Servaas Verbrugge thanks!
the 2nd one is called " I concentrate on you" by Cole Porter
And there is also " Someday my prince will come" near 11'
@@noesecula4153 arguably the intro begins more like @10:00
Very noticible was the presentation of flowers to the musicians. Very seldom does this happen in America which let its great jazz music fade away. Bravo to the wonderful audience and the sparkling performance by the world's greatest piano.
Almost fifty years now and still solid gold by any standards.
JON D. ELDER This will be solid in 500 years

Timeless standards
This is fantastic. I think it was after Oscar's first of several struggles with arthritis, and you would never know he was dealing with any sort of hand issues. Still at his best, always was.
I feel like I've never seen three literal geniuses at work in the same space before until now
I met Bobby Durham in Paris some years ago and he told how difficult it was to start a concert at this kind of tempo! I had to warm up a lot backstage he told me... But during this time Oscar was at the bar enjoying a drink... 😂
That's why he was the leader. He already put his time into piano.
Jamal, ALL of these men are on fire! Why can't people get this fabulous music on the radio? It's always the same old same old on every station. These men studied their instrument, can play any kind of GOOD music and we reap the benefit. These men were not out of someone's garage pretending to play music. These are the REAL music makers and the songs are OH so great!

I quite agree 100%,it is a fact that in the vast majority once youve heard one youve heard them all.
exactly, true talent and skill
I don't know how anyone can sit down to that kind of music. This is the kind of song that helps liberate the soul. 12:00 you can see it in his face he put more than his fingers into it, his body is literally pouring out for this
These boy's were on top of their game. In Rome. A long ways from the hood, right? I knew Sam Jones was a good bass player, but I didn't know he was "Oscar Peterson"
Good. You've got to know what you're doin messin' around with Oscar Peterson. I'm impressed. Durham is on fire!
Oscar Peterson Good. Oscar was a God of the piano and swinging. But he ran out of ideas by the seventies.Yes.That is what I said. Heretical. I await the Jazz Inquisition`s righteous responses.
good question. no I had to let off some Oscar steam ! you a piano player ? from the US ?
And the trombonist is???
jamal jabbar in
Errol was the king. Peterson was the emperor. Tatum was the god.
I love how they make it look like that kind of playing is not impossible.
True greatness is in inspiring others that you too can be great!
He has to have had the fastest fingers of any player ever combined with an incredible classical background places him in a speical category of performers. As a 76 year old piano hack, I appreciate his experise..
Check out Eldar Djangirov and Marian Petrescu.
Simply amazingly wonderful - and more amazing !!!!!
50 from now, and they still have that touch, Thanks Masters.
Thank you very much for posting this!
even the trombonist at 22:22 is phenomonal. They all incorporated every singular aspect of jazz and blues develepment the in this preformance. Let it be perfect. Thats it.
DAMN this is just too marvelous for words!!! First time seeing this video!!! Thank you
“Mostly, he wanted to leave his music behind. He knew that he had a great legacy of his compositions and recordings and performances and that’s what he was proud of. He was always looking toward the future, but not as far as what his legacy would be, more how he could challenge himself, how he could play it better the next time, what piece he was going to write. I think that has a lot to say about his humility.” Kelly Peterson - Wife
In spite of the difficult days in Prague during the 1960s, the audience was very fortunate to be able to see this on their TV. It speaks volumes that the audience was so appreciative of this music which must have been frowned upon by the ruling elite at this time.
One of the great Peterson teams, formed after Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen disbanded. Their albums include "Girl Talk", "The Way I Really Play", "mellow Mood", "Travelin' On", ""Tristeza on Piano", and "Helli Herbie".

