A time where TV Show was teaching you interesting Things, with Substances, you felt you learned something.... this was the paßt...

A master of beautiful sound!

Oscar Peterson was a musical genius and a gentleman, with as much character as one could ever find in a human. I love this man.

When I’m asked what I do for a living I tell people I’m a musician and then I look at someone like Oscar petersen and I realise I’m not remotely even in the same universe as a someone like that. I’ve no idea how someone gets this good at doing anything.

It's almost like the piano just says to him tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it...

What is that opening piece?

We may never touch the hand of God…. but if you got to shake Mr. Petersons hand, you were one away. 🤘🕊❤️🤘 💫✨

The only thing better than watching a master at work: watching two masters at work

Thank You!!! I was listening to this this morning, trying to hear what they were saying.

So deep, so cool.

So truly amazing

0:38 please someone transcribe those notes 😍😍😍

0:38: Before anyone makes a fool of themselves calling this stride piano, let me warn you right now, that's swing piano. Art Tatum didn't play stride, Teddy Wilson didn't play stride, Oscar Peterson CERTAINLY did not play stride. Stride piano was not about backing yourself like a whole band rhythm section, it was about dropping the left hand bass notes down as far as possible and playing a melodic single note bassline like a tuba or upright bassist would play while using rather blues like improv in the right hand.

Es una leyenda y un guia para mi junto con Bill, Art y Errol

Used to wstch Dick Cavett but don’t remember that show. Very nice.

If you say Donna Summer your in big trouble.....Great sense of humour. X

Oscar seemed like a really down to earth guy... would have loved to have known him

talk about good

Oscar Peterson! Supreme talent

One of my all-time favorites! I can't even wrap my head around his talent. He and Red Garland are my top two favorite musicians of all time. And then he breaks that voice out! Man, what a talent!

SO BRILLIANT ❤

I didn't know about this musician now I'm going to have to learn more about him. He's fantastic.

This guy is probably the most brilliant jazz pianist that ever lived!!🎼🎼🎼🎼

Why is it I always smile whrn OP plays

Wonderful, just wonderful.

One of the most incredible musicians to ever exist.

This may very well be the greatest thing on RUclips.

Masterly pianism, Absolutely

Peterson is not only a phenomenal pianist but a gracious and delightful person as well.

what a fine gentleman....

I got it from the man himself. It's Loo-Iss Armstrong.

Amazing , genial. Out of the world

Quality television ❤❤

People who has the gift make it so easy... he seems always joking. "Thank you for this master lesson".

Absolute masterpiece. Obviously Mr. Peterson being one of the best to ever do it, but Cavett too. Incredible.

My parents were big fans and I still have some of their vinyls of this amazing man

Nice

This is so brilliant. How did our society sink into such insipid stupidity? Dick Cavett was such a great host. He trusted the intelligence of his audience. Such a host no longer exists.

Can we hit rewind on America and go back to this?

I watched this when I was 11 years old in 1987. I had been a huge Beatles fan since 1982. I'm an even bigger fan now.

Total pro Oscar P.

I wish I could have seen him play live.

What do you know... Americans used to be smart.... Not that long ago.

Wonderful! Beautiful!

👏👏👏😘😘😘

Good luck with Black History Month.
