You may not be but you don't need to be. You aren't the best at drinking water, but you still do that don't you? You also aren't the best on the planet at paying attention to your surroundings: are you going to give up on that, too? You aren't the best in the world at whatever you do for work but you certainly won't stop doing that. This comment sounds kind of condescending but I mean to encourage and I hope the message comes across.
I started working on Pass’s amazing solo version of this tune from Virtuoso 4 tonight, and just getting the first 8 bars mostly down felt amazing. It’s a small step, but I think taking these things that give you that feeling and just touching a little piece of them really tips the motivation scales in a positive direction - I’d be playing until I pass out now if I didn’t have to work in the morning!
I am Professor of Music, I teach all of my students about the 3 H's of Jazz, how do teach the connection between Oscar's "hands" , "head" and "heart"? I saw OP in College live for 1st time in Chicago....I actually Hyperventilated 1 hour into the concert, and had to walk out....lol, I was totally overwhelmed !!! I BELIEVE GOD......What a GIFT....been listening to Oscar for since 1979, I am still at not there , lol.....I need more GOD....Lessons cant teach that........God Blessed Oscar...what can we learn about the HEART of Music ?
Wow what a marvelous piano player I haven't heard him play piano in a very long time. He is supremely talented god blessed him with a very special gift.❤
How happy a piano must be to be played with panache, elegance and sublime clarity ! I've surprised myself by spontaneously applauding after the last note!
OMG. Just omg lol. He is just insane ! There are layersss of skill there, his touch is immaculate and his knowledge just beautiful. What an accomplishment, an incredible man.
This dude is incredible. A complete master. Theres no other words......but who. In the hell. Had the dumbass in them to dislike this heavenly display of musical ability. Im just dissapointed in the human race right now. How can you not enjoy this eargasm that this man put us through?
Had a couple of albums of Mr Petterson when I was young, I listened to them all the time, then I got bored!!! Now listening to him again after all those years makes me feel nostalgic❤
@@tedbloh Simply slow the playback speed in the settings option and you can hear and see how Oscar plays that section (and others, of course). Then you can practice it yourself (and others, of course) . It's a free fingering lesson!
@@jonathangreenberg2362 Back in the 1970s, my gran have me an old radiogram which had four playing speeds - 78, 45, 33 and a third, and the obsolete 16 and seven eighths! The beauty of the 16 rpm setting was that, being almost exactly half of 33, I could play L.P.s at half speed so the key was the same, albeit down an octave. I learned countless tunes that way!
I see only one piano player, but I would take oath that i am hearing two piano players. Sorry that I spoke in error. OP is at the piano; the expert is at the keyboard. Oscar has been my musical hero since 1962. RIP Oscar. You are still alive in my ears.
When you flip to 184 in the sixth edition real book you will find another reason why this is so good. Such amazing feel! Writing cant capture what he is doing here!
May I recommend Gene Lees' book: 'The Will To Swing' about Oscar Peterson? It gives an in-depth portrait of his life and portrays his will always to perform at his peak, with all deserved acclaim and notwithstanding the criticisms about his playing.
I believe there are ten gods of jazz music. Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Wes Montgomery, Art Blakey, Duke Ellington, Coleman Hawkins, Thelonius Monk, Dizzie Gillespie, and Bill Evens. Sue me if you want. These are my Mount Rushmore of Jazz.
t4fnut yeah I know 😂 but there’s so many otherworldly jazz artists that deserve to be up there, but not everybody gets to have a seat, kinda like a lottery if you will.
Someone please point an AC at this poor man, he's clearly heating up from all the fiery notes. Seriously tho he was sweatin beads wth guys is this how you treat a legend
M GM Music someone could have accidentally push the down button and not realized it, no one in a right mind would purposely hit the down button . This is the master of all Masters.
