One of the GOATs for sure! Tone to die for and his absolutely perfect pitching lent him the sound of absolute authority that was the foundation of Peterson's sophisticated and ever modulating bop harmonies. Surely, a match made in heaven! And, there is his sense of time here, no drummer right, just sublime, super funky at times before anyone even invented funk! Monster!
Neils' absolutely the most technical bassplayer of all time from his harmonics bassline to his 3 fingered solos and his percussive ghost notes walking lines, just outta this world.. Thought it was Jaco that started incorporating the harmonic thing in bass lines but now I know where he got it from - the GOAT Neils
Great concert of Oscar Peterson and Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen. That time July 15, 1979, I was present in the Congres Gebouw Festival Theatre in The Hague and was able to watch this concert. I had a little record shop in the Theatre's cellar and had the opportunity between selling the records to go and watch this concert. Wow....I'm proud having been present there and watched these two great musicians, who both passed away already, much too early. Great video; watch and enjoy.
Jeg kan so godt lide Niels Henning Ørsted Petersen, da jeg boede 14 år i Danmark, og der er hvert år Jazzfestival, hvor der er som regel mange internationælle jazzmusikere tilstede, der er nærmest i alle gadehjørne musikere og gratis musik.
I'm a lifelong jazz pianist, and if there is an aspect of technique more difficult than having your left hand double your fastest right hand lines, I haven't heard of it. I call it The Final Frontier
Soft rain here, sitting on the porch by myself, bourbon in hand, birds in full voice. It's early Sunday morning here too - I work nights and the spinach garden is looking good for pesto later! 🤣 Nothing is better than Oscar and Niels at 7.53 am on this Sunday morning! Kind regards to you, sir, from NZ 4 years later! 👌

I am very impressed,, thank You, somebody of my friends dont like my jzzintusiasm, never mind, we are not living in Rusland, we still have our friidom.
Between Indiana and There's No Greater Love, Oscar plays Monty Alexander's composition "Consider". Please add it on your list ! Most of the tunes written are wrong here. I'll go back and establish the right list.
sorry, but who cares about the colour of this suit !?... This is pure M U S I C ! ... Music made by humble & so talented human beings inspired by the 'divine' source of Erato ! ;)) Beau concert à vous et bien le bonjour de Bruxelles (Belgique) Peace & Love & Freedom to everyone ;))) Marie.
How did Oscar pick this bass player? Compare this guy to Ray Brown? What am I saying .... you can't ... impossible. Ray Brown had totally inventive bass lines as compared to this... But then again, Oscar was the great man to choose who he wanted, and I was a nobody bass player... but no matter... the ears don't lie.

The ONE and Only Oscar Peterson & The One and Only NH0P. Nothing gets better than this !
Man! Neils on the bass.... never heard upright played like that, breath taking!!!

And like a person, he is very nice and not "VIP" person, very friendly and nice person.
Oscar is always amazing, I love him so much always brilliant on everything he does. Outstanding artist. Edwin South Africa
This is absolutely incredible playing from both of these two phenomenal musicians!!!
They NEVER disappoint!!

Nice to hear that, greetins from Finland.
Повезло вам.
Oscar Peterson was not human! Not only to play that incredible with his right hand but to do those fast octave runs with both hands was insane.
That’s what they said about wilt chamberlain!

Oscar is simply wonderful! Niels, of course, is great as well. They both make it look effortless but also their playing is very melodic and emotional.
Perfect Sunny weather with birds singing to accompany this. Sweet.

Such a combination of fluidity & precision!
I saw these guys in Chicago in May of 79 great video and sound thanks for posting
Lucky man! That was thier prime imho.
I have few regrets; not seeing Oscar Peterson live is one of them! (Thanks RUclips!)
Love this - what a master of jazz piano, what a terrific team! Brightened my Monday mood right up today.

Dos genios ,uno del piano y el otro del contrabajo .No me canso de escuchar ese piano ,las teclas parecen tener electricidad.Un saludo desde España
Something that I just realized is that Oscar has a hint of Chopin Etudes sound in his music!
Great concert, but it's the same uploaded on 06.10.2017 !!
I am very impressed,, thank You, somebody of my friends dont like my jzzintusiasm, never mind, we are not living in Rusland, we still have our friidom.
no Words.
Очень нравится! Я в восторге.
OP giving hand signals to NHOP at 18:26 - Live Jazz!
That’s Oscar telling Niels he’s going to run through the tune twice more before tossing to Niels for a bass solo.
This is magic.
Потрясно... 🥺✨🥺🎉

Indiana?
It doesn’t matter 🤔just enjoy the music
it was uploaded last year.....
This is a slightly shorter edit of the same concert, with a better ending.
Two geniuses on their respective instruments ... P
pure magic....wow
Just his first touch 0:29 is beautiful ❤
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
Очень нравится.
Superman.....faster than a speeding bullet!
That’s what they said about wilt chamberlain!
Uhm, Stereo recording was a thing even back in 1979. Why are we listening to a mono mix down?
27:20 29:54 ...yes lord
11:18 - 17:26
32:21 - 37:47
38:24 - 45:14
52:47 - 57:40
😲
I really wish people would stop using the word live.
It doesn't need to be in there, at all. Especially, in a video of this age.......
Love, Love Oscar but the orange suit has to go!!!!
It was 1979 😁
sorry, but who cares about the colour of this suit !?... This is pure M U S I C ! ... Music made by humble & so talented human beings inspired by the 'divine' source of Erato ! ;)) Beau concert à vous et bien le bonjour de Bruxelles (Belgique) Peace & Love & Freedom to everyone ;))) Marie.
I think it was more peachy-white but the lights made it more orange
He's so proficient it's not fun anymore
Started listening to him in the 60s , fell in love at first sounds. What a joy
How did Oscar pick this bass player? Compare this guy to Ray Brown? What am I saying .... you can't ... impossible.
Ray Brown had totally inventive bass lines as compared to this...
But then again, Oscar was the great man to choose who he wanted, and I was a nobody bass player... but no matter... the ears don't lie.
Класс!!!
