Oscar Peterson The Quartet featuring Joe Pass 

So perfectly said!

Must be referring to how people treated black people back then

Word

Such passion and fire in a world drowning in his 😓 😢😅!!!!!!!

yeahhhh

true. people nowadays dont know how great this is... i mean the greatest.

My thoughts as well, so completely off the charts that every bit of so called "talent" in the music world today couldn't hold a candle to Oscar, seriously, but then add the other three in.

that's like your opinion man. But yeah, attentive practice and retrospection of what you are doing while making music are the way. @@wyliestivers2634

And now we have a new generation of guitar geniuses like Matteo Mancuso. We can’t forget the past but we must honour the future.

“How can someone be so ridiculously good”. ?? Countless hours after hour of hard work, learning, listening and practicing, year after year after year! And when it comes to people like Oscar & Joe, that special “touch from above” that sets them apart from the other 99% of great musicians. And while most guitar & piano teachers argue against the idea of a “special touch from above”, as a guitarist myself I can say over the last 50+ years, I’ve seen and played with a few people that also had that touch. It’s like when the 4 year old child sits down at a piano, and just starts playing it, having never before even touched it. These few gifted people are at a level of playing, that 99% of people will never attain, no matter how much they play and practice! Don’t get me wrong, that’s NOT to say guys like Oscar & Joe didn’t have to work hard to get where they’re at. It’s just to say they have that ability to reach a higher proficiency than others, IF they put their effort into it.

Top o their game!!

I know! Such beautiful tone, too. Reminds me a bit of Gary Peacock.

Dave Young, I think.

😊

@@anthonychristie7781 Yes it is. Great Toronto sessionplayer. Everybody who comes to town wants him. Has a day job as a carpenter!

@@anthonychristie7781 Yes. Great Toronto session player.

Have that exact same feeling.

I was thinking the exact same thing. The way that Joe Pass's fingers float over the fretboard with grace like a butterfly it is truly magnificient.

That's Now Just the point When you are Amidst between those guys who are not just playing the tunes no no What they are doing is being the music and totally in control of medium Jazz music and when you or I hear this I get A kick from it can't keep my feet still start tapping the beat Hey you and when I am in the right mood which is usually between 9 pm till deep in the night and if the moon is giving me her blessing then sometimes wonderful things can happen! I want to give you an extremely important advice from now on! EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PICK UP YOUR GUITAR ALWAYS AND YOU MUST TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY AS YOU WELL KNOW NOBODY HAS 365 DAYS GOOD DAYS SOME DAYS YOU MAY BE HAVING THE MUZE AND SINCE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR PUSH THE RECORD BUTTON OF THE VOICE RECORDER ON YOUR SMARTPHONE MY MOTHER USED TO BE A FANTASTIC PIANISTE THE SWEETHEART TOUGHT ME WRITE AND READ NOTES AT THE age of 6 and she said If you want to kill two birds with one stone Record everything you play since No Shot Is absolutely a missed shot apart from learning from your mistakes it's 100 % certain that you catch these genius moments which you or I so seldom have

You should listen to Oscar peterson and Herb Ellis with A Contrabass player called Ray in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw full concert in 1957 with a very good looking young Oscar peterson and at the end there's a vocal surprise

Me too😅

How often does he play, do you know what nights ? I’d love to go see him

Asiera exacto semPre igual,y los precios eraN esos ,ibamos cada 15 dias a escucharlo lo conte hace un rato, gracias por corroborar mi palabras DANTES A GREAT PLACE TO LISEN ,JAZZ.

EN EL 1987 TENIA UN CONSERVATORIO DONDE ENSEÑABA AHY SE RECIBIO UN JOVEN HIJO DE UNOS AMIGOS,JOE FUE UNA GRAN PERSONA,Y UN EXCELENTE MUSICO,ME GUSTO MUCHO SU RESPUESTA .GRACIAS

Thank God no one on stage was hot. Who knows what a fan might have done...

I don’t know, his picking’s pretty fancy.

Classical pianists don’t improvise. Just play what is written.

@@gitaaa7740 Tell that to Mozart.

@@adamedmour9704 Mozart would improvise? On what piece?

Amen! In my humble opinion, Joe Pass is one of very few that could match Oscar's virtuosity! Just sayin'!

Lol? Joe Pass is the greatest jazz guitarist of all time... In my opinion anyway 🙃

Cojones of steel es lo mejor que le puede pasar al bilingüismo

@@hombrepollo Beats huevos of steel anyway. That would just be distracting!

I played with Herb Ellis and he told me that he thought Joe was the greatest Jazz guitarist.

What other guitarist are you talking about, Barney Kessel ? ?

