> Nobody has his inventiveness, playfulness, class , shear chops!

Well, there was a nobody... a blind pianist from Toledo Ohio, named Art Tatum.

OP spent years and countless hours emulating Tatum. When OP was in his teens, his father brought home some Tatum records to put the young man in his musical place. OP said that when he realized that it was not two guys playing the piano but just one, then he became discouraged and nearly gave up playing for a month or so.

In a TV interview (elsewhere on youtube) OP quoted Tatum as telling him, "The only way to get over me is you'll just have to learn to hate me."

OP and Tatum later became friends, and OP remarked, "He calls me son."

This video is called "Oscar Peterson - C Jam Blues" and he's playing keys all the way through the video so it's a given that he is playing the keys - no need to mention this explicitly. More importantly, if you're improvising on the keys but not singing your improvisation as you play, it's not possible for a listener to know if you're playing an improvised melody that's in your head or simply playing notes that "make sense" given chord-scale theory. The former is much more impressive than the latter. That impressive ability is precisely what I was commenting on.

Oscar is the man. In any era, in any genre. Well rounded without being predictable. When I hear his piano, I just know its him playing. He does such a good job luring the listener in, and then "wham" you are a fan for life. 16th notes don't impress you? Then he syncopates them. How about 32nds? And dynamics--he is the king. He can churn it like butter or crunch it as punctuation.

Watch the drummer focus on the fingers of the Ray Brown. They are interacting live, with no two choruses the same, but each one is pure musicianship. Whatever style of music you like, in its day this was the best available. Styles change but genius musical talent is timeless.

A lot of other pianists, when packing a lot of fast notes into a phrase, have a little trouble getting it all in perfectly and often come in just a tiny bit late for the next. Oscar Peterson always got everything done on time and never came in late for the next phrase. That's just one little example of how great he was.

It’s in him after 10,000 hours of practice. No magic. Hard work. You can have a gift. But without work it’s nothing. How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice.

This is absolutely ridiculous, i am quite new to jazz. The skill the main man Peterson has is absolutely mind blowing, but what i am learning in jazz is every great record is made up up of mind blowing talent. Ive not heard a bad record where the bass player was R.Brown,

Transcribe this and slow it down and learn to phrase like Oscar paying attention to his note durations and space in between the notes. It is quite possible to develop this technique and sound with a lot of careful listening and writing it down and lea ring it slowly.

Ray Brown was one of two guys I ever saw playing with Oscar. The other guy a Swedish guy. Lights out top drawer players. I love this trio!! Add Joe Pass and you got one hell of a quartet.

I have been deeply into jazz for over 60 years. There are very few people in the world about whom you can say that they are the best ever at what they do, but you certainly can say that about Oscar P and Ray B. Ed Thigpen is no slouch either. He fits right in here. When Oscar and Ray died I said "if God was not a jazz fan, he is now!"
How in the world could 113 people go thumbs down on this. I feel sorry for them.
