Such delicate beauty in a world drowning in junk
So perfectly said!
Must be referring to how people treated black people back then
Word
Such passion and fire in a world drowning in his 😓 😢😅!!!!!!!
yeahhhh
I bet im not the only one who feels lucky to be able to go back and enjoy this great music in a world where we're constantly bombarded with mediocrity!.
there's always something so classy about Oscar Peterson
This is the greatness of humanity on display.
true. people nowadays dont know how great this is... i mean the greatest.
Mom was an Oscar Peterson & jazz fan; got to listen to good stuff right out of the gate..! Grateful
Joe told me, personally, a few years before his death, how he came to play with OP by accident, on a show evening when OP was late and he was asked by the management to fill in playing 'solo' for the crowd until OP arrived. He told me that 'instinct' and 'speed' were triggered, and arised as he kept playing with OP's trio...
I'm just stunned...but with a silly smile on my face. Better than drugs.
How can someone be so ridiculously good? Joe pass and Oscar Peterson are legends!
My thoughts as well, so completely off the charts that every bit of so called "talent" in the music world today couldn't hold a candle to Oscar, seriously, but then add the other three in.
that's like your opinion man. But yeah, attentive practice and retrospection of what you are doing while making music are the way. @@wyliestivers2634
And now we have a new generation of guitar geniuses like Matteo Mancuso. We can’t forget the past but we must honour the future.
“How can someone be so ridiculously good”. ??
Countless hours after hour of hard work, learning, listening and practicing, year after year after year! And when it comes to people like Oscar & Joe, that special “touch from above” that sets them apart from the other 99% of great musicians.
And while most guitar & piano teachers argue against the idea of a “special touch from above”, as a guitarist myself I can say over the last 50+ years, I’ve seen and played with a few people that also had that touch. It’s like when the 4 year old child sits down at a piano, and just starts playing it, having never before even touched it. These few gifted people are at a level of playing, that 99% of people will never attain, no matter how much they play and practice! Don’t get me wrong, that’s NOT to say guys like Oscar & Joe didn’t have to work hard to get where they’re at. It’s just to say they have that ability to reach a higher proficiency than others, IF they put their effort into it.
Top o their game!!
I met Joe Pass and he played one of my first guitars for which he paid me a high compliment. When someone else who was there asked him: what advice he’d give to an up and coming jazz musician? Joe Pass said: “Learn to sing”. He’s was the greatest.
When I die I hope the good Lord allows me heaven cause Oscar Peterson is doing a Command Performance.
Three kinds of chords: Major, minor, and dominant - Joe Pass
The bass player is insane...perfect timing and intonation
I know! Such beautiful tone, too. Reminds me a bit of Gary Peacock.
Dave Young, I think.
😊
@@anthonychristie7781 Yes it is. Great Toronto sessionplayer. Everybody who comes to town wants him. Has a day job as a carpenter!
@@anthonychristie7781 Yes. Great Toronto session player.
Grew up watching him a Dantes in the SFV on Monday night, guitar night, he was a regular.. In 1972 I could pay for two $1.75 drinks ($3.50) and watch him for hours. I was 19 and playing in the CSUN jazz band and gradually made friends with him. He invited me over when he bought a house in Van Nuys to help out and I hung out with him there about a dozen times over the next couple of years. Not only was he a genius, but one of the most caring and generous people I ever met. Don't believe me, ask Dave Paich, of Toto, I dated his sister Lorrie for years and I'm less than two years older than Dave, he knew. Joe warned me that a great jazz player must know every standard inside out, I never had the drive to do that. Make no mistake, his talent cannot be bought or attained by practice, ya gotta be born with it.
What happened to Dante's, IT'S A BANK PARKING LOT - PROGRESS! HE NEVER PLAYED THE SAME THING TWICE THAT i HEARD AND i LISTENED A LOT.
What I remember most is that he said was THERE ARE NO BAD NOTES.
Asiera exacto semPre igual,y los precios eraN esos ,ibamos cada 15 dias a escucharlo lo conte hace un rato, gracias por corroborar mi palabras DANTES A GREAT PLACE TO LISEN ,JAZZ.
EN EL 1987 TENIA UN CONSERVATORIO DONDE ENSEÑABA AHY SE RECIBIO UN JOVEN HIJO DE UNOS AMIGOS,JOE FUE UNA GRAN PERSONA,Y UN EXCELENTE MUSICO,ME GUSTO MUCHO SU RESPUESTA .GRACIAS
I'm a guitarist, and very often feel "stuck in a rut" so to speak with my practicing. But when I watch these guys it makes me want to pick it up and just dive right back in. Such inspirational musicians. Can't get enough of Oscar and Joe!