@@TheBladepolisher JOE PASS OF COURSE, THE ONE WHO PLAYS WITH OSCAR PETERON IN THIS VIDEO! DID`T YOU SEE HIM?

Dave Young, I think

The sound is good, but I think Joe is a bit out of the mix at times and I struggled to hear all his lines. Oscar was a force, beyond mortal, such an amazing band!

You are so right.

What an awesome idea!! Perhaps, all three of them are jamming now for all we know; I hope so!!

I think it'll last a lot longer than that ;)

Preach the word my good friend, take it in Peterson/Pass you wont find ANY greater!!!!

I saw Joe and Oscar together live in the seventies in the "Konzertaula Kamen" near Dortmund in Germany. It was one of some highlights in my life. OUTSTANDING!!!

Belinda, you sound versatile! I play jazz/fusion drums, conga, timbales, lots o percussion; would like you in my band! Or I'll join yours!

@@bradlyscotunes9156 WIOW! How cool, thank you SO SO MUCH. I problem; l just had a total left hand re-construction! 😫 But l would LOVE TOO!’ My Friend, keep goin ABSOLUTELY; & l’d absolutely jam with you! I hope that’s a YES! Very very interested!! 🎹👊🏾👍🏽⚡️p.s it takes 6-8 weeks! 😡😫✨

IF YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL JAZZ PLAYERS FROM THE 21ST CENTURY I THINK PAT METHENY IS THE MOST INNOVATING GUITAR PLAYER IN EXISTENCE

A decision you will never regret. Sublime!👍🇨🇦

The greatest !

I disagree, I think he was the greatest, and that includes Mozart and the like.

That’s about like saying wilt chamberlain was one of the greatest basketball players ever!

Technique, harmonic invention, improvisation you're right NOBODY equals Art. But nobody, nobody swings like Oscar. Oscar's light touch and flowing lines have no equal. Can't really compare the two they are very different.

As great as Im sure he would have thought Oscar's solo was, Art Tatum is quoted as having said,"when Im through with it, you can have it, " in reference to other pianists who dared to think they could occupy the same rarefied air as him. 🤣🤣 All joking aside, Im sure there would have been mutual appreciation and respect. Although Im still not sure if Art Tatum truly believed that he ever had any peers.

Yep you young fellers always seem to forget Art Tatum & Wes Montgomery !!

The bass took it´s rightful place -- great playing, great mixing, and Oscar conducts.

If you are I am a very very close second. I 'discovered' Oscar Peterson just in the last 7 days max, no more than 10 days ago. As I write this it is 11/23/21. So when I come back to this or maybe the future me does I'll always remember how late in life I found OP. And now I cant get enough of OP and Joe Pass.

@@ThunderAppeal Don't worry, there will be more coming after - perhaps not yet born - who will be saying that some time in the future. I used to watch Oscar Peterson's show on the BBC when I was a teenager and I had already discovered Art Tatum by then! It helps to have parents with cultivated tastes. Joe Pass came a little later. I am always saddened to think of the 14 years Joe Pass lost to heroin at the beginning of his career; perhaps his playing was so good because he was always trying to make up for lost time but it was a sad waste all the same.

..oh, no, there will be more who came along later to find this; it is timeless!

HE WAS UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THE CROWD AND ALWAYS KEPT HIS POSTURE MAKING FUNNY JOKES AS HE DID IN SATIN DOLL JUST TO SHAKE EM UP PLAYING RUBBISH FOR A SEC TO CHECK IF THEY PAY ATTENTION EVERINE LAUGHED

AdrianK: YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I ‘m broken at the moment, l miss sittin with my DAD💔,havin a whiskey with him & listening to the GREATS. My DAD💔 & Mum met thro his jazz club that he started. There all gone now. I like to think DAD & my Godfather EUGENE was such a sweetheart. And a big man!! He asked me to play something ( on my beautiful for real 1963 Strat. Not a jazz players pick! There was one; but l forget who it was. 🙄 Anyhoo, l started to play ‘Take 5’ ; he replied ‘ not that, just play. Which l did. One of the best ‘comments’ ever, You’re too flashy for me! ‘ 😂😂😂😂 l swear, when l gave him the guitar, he said this is like too small’. 😅 He couldn’t play it coz his fingers were so long & HUMUNGUS. A beautiful man. In his 90s, & still playing. So, that era of his, it’s over. Thank God l was so privileged. 🥰Not into Trad, Or fusion. Same with me!! My pianos named ‘OSCAR’!!! My 1st gig DAD💔took me to see Dave Brubeck; l was 3 years old. I remember that gig. Of course, not all of it! 🎹🎸😃

"truly kind souls." you don't know that. the rest is accurate.
