Just caught up to this exceptional pianist when with the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra and have been tracking Dan since then. So rhythmic and on target. Great trio as well.
How to turn a rather banal kind of song into an absolutely sublimely driven masterpiece of Jazz improvisation/interpretation. Well.....here it is! This is an majestic Jazz trio of the highest order! Thanks Dan & his men! And also my thanks you this fantastic upload.
Sam Ferguson The original tune was composed by the Austrian/Hungarian composer Frans Lehár. He’s mostly known for his very popular “sugary” -Operettas- (from the end 1800’s into the1900’s), which became the equivalent in America as -Musicals-, which you would surely know Sam. His most popular operetta btw was “The Merry Widow”. But what Dan and his sidemen accomplish here is truly remarkable. Good talking too you, Sam. Enjoy & Cheers!
I'm hearing a little Wynton Kelly too. And if you want to hear Oscar playing the same tune, here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_cLQ6fdEWv0.html
Everything so sophisticated and that short-trousered, like going to the beach foto goof, taking footage of one the best piano man...isn't there anybody to dress that ignorant properly?? It spoils the magic of his performance, like ketchup on Italian cuisine
