!!
Awesome video, thank you!!!
I had the great honor of meeting Mr. Peterson in Oslo 9 years ago. What an inspiration. Ray Charles is also a huge inspiration, but unfortunately I didn't have a very good experience going to see his show around that same time. He should have retired sooner I think, because that concert was sad, especially when one thinks about what he has done in the past. He is still a legacy though.
ray inolvifable gracias por subirlo
Thank you very much for this gift that hit directly into my soul.
fantastic those were the great days my friends when swing was the thing many thanks freaky.
Wow. Ray was such a musical phenom s was dear Oscar Peterson. Jamie Foxx did a great job playing Mr. Charles in 1994's RAY. Now I eagerly anticipate the biography on Stevie Wonder, another blind virtuoso. THRILLING.
It's synced quite well actually, if you watch Oscars' hand, and the body language of the brass section. Ray just loved syncopation so much, that he head bangs on the off beat lol. I love how much Ray is feeling Oscars fills around 4:00. Ray was music.
this is the first time i ever seen them two together. wow. oscar is always oscar. and ray is playing tasty too. ray is playing a little different here. great clip!!!!!
Lovely!
Can't get more fun than that!
Wow, was that FUN! Thanks for the post, man!
wow wow wow!!! INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Look out! Man, this was great!!
Awesome piece of history!
And on the drums Ladies and Gentleman - Mr. Louie Bellson - These men were artists.
Dvaja najlepsi pianisti na svete.
Two best pianist in the world.
my dad had this whole show on VHS. Am looking for it
This is the best video ive ever seen.....ps love the sound of that Electrik P ray plays,
beautiful
I almost died watching this!! OMG!! Ray&Oscar on one stage..! my 2 fav piano players! This was crazy! again, I almost died!!
WOW! UNBELIEVABLE!
Ray...could he be the best jazzist pianist performer ever
Amazing!
This is why the word Cool was invented!!!!!!
Ray and Nat -what a combo that would have been
Two all=time great piano men together....and even if Nat 'King' Cole was both of their inspirations...they sure don't sound like the "King" Cole. Man, it don't get better than these 2 dearly departeds.
Just call this soul on soul-- fantastic stuff
That is the amazing thing about Brother Ray, complete control of his surroundings. Have you seen the video of him splicing tapes?
que maravilha!
that's a really great video!
What a treat!!!!
Jazz piano bliss - thank you.
There was a Jam session on youtube some time back from this same show when Norman Granz introduced Lockjaw and all the others ....and at the end of the video Oscar thanks Ray Charles....this is my first time seeing this portion.
amazing .
This comes from a CBC (Canadian Broadcasting) 1 hour program called "Oscar Peterson, Very Special" in the early 80's (in good quality color), featuring so many greats like Ray, and a Norman Grantz presentation of JATP with Roy Eldridge, Zoot Zims, Clark Terry, Ray Brown, Louis Belson and so many others. Man, I wish someone can post that show on RUclips in its entirety.
hi forget the technical stuff guys they are two great piano greats enjoying themselves playing blues man GREAT
This is Jazz-Blues ar its best, Thanks for the post
fantastic ;)
yeah i agree, theres only count basie and ray who can successfully duet with oscar. He's so damn good everyone just cant keep up with him. he's simply in a league of his own. Oscar's the man, but ray is just on fire in this vid too! what a duet this is! thanks for posting. ;-)
Thank you!!
Can't help but think that these pianists are getting their groove foundation from no one less than Ray Brown. He's barely to be seen but the feel, the lines, the sound - it MUST be Ray? Anybody got any evidence?
veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy niceeeeeee,thanks :DDDDD
Ray: We just like to be left alone... XD
A monster groove. Really dug that.
cazzo se e' raro,e' introvabile,grazie!
You're right! I remember seeing Stevie Wonder perform on Dancing with the Stars and the cast was amazed at how well he got around.
AHHH Yes Brother Ray, Love'em
