Deux géants magnifiques ! ..J'ai eu la chance d'être dans une soirée club au club latitude de Val d'isere , en compagnie de Michel Legrand , un homme très gentil en plus ! j'accompagnais Rhoda Scott a la batterie...superbe souvenir en 1992 .

I cannot stop watching this !

Jazz doesn't get any better than this.

🎶Quel DUO sensationnel ❤🎹🎶

pure class.the look on michels face when oscars playing says it all.i sense real love between everybody here.n.h.o.p my hero.our own mighty world class martin drew.wonderful stuff.

Two geniuses displaying unbelievable talent all at once. This one of Legrand best and prettiest songs and no two could ever do it better. RIP both of you and know you are gone but not forgotten.

Just noticed the way that Michel Legrand is looking at Oscar Peterson like an admiring puppy ! Fantastic - the admiration of one world class musician for another !

What a video, wow. I'll treasure this forever. RIP MASTERS (in big letters) and thank you for leaving this to us who still love and appreciate what you did.

Wow Oscar Peterson is actually playing phrases from umbrellas of Cherbourg amazing

GENIO MUSICAL. UN DELEITE REGALO PARA NUESTRA VIDA. GRACIAS DON MICHEL LEGRAND.

they sure dnt do them like this anymore...its simply a magical journey this music...love it

Michel showed his awesome talent here with wonderful improvisations.

Le regard admiratif de Michel sur Oscar !!!!

I've always admired Legrand's genius as a composer, but am slightly embarrassed to admit that I had no idea his piano chops - JAZZ piano chops - were at this level. Playing with Peterson, and holding his own. Respect.

Absolutely the world has lost both these genius musicians, but you can hear and sense the joy and enthusiasm they have for their music and sense of enjoyment of their joint unmatchable performance.

have ADORED Michel LeGrand since I first heard Brian's Song and Summer of '42 soundtracks in the 70s as a teenager.... saw him play with the Charlotte Symphony in 1986 & sat there with tears in my eyes, it was so moving and beautiful... Je t'aime, Michel.... j'espere que vous dormez bien maintenant.

Two of the greatest pianists ever - BUT, Niels-Henning went BEAST MODE on that bass solo!!!

It's 2 Musical giants who truly appreciate One another.....

You can tell Michel Legrand is absolutely blown away when Oscar starts to play. Oscar completely transcends the music.

Nice to see a bunch of musicians just playing and enjoying themselves...no funny faces ...no funny dress ...just straight talent and love of what they are doing.

Michel etOscar, et NHOP , 3 géants! merci pour tant de cadeaux! rest in peace everybody...

This is what makes KZfaq great! Wonderful to listen to the music but to see them play together does add to the appreciation - wow, they really just did that! Put them together and Watch What Happens (couldn't resist).

WOW!! Union of two geniuses, feel like I died and went to heaven,

Quel magnifique et magique trio de musiciens qui visiblement prennent du bon temps. C’est un grand moment de musique jazz

Je suis triste aujourd'hui nous venons de perdre Michel Legrand, un immense artiste.

The GREATEST EVER playing one of his compositions

it's like watching and hearing something approaching a miracle...that level of brilliance and beauty must be G-d - given

absolutely astonishing. There are times during this that I cannot help but giggle and laugh in admiration at the talent on show. Thank you all gentlemen !

BENDICIONES PARA SU FAMILIA. UN ABRAZO DESDE CHILE.

Seriously...holy shit! They're all unbelievable!

Beyond Awesomeness Wonderful 🎶💕🎶💕🎹💗🎼🏄🥇🥂

I remember seeing this on TV in the UK some years after it had first been broadcast. Just gorgeous. Of the three, Oscar Peterson is the only one I ever heard live, also in 1984. Love the way composer of the tune Michel Legrand looks over in awe at what Oscar Peterson does with the piece. Great to see and thanks for posting this.

Your compositions and your playing have made my heart sing since I was a 5yo child. My parents were fans especially my Dad, thanks to them. Thank you Michel. RIP

Bravo Michel ! Superbe Oscar.......merci Claude !

Magnificent artistry all around.

This is a classic performance by 2 masters of the piano. We should also make a strong note that recognizes the superb talents of bassist Niels Henning Orsted Pederson and drummer Martin Drew who along with Joe Pass made some very outstanding performances with Oscar. Thank you for sharing.

I may have said it before, but the frisson I always feel when Legrand picks up from Peterson's elegant meditation and the rhythm section comes in simply divine. Someone previously asked, 'is this what Heaven is like'? I very much hope so.

EXCELENTE.....3 MESTRES IMORTAIS NO MELHOR PIANO DO MUNDO..BRAVO BRAVÍSSIMO....PARA ASSISTIR MILHARES DE VEZES... abs. Eduardo Jorge Rio de Janeiro Brasil

Deux grands parmi les grands et non seulement ça, un duo piano Legrand/Peterson de qualité ... !! Superbe Jazz-Blues.. !!!!

What a blessing to have this playing! That touch is unforgettable!

Superb conversation they’ve got! Great musicians! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Two giants on the stage at the same time. Will we ever see the likes of them again?

Looking thru the list of comments its so nice to see that there are people like me who appreciate the talent of these two pianists...not forgetting the bass and drums that provide the vehicle for lead instruments to ride on....just be yourself Jim Paterson i like your comment.....

Michel Legrand forever !

*Chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui meurent, il y a des gens géniaux...* *Heureusement, chaque jour dans le monde, parmi les gens qui naissent, il y aura aussi des gens géniaux...* 😍

The look on Michel's face at 1:44 speaks volumes. Wonderful stuff all round.

