Enjoying this 38 years later in 2024

I love, and have always loved Oscar, a wonderful musician and such a graceful human being. Beautiful, along with Niels, a genius brother for Oscar P. Hearts of gold!💛

Потрясающе.Божественно.Получаешь истинное наслаждение.

the kind of music that humanity should send into space

I love the moment about 53:08 when NHOP touches his bow tie, thinking, "ok, here we go!"

I remember hearing Oscar Peterson when I was maybe 10 or 11 and just being amazed. I used to stop and play and rewind a million times to figure out what the hell he was doing! I probably spent days locked in my bedroom haha only coming out for chips and cookies and soda.

Always greatful for this priceless gift, Thanks Oscar

So Perfect ♥

Apart from the breathtaking performance in general, three things stand out: his recognisable classical training (including tedious scale exercises), his wonderful phrasing (in melody and harmony), and his sound on this marvellous Bösendorfer grand piano. Bless you, O.P. (thank you for sharing).

Pay tribute to Nat Cole, but especially, to Oscar Peterson, an extraordinary and complex performer, now living in these fine recording ! Thanks for these remembrances of the sound of Oscar's voice and his magnanamous stylings and compositions !

Thanks for posting this whole concert! I wish more people would post full tapes and not just single tune excerpts!

What a wonderful trio. I'm lucky to have seen Oscar on 4 occasions, the first time was in Belfast in 1963. The last time was at the Barbican Center. What a joy to hear. Need I say any more.

What a charmingly intelligent, and articulate man. It is so much more pleasurable feeling awe for talent of this level, when the human underneath it comes across as so deserving of the admiration.

This is so incredible Good.. NHÖP ❤

i so love it when Oscar does the Shout on the piano, here(in the finale), and elsewhere, in his career. Hallelujah!! Praise the Lord, Jesus!!!

Who the heck can be that humble, and yet be so great?

Kind of stumbled upon this. What a delicious package of supreme talent! A beautiful way to celebrate Christmas Eve!!! The gifts this amazing trio gives is priceless and will live for ever.

I've watched this video 4 times in less than a week and I still can't believe how talented Oscar and Niels were

What a class act. Oscar is the man, end of story.

Oscar was the guvner niels great but also people forget Martin drew a good friend a great drummer I had the pleasure of working with Martin runny Scott Andy on bass a real pleasure in 93 in dubai what a roast up

It's 2024 and this man amazing.

Auch 2024 bleibt der Zauber. Wunderschön.

The first CD we had at home when we bought a CD player in 1990ish was Tristeza, by Oscar Peterson. l was about 9 years old and had no idea about music, jazz or anything, but l was so attracted to his piano playing. It brought me lots of joy and l had no idea who he was.. Thanks Oscar!

I cant imagine getting to hear this kind of playing in person , people really have no idea how special it is

Wow. I never heard those arrangements of Satin Doll & Take The A-Train before, and the transition from Lush Life to Caravan is INSANE. Excellent concert! Thanks so much for posting this marvel.

Canadian, Danish and English (mix trio) of truly outstanding Jazz Artists. Oscar is just amazing! Sorely missed. Cheers!

my zwo little boys grow up on music like this. no matter what they do with their lives, this music will enrich them on theor journey. thx op! ❤️

Always magical

This man played with the best- Lester Young, Teddy Wilson, Duke Ellington, et. al. He was in the Norman Granz shows; it followed that he approached his art with a degree of intensity.

Outstanding!!! 🙏🏽

Niels a virtuoso bassist, Oscar Peterson was and is still one of the best jazz pianists of the 20th century. His technique wow.

While there's no doubt about Mr. Petersons fingers on what is probably a Bosendorfer piano. Can we all give it up for that bass player and the drummer

Love Ballad❤心都跟著融化了!

さすが、オスカーピータンソン!!テクニックあるピアノ🎹の音色、素晴らしい世界。

Neils Pedersen's quote of "Things Ain't the Way they Used to Be" on Satin Doll is priceless.

… so beautiful … the greatest of all time …❤

Великолепно!

I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for this footage. God bless you!

It’s amazing to see musicians who, despite being able to show off the entire gig for validation brownie points, can see almost all the beauty in music is always only a few steps away from first premises, imo all the momentum of truly memorable beauty & deeper felt meaningfulness in music is found in/catalyzed through the realm of true melodic simplicity. The rhythm is what wraps it together, given it has a directional foundation underneath.

The combination of Oscar Pederson , playing a music called jazz, a title like most that makes it only accessible to “jazz” fans limits its broad scope to the world because its music for the masses; coupled with a true phenomenon, Niels Pedersen , the likes that my never be seen again in not only his technical prowess but sense of time and then there his inner feeling for pure music; makes these two people to be never be forgotten butto be remembered for their love making music. A recording of Caravan is out of this world .....

👏🏾👏🏾

Carnival mi tema favorito 😍

Genius!

We know OP never fished as well as he played the piano. If he did, the ocean would be empty.

excellent concert, special mention for love ballad which is (for me) one of the best version Oscar has played live! but it seems to me that some titles are missing from this concert! like soft wind .. in any case, thank you for sharing, it's been a long time since I wanted to review this concert that I had seen on television .

My youngest brother loves Jazz and he once asked how can can one get a very good jazz pianist and I said I do not know. His answer was take Monk. Powell and Oscar and throw in a test tube and mix them and I looked at him and just kept quiet. I asked him and Art Art Tatum and he said Oscar already is Art. And that is when I stopped discussing jazz with him

the ballad he plays after satin doll is called “lady of the lavender mist” 40:51

thanks for the upload!!!!!!

thanks brother

Beaultiful!

7:45 - Oscar talks about fly fishing

Superb... thumbs up. Hats off....

J'en pleure de beauté !

Joy!

He makes a very interesting point at @20:10 that I had never considered

Какой счастливый человек!

29:55 'Carnival' Didn't know this song although it sounds familiar. Then at 31:57 ... love the 'schwung' that is given to the theme, pretty amazing, that rythm.

Ya know, I love Oscar Peterson, and all his works. But what he does on piano with his left hand always leaves me in meltdown. This intro to Caravan (and the rest of the song of course) is a prime example of that amazing left hand of his. Bet the piano needed a cigarette afterwards. Also, that was a stunningly beautiful solo by NHOP. Left me breathless!

Clasicaso, no hay más nada que decir

Luca Brassi plays drums

26:47

Art Tatum. He admired Art and Nat King Cole

49:00

Is this performance available anywhere as a cd, dvd or on vinyl? It is phenomenal!

Is there a song title link so i can spotify the tune at 17:10? Gorgeous. Thanks,

'creo que la version del 2 de rachmaninov por la japonesa juka wang o como se llame, es la mejor de todas las que escuche en mi vida

Wish they showed his hands at 14:55 because what the H is that ...!?

Is that Bill Murray on bass?

Эх ХХХ хз

A stunning performance and I did not need my defibrillator !
