Did any of you noticed that Oscar played with just one hand? He has stroke and he couldn't play with the left hand again. Not withstanding, he still sounded so good
one of the best moment of my life so far...my group got to play a full concert with Oliver! best part of it all...impromptu jam session before the actual concert, FOR the crowd! totally spontaneous, we were just throwing heads around, joking about, warming up, and all of a sudden we all lock into one tune, "There Will Never Be Another You"...i got to take the first solo including the 2 bar break break. Having a musician like Oliver comping behind your solo, almost nothing is comparable!
I've probably watched this video more than 25 times. I wish that Mr. Peterson and Mr. Jones had recorded more duets.....the master and his student. Awesome!!!
oscar will be and will stay oscar....but this duet is amazing. only with his right hand, he seems to play with 4...he's stay the best one in world....witn art and michel P
Oscar is the best I was privileged enough to spend the afternoon sound mixing and learning from him. He is hands down a wonderful man and an amazing artist.
thanks for post from school to the present oscars been a part of my life i want to cry when i see this clip but a smile wins when i think of the joy he brought to me. niels too .ray browns fabulous dep. three giants gone/ keep.swinging oliver
(translation) Thank you very much! Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a huge honour. I must say that, all my life, I was inspired by this gentleman here. One of my songs, even if it's Oscar who wrote it, I think I made it more than him! I would like to have the money that he did! Ladies and Gentleman, Hymn to Freedom.
No, one papa, one bad student. I'm firstly talking about "contenant" and not "contenu".., French words that should exist in English. Basic Grec thinking. Secondly, another day...
Sure, I can help. I will first write what Oliver Jones says in French: ''Merci beaucoup! Mesdames et Messieurs, c'est un grand honneur. Il faut dire que, toute ma vie, j'ai eu l'inspiration grâce à ce monsieur là! Une de mes pièces que, même si c'est Oscar que lui l'a écrit, je pense que j'en ai fait plus que lui! J'aimerais bien ça avoir l'argent qu'il avait fait. Mesdames et Messieurs, Hymn to Freedom.''
Nice... I didn't realize Jones was the neighbor and student of Peterson. It all make sense ... the call and response ...student making the lesson of the teacher his own...
In my opinion, every musician expresses his feelings when playing music, if you like someone's music or not depends on how much you like the feelings they're expressing through the music. There isn't a #1 piano player, you can only say that when you're looking at their technique or something, because there are rules for it but I think you should be listening to music and not watch the technique.
please could we stop putting jazz musicians on a scale,like best pianist on earth, this music is not a race...each one has something to say,and play his stuff..the best he can.this is about love and share,let them out of cotations agencies...please.
Greatest of the great. What's wrong with the video mix? It's terrible for a musician to watch. Special effects . ADS inspired I guess. The camera should be just behind the player and on the keys. Jesus we don't want to see their backs and heads, And blended videos of the 2 pianos . We want to see their hands . OK it improved just over 1/2 way through
I am just wondering as to why Oscar is having such a hard time with his right hand. I know old age could be the main factor but, Was there maybe another stroke involved? or some other health issue ?