I hope this is what heaven is like.

Two fantastic piano musicians from two different countries, playing perfectly together and really enjoying their time together. I love both of them. SYLVIA! FL 10 19 2020

Four of the best ones in their art and skills!

I like it so much....the eyes and asking great Oscar and great Michel that did all for good music

Dos pianistas maravillosos, pero Michel es además un maravilloso compositor.

Two legends

Went to a concert in Mpls, Mn . years ago , VERY large sell out at Orchestra Hall in Downtown Mpls. Worried I would not get a seat . The ushers set up some chairs on the STAGE ! Well never to forget concert , just feet from Oscar & seeing the keyboard ! Looking out into the audiance & here I am Right next to Mr. Oscar Peterson ! ! !

pffffffff Fantastique!!!!! Un grand moment!! Des grosses pointures!!!

Playing with Oscar was like a suicide mission for another pianist. It took a lot of courage - so kudos to Legrand.

D'abord, première écoute, quelle virtuosité ! Mais aussi quelle construction sous-jacente derrière tout ça… Et que de talents ! Et de complicité aussi. Just great jazz !

Oscar Peterson. Gênio.

Je tombe par hasard sur cette vidéo avec ces 2 incroyables pianistes

Omg, Oscar Peterson followed Michel Legrand with such precision @ touching! I didn't even notice when he did start to play.

The Genius of Oscar Peterson is particularly to be heard starting 2:57 | Mind blowing succession of chords to say the least leaving soloist Bolling and Legrand in the dust...

2.36 m el gesto de admiración de Michel Legrand al quedar estupefacto por la creación sublime y manejo del instante de Oscar Peterson con absoluta perfección y buen gusto, maestro de maestros del piano de jazz

I'm a big boy, why is this bringing me to tears..

Wow, such beautiful music and brilliantly executed! I miss Michel Legrand...

genius song writer meets the genius song interpreter and listen to what happens.

Awesome!!! Missing these talented persons. Thankfully we have the recordings and video to cherish their greatness. Much love fans and all good things!!!!!! HEY Bayne Bacon you seeing this...swinging!!!!

World class musicians performing to perfection! (The piano arrangement of the beguiling Recit de Cassard was particularly inventive and expressive.)

Oscar Peterson le plus grand pianiste "swingger man" de tous les temps

Thank you for the upload. It's really appreciated.

Smutny dzień [*] Kino francuskie zawsze kojarzy mi się z muzyką Michela.

So gorgeous .. Thanks so much for this treasure .. I love the overhead first shot of Oscar and his hands moving over the keyboard. So much musical love between them ...

Thank you ever so much for posting this. Tremendous!

RIP dear Mr LEGRAND....!^^

Although I'm getting on a bit now,I've finally "mastered" Watch what happens.After hearing Oscar's version,I feel like giving up.....the man is pure genius.If I lived to be 100,I would still be in awe at the "master".One disgruntled 66 year old....lol

GRANDES GENIOS DEL SIGLO XX Y ETERNAMENTE INOLVIDABLES.-.-

two geniuses

I love the music of Michel Legrand and have written a guitar piece in his style. It's called Waltz For Mrs K and is on KZfaq.

This is just OWESOME!!!!

monsieur Legrand tearing it up with the Maharajah.. His face in the background as Oscar plays his tune.. Farewell dear soul.. X

Un mélange d’amour et de folie transmis par ces dizaines de doigts en furie...et nous, nous nous délectons de ce cocktail de notes lancées à toute allure. Merci à ces grands artistes de nous envoyer au xième ciel. Pierre Cool (mélomane compulsif)

The impression I had after watching carefully, is like a master and his piano lessons pupil. Michel Legrand is a great composer, fantastic, but here, the pianist is Oscar Peterson. Oscar transcends everything Michel thought about his own music. Look how Peterson plays with the harmony at the final of the theme presentation. My goodness ! What I have done to see on the same stage Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, or Chick Corea... 🎷🙏🙏👍❤️❤️

WOW, I am speechless! No hay palabras.... The best of the best...

Adieu Michel Legrand . Nous t'aimons .

You could study piano for 100 years, eight hours a day, and still not achieve the level of genius both of these men had! Just unbelievable!!

Fantastica! Super!

Great!!! Thank you.

Just Wonderful

Oscar Peterson was untouchable other than Art Tatum there was none better.

Amazing!!!

Michel Legrand's "Watch What Happens" Soon became a Jazz Standard Rembrandt globally & remains Such on January 16th, 2023

Fascinating!

DAMN!. See game recognize game. two Giants!

Michel Le grand ! So French….love them both. ❤❤

Moving now, oh yes. Real music by The Master : Oscar Peterson. Michel Legend. Don't you like comments where people like me, jut want to dance and not worry about putting some smart, deep insightful new words on here. Vibes are tremendous today. Enjoy life now.

MAGNÍFICOS

Beautiful

Legrand si touchant, le regard émerveillé comme un enfant devant Peterson. Quelle tristesse... Un géant de la musique touche à tout.

NHOP’s sophisticated play perfectly matched those two geniuses.

omg, that's just beautiful! imagine nowadays, "they" (not them, new artist maybe) would record a 15-second lick and we would lose this fantastic play! music is essential for our lives, and music is minutes long. That's for sure!

Heavenly.

This was in the mid 80’s. Oscar Peterson was 60 yrs. old and did some of his best playing. Michel Legrand, probably one of the best composers and no slouch on piano! This swings so hard, no strobe lights or smoke, definitely fireworks in the performance!! Martin Drew and NHOP more than pull their weight, love the way they trade 8’s and still keep it swinging! Gone, but never forgotten.
