@@davidferrara1105 I'm jealous. What an experience that must have been. We don't have anyone like these men today. They played for the love of it. You can see it on their faces when they perform. Yes, they made careers at it and had to be businessmen, and that's fine, that's part of the job. But today it seems like people put the career first and the playing second. And the product isn't the same.
@@andybaldman So true, their love for the music was primary, and it showed. All of these men are legends and I consider myself lucky to be able to listen to them now.
I was very fortunate to work with both Oscar and Joe, when I was Norman Granz's Pablo label manger in the UK during the '70s. A phenomenal experience. I had to attend all of these TV shows, and had a ball.
The conversation they have over the changes at the end before the last head was one of the best moments in jazz. The way they responded to each other just made me cry. God damn.
@@BrunoNeureiter Not necessarily like that, Peterson repeats just a few notes IMPROVISED by Joe Pass and then goes on his. What does guarantee a line is not imporvised usually is two (or more) instruments playing in unison; i mean, an arrangement, obviously
Peterson & Pass were impossibilities from the first time I heard them. But Pedersen & Drew were the foundation of the building. I think the 4 of them together is a privilege to all who get to hear them.
I, my young daughter, and my wife, were at the Royal Festival Hall, London, UK for this concert. It was the second time that we had seen the Oscar Peterson trio, 'live' and, believe me when I say, "the pleasure was ours. In his absence, and with the most respect. I always reffered to him as. "Ozzie."
That sounds like a great memory, !!and hey, do you mind if I ask when that was? I was never fortunate to get to see either one of these guys perform. 🎶🐦
a guitarist was into hendrix and rock saw joe pass and ella unrehearsed the comping and interplay was so overwhelming that he said he would have to spend light years to even come close to the mastery of that night. joe was one of my favorite guitarists.miss him a lot and the others too!
..probably not...kids talk about how jazz gots no melody,..it jus wheedle deedle dee...kids,..jus cause they cant focus and keep up past tiki tok memes...sad 🙁
Never ever will there ever be the likes of O P and his command of the 88's. Rhythm worked their tails off on this one. And what can be said about the guitar player -FANTASTIC, and thanks for the post
I was fortunate to see Joe Pass twice in the 80's when there was a jazz bar in the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. It was called Lytes, but I'm not sure if that is the correct spelling. I also saw Tal Farlow, Herb Ellis , and Kenny Burrell at Lytes. I once asked Kenny Burrell what he did during the week when he was in a city like Toronto or Chicago. His answer was, "practice". I also got to see Barney Kessel at the now-defunct Bourbon Street in Toronto. I feel so fortunate to have seen them live.
I saw beautifully talented people at the Royal Festival Hall in London. One thing that I remember, is when OP played a run on his piano and Joe pass, sticking his tongue Out, repeated it on his guitar. Brilliant professionals. A lovely evening out, amongst some of the finest musicians to have ever lived.
And Joe does all that without a pick just his fingers..and in the final go around he quotes “ I’m beginning to see the light” in between the Just Friends melody …whaaaat?
Imagine being the guys who got to play with these cats nightly and never really being known outside of the people.you worked with. Seems like it would be bittersweet, but at the end of the day, the people who knew you could play were the ones whose opinions actually mattered.
What can you say? Mind-blowing,? I love how Joe play his arrangement of Aint misbehaving , RU-vid video clip where Art introduces Joe.. His arrangement and comping style were genius. 🐦
I had the great fortune to work with the great runny Scott and martine drum and Andy on bass out in dubi what a great drummer and a great guy happy memories
Me too, I'm just getting up from tha floor and wiping my ass from that last chord. I got to see Joe Pass in Houston.. A little amp but HUGE CHORD'S. He was AWESOME.
