Masterpiece by off the planet staggering talent from all three. I love to imagine OP jamming with Bach, up there past the clouds where music is born.

I dont think ive seen as calm a performance as this from Oscar. My favourite parts of his playing are always when he doesn't rip out his lightening speed licks but instead just plays around the melody. He was a unique soul and it shines through his playing the most when he takes his sweet time.

@nemo227 5 жыл бұрын

Sometimes it's more difficult to play slowly. Your brain operates very quickly by suggesting the next note or phrase from what it "hears" before; one note suggests another, one phrase suggests another, one rhythm change/anomaly calls for the next. That's been my experience. I just try to let my conscious mind get in the background and let the music speak.

I got into Oscar’s music by inheriting some vinyls of my late father - about 40 years ago, while dad was still alive, but gave away his small jazz collection & focussed on classical music (primarily Bach). Most likely this is how Bach would play today - just great music.

Among modern inventors of melody, Oscar Peterson has no rival. That is because he entered the scene at a time when melodic invention was the principal improvisatory paradigm. When Art Tatum, who was the superior musician overall, matured as an artist, the melodic paradigm in jazz had not yet taken shape. Both piano masters are beyond compare.
