Hard to say. Mid 70s he was more athletic, dextrous. His left hand in the 70s was an absolute BEAST. 80s he developed his harmonic invention and seemed to play with more emotion and sensitivity.
I would say all of seventies and the first part of the 80's were when oscar was at his tops. When he had a stroke in 93, he lost some of his speed and was never at the top of his game after that.

@@eggieoffo2590 Both pieces of music may sound similar, mostly because of the tempo, but track 8 is correct and it´s not "Cakewalk". Here you can compare: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jhVK19MyvJM.html Thanks for your help! ☺
Wow! Are these guys tight, or what? OP's fingers dance on the ivories and NHOP's is killing the bass. Joe pass making the guitar sing. I noticed no mistakes and every one of these guys comes in on cue. A pleasure to watch and listen :)
Oscar Peterson: "See? You don't need more than 10 fingers for 88 keys!" NHØP: "Wait until you see what I do with them on four strings!" Joe Pass: "A-one, a-two, a-one-two-three-four"
This is the most perfect music ever produced in the history of mankind, three greatest of all time and an excellent drummer (just imagine accompanying these guys), personally I prefer Art Barkley