Have that exact same feeling.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The way that Joe Pass's fingers float over the fretboard with grace like a butterfly it is truly magnificient.
That's Now Just the point When you are Amidst between those guys who are not just playing the tunes no no What they are doing is being the music and totally in control of medium Jazz music and when you or I hear this I get A kick from it can't keep my feet still start tapping the beat
Hey you and when I am in the right mood which is usually between 9 pm till deep in the night and if the moon is giving me her blessing then sometimes wonderful things can happen! I want to give you an extremely important advice from now on!
EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU PICK UP YOUR GUITAR ALWAYS AND YOU MUST TAKE THAT VERY SERIOUSLY
AS YOU WELL KNOW NOBODY HAS 365 DAYS GOOD DAYS
SOME DAYS YOU MAY BE HAVING THE MUZE AND SINCE WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR PUSH THE RECORD BUTTON OF THE VOICE RECORDER ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
MY MOTHER USED TO BE A FANTASTIC PIANISTE THE SWEETHEART TOUGHT ME WRITE AND READ NOTES AT THE age of 6 and she said
If you want to kill two birds with one stone
Record everything you play since No Shot Is absolutely a missed shot apart from learning from your mistakes it's 100 % certain that you catch these genius moments which you or I so seldom have
You should listen to Oscar peterson and Herb Ellis with A Contrabass player called Ray in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw full concert in 1957 with a very good looking young Oscar peterson and at the end there's a vocal surprise
Me too😅
8:09 Hey! I have not read far down into the comments, but want to say that Dave Young is the bass player and he not only is so alive, he is so fantastic to experience…absolutely awe inspiring and consciousness lifting. He plays often at The Jazz Bistro in Toronto. Thanks for making such a great show available. I really appreciate this!
How often does he play, do you know what nights ? I’d love to go see him
This is PERFECT jazz - my brain can swim when I listen to this piano and guitar masterpiece...
Voltaire:
'The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood.'
Joe Pass. Excellence. No fans blowing his hair. No fake whammy bar tricks. No fake facial expressions. No glamour clothes. Straight to the point. Respect. Class. Art. We could use some of these values today. Oscar Peterson is also phenomenal. He plays the piano the it’s fullest extent. Some classical pianists don’t know how to make it sing like that.
Thank God no one on stage was hot. Who knows what a fan might have done...
I don’t know, his picking’s pretty fancy.
Classical pianists don’t improvise. Just play what is written.
@@gitaaa7740 Tell that to Mozart.
@@adamedmour9704 Mozart would improvise? On what piece?
My guitar teacher told me if I wanted to learn about comping listen to Oscar Peterson!
At 35:25 starts a great trade off between OP and JP. I like the grin on OPs face as they trade licks. When these guys have fun, it lights up the performance.
Who is next on stage....after this? Come on...Oscar Peterson began rippin it loose at the Sushi blues...then steppin it up even farther, playin off key deliberatly, then in a ragtime no one has ever playd since ww2...leavin Joe ,David and Martin in awe, because like allways they didn't believe what they heard and saw, knowing up-front Oscar allways has something special up his sleeve, there they walk of the stage, leaving the audience in disbelieve, but something magical has spring sprung, from non other than mr. Oscar Peterson!!
A fantasy of mine, if I had a time machine, would to have Mozart watch these guys for 15 minutes and then sit in with them, I think he would get it and have a blast!
You are so right.
What an awesome idea!! Perhaps, all three of them are jamming now for all we know; I hope so!!
Oscar is like Water, Joe is how the Wind blows
Nothing like a little Oscar to bring peace and hope into your day.
The world may have been simpler but the music certainly wasn’t.
Gog bless them all !!
Oscar and Joe rightfully get lots of attention, but lets not forget Martin Drew and David Young - world class, top notch musicians in their own right. This is a dream band.
I don't know of any other pianist who can play the piano as enjoyably as Oscar Peterson and play deeply and calmly.
You can't hear it but when they finish the first thing Oscar does is point to Joe and says "Joe Pass". Two titans of this world on stage together.
Oscar Peterson has been called a Master of the piano. A deserving tribute. A great Canadian. Thank you, Oscar for all the great music.
Joe and Oscar together is almost too much for the human brain to process.
The sound on this video is almost as fantastic as the playing. Every nuance comes through crystal clear with power and elegance. And if I could dress half as sharp as these masters, I'd be a very happy man.
The sound is good, but I think Joe is a bit out of the mix at times and I struggled to hear all his lines. Oscar was a force, beyond mortal, such an amazing band!
Out of three hundred thousand, only 86 do not understand music! this is good!
Joe Pass is AMAZING.

