Jeezus, I'm a musicians musician, I can play a LOT of instruments really well. God gave me the gift. But, when I watch and listen to this guy... just .. wow. He's a Treasure. I'd love to have been able to get into that guys brain and see how it works. The way he "thinks" about music fascinates me.

Many of the jazz greats, including Oscar, have said that Art Tatum was the greatest of all time. But Oscar has always been my favourite, he played so wonderfully, Nat Cole's influence and Tatum's influence show in Oscar's playing. But he wasn't trying to be anyone. There will never be another. ❤❤❤❤

This piece is called “I CAN’T GET STARTED” It was written in 1936 by Vernon Duke (music) and Ira Gershwin (lyrics). An American standard treated with exquisite experience of a lifetime employing every influence and era in jazz. What a masterclass in solo jazz piano this is!! Omnipotent Oscar!! Everything a musician needs to know and hear about mastery of an instrument and pure self expression free and bouyant! My biggest influence and love

At first I thought you were joking about the title then I disagreed with your title, then I realized you were not. I thought you were joking and saying, I can't get started describing how incredible this performance is. I disagreed because I thought your title should be I shouldn't get started trying to play the piano. Then, as I said, I realized that's the name of the song and yes indeed it's a masterclass. Thanks for sharing the name of the song.

It’s difficult to compare jazz pianists to classical pianists. In technique i could name a few that are superior, like Cziffra, Marc-Andre Hamelin (although he is a very unmusical pianist) or Hoffman, but musically there is no way to compare the two genres. What makes a great jazz musician, would make a mediocre classical musician, and vice versa. However, Peterson is surely still among the greatest pianists to ever live

A composer and arranger. When his father played a record of Art Tatum to him he thought he was 4 hands playing. He decided right there and then what he was going to aim to play as great as Tatum. To deal with become known and to face the racial prejudice in America at that time and he in Toronto. He decided if he was gonna come to America and tour he’s going to have to scare people, have to frighten people with his piano playing, so he would be respected and treated right. And that he did!!

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC, has many hours of Oscar Peterson, which they played when he passed away. There was one piece in particular that floored me. He was playing along in his usual masterful way, but about 3/4 of the way through the piece he just took off! It was unbelievable! How he transformed from merely great into godlike in a second. I'll never forget that as long as I live. He was one of the all-time greats.

It’s like that instrument was made for him and he was made for it. The connection he had with the piano was one of the all-time greatest relationships in music.

Oscar Peterson is to piano as Tommy Emmanuel is to guitar. Complete and total mastery of the instrument. Technique is transcended, allowing the artist a level of freedom of expression not available to mere mortals still struggling with technical details. Look no further than 4:18 to see what true instrument mastery looks like.
