Merci Gilles pour cette excellente vidéo. Peterson était vraiment un très grand pianiste de jazz. Et parmi les préférés de notre ami commun regretté : le feu Jacky. Je te conseille de regarder une vidéo sur RUclips dans laquelle Michel Legrand est en duo avec Oscar Peterson (sur 2 pianos), avec à la basse NHOP... Bien à toi. Christian.
Can anyone tell me why Peterson switched to Sam Jones and Bobby Durham after Thigpen and Ray Brown did so well with him! I mean these guys are top drawer, don't get me wrong, I love all his sidemen especially Sam Jones, but what happened? I think Ray Brown came back after a hiatus. Just curious! I tried to get the time table off the internet, but can't find it. I have a huge Peterson collection, and all I know is that the trio changed, and then, if I'm not mistaken, changed again. Who was with him during the Pablo years? Thanks for any info.
If I remember correctly Ed left first, just wanted to go a different direction… I think his last tour was spring 1965, Louis Hayes replaced him in the summer, Ray stayed for another year-ish I think he moved to Detroit after (Ed and Ray moved to Toronto at some point in the early 60s while playing with Oscar - they had a school up there). Ray left Detroit in like 1969 I wanna say when he moved to California to settle down a bit and do studio work. Sam Jones replaced him on Ray’s recommendation. Sam and Louis were in Cannonball’s band which was also going through changes (not sure when but some point after the sextet with Charles Lloyd and before the new band with Roy McCurdy… I’ll have to look into that), so Oscar ended up with Cannonball’s rhythm section. Then after some time Louis left and it was Bobby Durham as seen here. Then it went to Mraz and Ray Price, eventually NHOP, and so on. I think Louis Hayes also came back for a bit too. There’s a record that just came out over the last year or 2 called On A Clear Day (Mack ave) with NHOP and Louis. Ray was in Oscar’s trio again for a bit in the late 70s/80’s I think when they started playing again with the iteration of the drum less trio with Herb Ellis (originally Barney Kessel). And then in the 90s when it was Ray Herb and Oscar with either Jeff Hamilton Bobby Durham or Karriem Riggins (maybe?) on drums for the quartet. There’s a few records from live at the blue note from that era.
Graham, thanks for your reply! Wow,you sound super knowledgable about the history of the trios. Are you a writer? An historian? Are you an educator? I saw Ray in Los Angeles with Phineas Newborn at the Wilshire/Ebell Theatre in 1972. What is your favorite trio or season of Oscar's career? Are you equally knowledgeable about other jazz artists and the details of their careers? This is fascinating. I like reading Ted Gioia alot. @@grahamkozak2315 I think you might be another scholar like him!
Don't know about the guy, but the young lady is the British actress, dancer and singer known and very famous in italy at that time Minnie Minoprio; from Wikipedia: Born Virginia Anne Minoprio in Ware, Hertfordshire, Minoprio after graduating from the Arts Educational School, where she studied acting and singing, debuted at 15 in a stage version of "Cinderella".[1] Two years later moved in Italy where she starred in the revue Io e Margherita, alongside Walter Chiari.[1][2]At the same time she began a career as a jazz singer, recording a music album of dixieland and collaborating with other musicians;[1] just with a duet with another singer, Fred Bongusto, she obtained in 1971 her major discographic success, the song "Quando mi dici così", which ranked 20 in the Italian hit parade.[3] Her variegated career also includes radio, television, cinema and two novels, Il passaggio (1992) and Benvenuti a bordo (2007).
Great to see Sam Jones play. A legend.
Sam Jones, absolutely earth shattering on this, I check in with this video every few months to remind me where I’m at!
The Sam Jones' sound and lines ! Perfect !
The almighty god of youtube, may I see more videos of Sam Jones please!!
Perfection. Can't get a better piano trio than this.
This is so great. Bobby Durham, a magnificent drummer, and wonderful jazz singer.
That's why this song is called a "classic" and so are these fabulous musicians...
I was there and still remember the unique emotion of that night!
Sam Jones He’s Legend
OMG MOTHER OG GOD THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKILLER I NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION EVER I;M BLOWN AWAY WOW WOW
Wonderful stuff. And he takes his bow and sits down for the next piece. I'd be taking the rest of the week off.
I love Oscar with Ray and bobby, but SAM JONES? I just can't. It's an honor just to see Sam jones play
Oscar : le Génie à l'état pur !! J'ai eu la chance de lui serrer la main et d'avoir un autographe de son immense personne !! Merveilleux souvenir !

Does anyone know what crash cymbal is using Bobby Durham???
Who is that at the start? I'm guessing the dude is Oliver Reed...?