TWO OF THE BEST GUITAR AND PIANO PLAYERS IN MUSIC HISTORY PLAYING MUSIC TOGHETHER. WHAT A PLEASURE!
What other guitarist are you talking about, Barney Kessel ? ?
@@TheBladepolisher JOE PASS OF COURSE, THE ONE WHO PLAYS WITH OSCAR PETERON IN THIS VIDEO! DID`T YOU SEE HIM?
I want download Joe's brain... omg soo amazing how Oscar and Joe are together...
It is so much more enjoyable when one can Actually hear the bass player. In previous recordings it has been virtually non existant....
Joe really rocks. What a great colaboration!
The bass took it´s rightful place -- great playing, great mixing, and Oscar conducts.
Martin Drew on Drums ⭐⭐⭐👏
Smoking hot classy. My generation never displayed an appreciation for these exquisite musicians nor the genre.
Piano's virtuoso, but with musicality. Was a fantastic player at this mortal world...
Absolutely Gorgeous!🙋♀️❤️❤️ Orcar Peterson and Joe Pass!🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩
As superb as each one of them are, that bass player is just so on the money. Love his lines.
Dave Young, I think
Stratospheric levels of talent here. Amazing and inspiring.
David Young is an underrated bassist who deserves much admiration as the other players of course
Оскар , и этим всё сказано , а ещё Дхо Пасссс
ЦЕНИТЕЛИ Джаза . а как Вам , встать и умереть.
Oscar Peterson one of the most important piano jazz in América for last 50 years shows his perfomance with an experiente guitar jazz player as historic meeting on jazz music giants.
Wonderfull!
IF YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL JAZZ PLAYERS FROM THE 21ST CENTURY I THINK PAT METHENY IS THE MOST INNOVATING GUITAR PLAYER IN EXISTENCE
Very good!
All I can say is…oh my God! The whole band is smokin hot! This is a night to remember- geniuses on a peak Jazz journey, taking us along for a ride of a lifetime.
The only Oscars worth watching ! Great stuff
Joe really had cojones of steel to get into the ring with Oscar. But then it turns out that he is completely up to this insanely challenging task, and easily holds his own. Wild and Stupendous!
Amen! In my humble opinion, Joe Pass is one of very few that could match Oscar's virtuosity! Just sayin'!
Lol? Joe Pass is the greatest jazz guitarist of all time... In my opinion anyway 🙃
Cojones of steel es lo mejor que le puede pasar al bilingüismo
@@hombrepollo Beats huevos of steel anyway. That would just be distracting!
I played with Herb Ellis and he told me that he thought Joe was the greatest Jazz guitarist.
That solo piece Joe plays about a third of the way into this video and the piano boogie Oscar concocts right afterward show two of the greatest musicians of our time at the height of their powers. Amazing!
Was at Hampshire College in mid-70's. Went to Hartford Civic Center to see Oscar and Joe and Sarah Vaughn and Basie Orchestra.
Even for a rock and roll hippie it blew my mind.
A decision you will never regret. Sublime!👍🇨🇦
Great musicians feed off each other and this was feast for the ages. I was wondering what year this was.
I went to see this concert‼️Thank you for uploading😍
Oscar and joe. Git it now
Truly wonderful. Masters of their respective instruments. Really enjoyed this, but it irks me a little when people say, 'The greatest of all time.' Just for instance, Joe is not better than Django...Django is not better than Joe...so on and so forth. When they get to the stage where they can be - quite rightly - called elite musicians, then it is simply a matter of taste. This works across all the arts.
Well said and I agree. Modern music has little to do with virtuoso talent and the current listening public appears to shun the blend of art / craftsmanship / technical mastery on display here.
I just started listening and Immediately thought that this video isn't long enough!
When God gives out talent gifts, he really is generous.
God Bless Canada
I was a member of a cultural arts music program when I was a senior in high school. Greatest memory and influence? Fellow student and piano virtuoso turned me on to Oscar Peterson. Thanks Joe!
The entrance of Joe's first solo is awesome. Oscar hands him a great rhythmic melody and Joe picks it up and runs with it right away.
the bass carrys unbelieveble
Learned my foundations from Joe Pass books about guitar, big influence on me.
Oscar Peterson a musical universe of its own majestetic dimension. together with another jazz genius. Their music will last forever.
I think it'll last a lot longer than that ;)
Oh Doctor! If you a reminder what you might have missed of supreme quality for jazz improvisation here it is in all its abundance.
Oscar was in a world of his own
Oscar played one handed better than most others with two. I'd like to give a mention to Martin Drew too who once in the grove was hard to get out. A World class British star. If Oscar booked him, he must be one of the best.
