This is the first recording ever of a young Oscar Peterson. Guy Glover and Norman McLaren discovered this musician playing in a bar in Ottawa and recruited him for the film. Norman McLaren composed the music piece and produced the session.
To David Lloyd Glover. Not even close to Peterson's first recordings. He was on RCA Victor 78s in Canada as early as April 30, 1945, and there are radio airchecks of his work in 1944. And in that same year Count Basie had already lauded Peterson in the music magazine Down Beat. By the time this film was made, Peterson was jazz star in Montreal and Canada, and soon to become world famous.
I've been looking for this for...for ever and ever and ever, let's just say that. :) Thank you so much for sharing -- Norman McLaren is truly my hero!!
wow, this is a great piece! maybe you should mention "Oscar Peterson Trio" in the title so music lovers as well as art lovers will be able to stumble upon this.
@hmengland41 @David Lloyd Glover You're both mistaken actually, Oscar Peterson was born to the King of Canada which brought him in contact with recording artists from a very young age. There are recordings of him playing as young as 8 in the royal archives! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Peterson
No, I have not made any artsy films of my own, but that's not really relevent is it? This is just awful. Yot wanna see what a real artistic short looks like check out my animation playlist.
if you attend an animation program at college every single new professor you have will show this film

Wonderfully difficult, beautiful to see.
gorgeous synchronized mish-mash. Propably McLaren's greatest work
This is just what I needed for my art class! Thanks so much for posting!
I simply love McLaren's animations.... they're so poetic!!