Check out Bobby Durhams drumming on the 1969 "Hello Herbie" album with Oscar Peterson, Sam Jones and Jazz-guitar great Herbie Ellis. One number called 'Day By Day', features Durham playing the coolest Bossa Nova drum tapping and brush combination ever recorded. The drum taps that sound like rapid clicks, are layered over sweeping brushwork that fills out the rhythm, as legendary Motown bassist James Jamerson would say, "Filling it" beyond what’s possible.
Three cats firing on all cylinders
Ok... Durham might be one of my new favorite drummers. I'd never heard of him before. Not that I can remember. That boy was insane! ... and I'm going to have to add Sam Jones to my favorite bass players list now too. Dang! You'd think I would've heard more of Mr. Jones, being in Cannonball's group. wow... so rock solid.
durham is fucking killer
Better now than never.
Maravilloso love it
The trombonist is Butch Watanabe
Quel spectacle, formidable moment
The Hymn To Freedom intro is timeless and priceless, the energy is overwhelming.
mcrohof I agree that was a different approach to Hymn to Freedom. It suited the venue and energy of the audience.
@@Dontaking2008 Yeah, Just to connect the facts from that time - It was one year after the Soviets invaded the (former) Czechoslovakia and had remained there for 30 years. 30 years of not being able to cross the boarders etc. So Hymn To Freedom had definitely a secret message at that time...
my grandpa saw this concert live, he said he didn't see anything it was that full, I said at least you were there xddd
Amazing, brilliant groove.
Incredible Oscar Peterson 👋✊
Oscar!!!!
Still the best. Be well my friend & Cheers!

Why was the name of the guy on the trombone left out, he does a fantastic job (see 21:30 and after), anybody knows his name?
You look good to me : wonderful ballad by Michel Legrand originally called " les ronds dans l'eau"
the drummer's cymbals ..he was so playing them.. that it seemed like bruce lee with matches good. he was striking them like matches... i'm surprised he had any hair left after he exploded the universe with a massive firestorm of a drum solo after trading with Oscar. name?
Absolute genius!
The god blessed him:))!
Oscar had to help that trombonist that's what it's all about that's tough. I mean at the beginning of the trombone solo the drums were all over the place that horn had to find him. ( I mean all over the place as a good thing)
❤
very good
Any chance to see OP videos at this clarity is greatly appreciated, but it seems to me that the piano is a bit flat or the tape is running a little slow.
Playlist pleeeeease
"Waltzing is Hip" bangs
Unreal
OSCAR = GOAT
Man Eddie Murphy can play some killer upright bass
Set List?
I loved this performance! These guys are incredible. What is the name of the first song?
name of the first song is "the lamp is low"
what colour was his suit?
Fibes drums?
wow.
what about that trombonist?
Good man
What's the name of the first song?
"The Lamp is Low" (by Peter DeRose and Bert Shefter,)
BRAVO !!
Anyone know the date on this? And a setlist?
здесь оскар себя ищет
Does anyone know the name of this first tune? I can't find it anywhere and would love to know!
"The lamp is low" . Oscar often* used it to open a show (* but not as often as Falling in love with love). He opened his 2005 concert in London and the hall was on fire ! Another good version on the 'Reunion Blues live' album can be found on spotify.
Wow, was that a gig worth seeing - three guys at the top of their game! !
wow cool
Help us!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH :))
The OP Trio encouraged visitors to their Jazz Festivals, from all over The World.These Jazz Lovers,sought to listen the Music,and; join the great Task,that is to fathom and proclaim,The Brotherhood and Love ;by their Music, and exemplary life, The Mystery of Godsy Mercy.
Trombonist's name at 26:33...Brunch Wananabe? Lol. No clue what he says
Butch
Anyone know what's he playing at 11:24?
One day my prince will come I think
12:40 I ❤it
What's the second tune?
I've been wondering forever
sounds like it might be the tune of an excerpt from a theatre play
I Concentrate On You by Cole Porter
nobody hav tone like Sam Jones
15:39
220BPM jazz :)
ikr, this is even faster than drum and bass
The first tune must've been at least 300
anooooooooooooo
Don't know way Sam Jones seems to manage OP flood better than NHOP does, IMHO. Stone solid bassist although not that virtuoso.
Any band with great Sam Jones on bass is worth hearing for me. Love Bobby Durham but prefer Sam Jones with Billy Higgins, Louis Hays, Arthur Taylor or Roy Brooks. As to Oscar, one minute he is brilliant and another he kills the music with his endless cliches. But at least he's not boring like so many piano players today!
30:01 Wow
Church
loool the drummer plays triplets in insane tempos like it is nothing xdddd
Same guy in the audience, grabbing his butt, multiple times? Love the trio, the trombone is not synced right, something very wrong there.... just glad these guys could go to Europe and get filmed.
170 bpm
Doesn't sound good.