AdrianK: YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I ‘m broken at the moment, l miss sittin with my DAD💔,havin a whiskey with him & listening to the GREATS. My DAD💔 & Mum met thro his jazz club that he started. There all gone now. I like to think DAD & my Godfather EUGENE was such a sweetheart. And a big man!! He asked me to play something ( on my beautiful for real 1963 Strat. Not a jazz players pick! There was one; but l forget who it was. 🙄 Anyhoo, l started to play ‘Take 5’ ; he replied ‘ not that, just play. Which l did. One of the best ‘comments’ ever, You’re too flashy for me! ‘ 😂😂😂😂 l swear, when l gave him the guitar, he said this is like too small’. 😅 He couldn’t play it coz his fingers were so long & HUMUNGUS. A beautiful man. In his 90s, & still playing. So, that era of his, it’s over. Thank God l was so privileged. 🥰Not into Trad, Or fusion. Same with me!! My pianos named ‘OSCAR’!!! My 1st gig DAD💔took me to see Dave Brubeck; l was 3 years old. I remember that gig. Of course, not all of it! 🎹🎸😃
Greatest musicians on earth! Second?
The mad groove the drum and bass are supporting these beasts with!! Absolute units on stage
This is amazing. After hearing the porgy and bess album, I just have to find everything with these two masters in it.
Really nice to read all the loving comments appreciating this amazing art, all players here are just... perfection.
When a lot of musicians play fast, it can be boring. They kinda run on, seemingly without a point.
Not Oscar Peterson.
He breaks it up with such rhythmic variations that it stays interesting.
And when he does blistering runs for extended times, his melodic variations sparkle so much it keeps you engaged
Unfortunate that Pass' guitar wasn't given a bit more volume in the mix here! Great playing by all, but I struggle to hear Pass clearly
Proof that there are levels in humanity. Not many of us who could reach such a high level of mastery or deep understanding of musical possibilities, no matter the amount of studies or practice. This is phenomenal any which way you look at it. RESPECT.
Amazing performance. And what a gloriously fat bass sound!
Just pure genius.
Oscar was a model pianist for an old friend of mine. He has recently past away but this music by Oscar is still alive, and will be forever...
so effortless...
Class.
Who ever put this on her for me to see is my !!!! HERO !!!!! Best emoji compliment ever🥓
Peterson and Pass..... Doesn’t get that much better, ever really..... Does It?
Its kind of insane how good they are.
ultimate performance...
Waouh, du grand, du très grand... avec Joe Pass, Peterson se repose sur lui avec une grande délicatesse...
If I had a time machine ❤
Every note Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass hit are gold 😁 WOW
Saw Oscar in the 80s and it was glorious! Oscar, Duke and Ella on same stage. Jazz heaven!
Duke in the 80’s? He passed away 1974...
Players of this calibre are Timeless! They live as long as the ears allow.
What a pleasure to Listen to those PHD of musicians that will never ever will be forgotten ❤
The sheer amount of talent and virtuosity on that stage is stellar! Only Coltrane, Miles, and Wes joining in could top it.
One of the greatest pianists ever!
The greatest !
I disagree, I think he was the greatest, and that includes Mozart and the like.
That’s about like saying wilt chamberlain was one of the greatest basketball players ever!
Swing……A lotta people really don’t know that it came, mostly from riding trains from town to town. It feels like a train, Yes? What a treat this is. The audio is really good! Thanks
They came together to play in Rio in the 70s…I remember…Gods of music…
Joe has the greatest guitar face of all time
Oscar Peterson was a genius.
Here we go Oscar peterson
Im walking around work and having to take a double take at the video while he is playing such effortless melodies with a swinging tempo. As a guitar player, oscar peterson astounds me. Joe Pass is nothing short but enlightenment for us guitarists.
HE WAS UP THERE WITH THE BEST OF THE CROWD AND ALWAYS KEPT HIS POSTURE MAKING FUNNY JOKES AS HE DID IN SATIN DOLL JUST TO SHAKE EM UP PLAYING RUBBISH FOR A SEC TO CHECK IF THEY PAY ATTENTION EVERINE LAUGHED
My guess after watching this: only musicians will give it a thumbs up. And most of the musicians watching will give it thumbs down rather than just give up. Pass/Peterson, two of the best there will ever be.
Preach the word my good friend, take it in Peterson/Pass you wont find ANY greater!!!!
I saw Joe and Oscar together live in the seventies in the "Konzertaula Kamen" near Dortmund in Germany. It was one of some highlights in my life. OUTSTANDING!!!
Particularmente me gusta el mano a mano de Joe y Óscar entre los minutos 20:00 y 22:00.
