    I've always admired Legrand's genius as a composer, but am slightly embarrassed to admit that I had no idea his piano chops - JAZZ piano chops - were at this level. Playing with Peterson, and holding his own. Respect.

      Michel, that I got the chance to know personally, was a tremendous jazz pianist. He was completely inhabited by something divine when he was playing. I am working for 7 years on a documentary on him that should be released for the big screen at the end of the year in France.

      You're right, I noticed it too. Michel departed this morning in Paris France. He was 86. Our national radio station, France Musique, is doing an hommage to him all day today. He was a monument in himself. As to Oscar, my God, words don't suffice . All the best from France.

    I remember seeing this on TV in the UK some years after it had first been broadcast. Just gorgeous. Of the three, Oscar Peterson is the only one I ever heard live, also in 1984. Love the way composer of the tune Michel Legrand looks over in awe at what Oscar Peterson does with the piece. Great to see and thanks for posting this.

      I had a mind-blowing grandmother whose thoughts could send your mind into orbit for days. She once said "People are dying to live instead of living to live." She reckoned the heaven we're living in was no slouch compared to anything the afterlife might possibly offer up. The short of it is to enjoy the one you're in while you can -- just in case.

    The impression I had after watching carefully, is like a master and his piano lessons pupil. Michel Legrand is a great composer, fantastic, but here, the pianist is Oscar Peterson. Oscar transcends everything Michel thought about his own music. Look how Peterson plays with the harmony at the final of the theme presentation. My goodness ! What I have done to see on the same stage Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, or Chick Corea... 🎷🙏🙏👍❤️❤️
