    YouTube is a gift. To think I can watch these legendary performances decades after they unfolded. Amazing

    I was born in 1965. I can't remember how old I was but this was the music i could hear on the radio at night when, being put to bed by my mom, i was falling asleep. The magic this music created around me is unforgettable. In fact, it found its way to my soul, to the inner child so, each time I listen to it, I'm there, in my childhood, protected and loved. I thank you for this music! 🤗❤

    They'll still be playing this 1,000 yrs from now and wondering how all that talent got here.
  • Oscar Peterson is off the chain. Such precision, and deliberate musical ideas. Just great. I love listening to him.

    When I was born , in 62 , they played for me as I was a baby. My parents did this to me. My parents danced in the 50ties on LIVE Louis Armstrong, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, such and more, in Amsterdam. So. lovely to y'all !

    Ed Thigpen transitions from brushes to sticks in such style at 0:58 !
  • That Oscar Peterson smile while he plays... like he's hearing all of the musical punch lines before we do. I love hearing and watching him play!
  • @ianskeggs5294
    In fact that line “ it doesn’t get get better than this “ should be a jazz song
  • @lourak613
    Everything Oscar does is in incredibly good taste. Never, never is it merely for the sake of displaying virtuosity.
  • I love that the mics for the instruments faintly pick up Oscar's scatting while he plays. I saw an interview with him a few years ago and he was asked why he never sang. He pulled the mic close and answered. "I'll sing a bit for you and you'll understand." He played and started singing. He sounded EXACTLY like Nat King Cole. He chuckled when he finished. "See? It's already been done." How could you not love that man?

  • Pianists of today still aspire to play as beautifully as Oscar. So glad this is preserved to enjoy 57 years later
