Oscar Peterson Trio - The Berlin Concert - Nigerian Marketplace 

What a beautiful, beautiful song, full of emotions; yearning and yet also has an undertow of joy... That 'solo' bass riff....is pure poetry.

When three people with such gifted talent as we hear here perform, it lulls us into a false sense of..." I could play like that". That's the problem with genius musicians... they make even the most complex peice look easy. But hey... we need brilliance like this to aspire to.❤

When I went to Yoshi's club to hear Mr Peterson, the maitre'd said, "OH I am so sorry. The only table left is by the piano." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got winked at and he sings and hums all the notes he plays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!My man Oscar....We all love you wherever you are.

Oscar must have been proud when he finished writing this masterpiece.

Y´all know the feelin of a tune flashing your soul when you listen it the first time.. To me this is one of the most impressive jazz themes ever written.

So dreamy!! Then da funk sets in!!!!!!How we love this trio!!

...and on top of all Nils Henning Oersted Pedersen's "singing" bass... Insane music, LOVE it!

This my favorite Oscar piece.... just amazing!!

One of the greatest jazz songs

2:34 is simply fantastic! Just the best groove.

I come back here once every few months, I can't believe this is my first comment. Guess that's what I get for always using RU-vid on my phone. This piece is class and the performance here especially is legendary. Forever grateful to Oscar Peterson for this.

THE BEST OF NHOP.. Great Basist!!

this crescendo is a monument in the history of Jazz!!!

Saw them perform this in March 1977 on a UK Tour. My favourite Oscar Peterson Tune, the beautiful melody at the beginning and then it just rocks!

Amazing performance! Just a perfect chemistry in a bamd!

absolute legend. this track is a masterpiece

middle part of this masterpiece makes me feel just like I'm in nigerian marketplace. Real masterpiece.

This song - Nigerian Marketplace - shows off the perfect foundation for Oscar. Niels and Martin Drew are the best. Use this for classroom instruction on what it means to play bass or drums in a jazz trio.

So awesome to hear Oscar playing to a straight beat. So modernly sounding arrangement from him! Awesome.

Holly shit ! Never heard this version before ! That was insane. Will probably need to go to the record store and get a new gem for my collection.

Best line-up

The Paganini of the piano. I don't care how many people say it's Art Tatum. To me, it's Oscar!

Master of masters.

I just love this track :)!!

Martin Drew...one of mt favorite drummers. Miss him when I tour the UK!!!!!

Je ne m'en lasse pas, c'est sublime!

I saw the performance of his complete Africa Suite in Toronto, just before Covid. It was incredible.

First time seeing this. Love O.P. and N.P. This is absolutely phenomenal!!!

Immenso, favoloso e meraviglioso. Un trio strepitoso di artisti sublimi. Non ci sono parole, non ci sono aggettivi niente che possa far veramente capire la grandezza di questi straordinari musicisti. Mi ritengo una persona fortunata per il semplice fatto di aver conosciuto la loro opera

What kind of performance of these 3 jazz masters.

Композиция--попытка совместить традиционный стиль с элементами джаз-рока..Классно!Легендарный Оскар Питерсон все равно остался верен своему классическому стилю...

ベースがたまらん

Can someone tell me where I can find more stuff that sounds like this?

this is quite different to the version on the record, both sublime though. When will the complete suit be performed again?

What a marvelous performance. What year??

I prefered the Ed Thigpin Ray Brown line up.

Oscar Peterson is dead, God rest his soul. Lay off!! He would have wanted people to simply enjoy his music, no matter how they came upon it. You think he was a miserly musician? Sheesh...
