It’s difficult to compare jazz pianists to classical pianists. In technique i could name a few that are superior, like Cziffra, Marc-Andre Hamelin (although he is a very unmusical pianist) or Hoffman, but musically there is no way to compare the two genres. What makes a great jazz musician, would make a mediocre classical musician, and vice versa. However, Peterson is surely still among the greatest pianists to ever live

A composer and arranger. When his father played a record of Art Tatum to him he thought he was 4 hands playing. He decided right there and then what he was going to aim to play as great as Tatum. To deal with become known and to face the racial prejudice in America at that time and he in Toronto. He decided if he was gonna come to America and tour he’s going to have to scare people, have to frighten people with his piano playing, so he would be respected and treated right. And that he did!!

Oscar Peterson is to piano as Tommy Emmanuel is to guitar. Complete and total mastery of the instrument. Technique is transcended, allowing the artist a level of freedom of expression not available to mere mortals still struggling with technical details. Look no further than 4:18 to see what true instrument mastery looks like.

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC, has many hours of Oscar Peterson, which they played when he passed away. There was one piece in particular that floored me. He was playing along in his usual masterful way, but about 3/4 of the way through the piece he just took off! It was unbelievable! How he transformed from merely great into godlike in a second. I'll never forget that as long as I live. He was one of the all-time greats.

I saw him once in concert. But I was probably too young (18 years old) to fully appreciate his talent. Tickets were $6.00. I saw Joe Pass playing solo. Tickets were $2.00.
I've always loved Oscar Peterson. I also love the sound of that Bösendorfer piano.
I’m an (aspiring) electronic music producer and a DJ. I exist (almost) completely in the world of modern music and yet, I still watch videos of Oscar throwing down on the piano and am completely mesmerized. It’s like that instrument was made for him and he was made for it. The connection he had with the piano was one of the all-time greatest relationships in music.

This performance made me teary. Such beautiful music, such expression. Oscar and the piano is all that's needed to touch the hearts of millions
Oscar can only be described as one word: amazing
Besides the ability to instantaneously play whatever he was hearing and feeling, often at an extremely high level of technique, somehow he was able to keep it pleasing, happy, not dark, even though his playing was frequently overwhelming. That's why Oscar is my fav
It is all about the joy of playing, no matter our level, all about the joy of listening. Listening to Oscar P. is always a beautiful heart experience, without comparing to other pianists.

Once a great pianist Glenn Gould, said, if Oscar Peterson would play Bach- then I will stop play piano. This is most compliment and respect for this hilarious genius of Peterson, who to compare to most Jazz pianists practiced every day without exception. That feeling when no matter how much you practice, you will never achieve such mastery. This is genius. 👏🏻

Oscar Peterson is to piano as Tommy Emmanuel is to guitar. Complete and total mastery of the instrument. Technique is transcended, allowing the artist a level of freedom of expression not available to mere mortals still struggling with technical details. Look no further than 4:18 to see what true instrument mastery looks like.
Oh my God!!!! That’s freaking insane!!!
When I listen to or watch Oscar I am reminded of the human intelligence and cunning which evolved the building of sophisticated instruments and an evolved musical creativity to reveal the beauty of his talent and our species it’s like everything that is right in our galaxy is right here
Siamo nel 2024 ! Questo Brano chi lo conosce, OSCAR, lo Interpreta in un CAPOLAVORO ! LUI sta Suonando giocando divertendosi, IL GENIO DEL JAZZ SWING UNICO !!
An all time master craftsman...he is the bar....Jesus Molina, Herbie Hancock, Joey Alexander, Glenn Gibson jr. Corey Henry, Joey Defranciso all are utterly fantastic but Oscar is just a different cat.
This is a masterpiece, incredible.
Oscar is the best pianist in music history, it is just unbelievable how good he was
He is genius ... To be inspired by Art Tatum and to have such genius, taste grand ability, class all in 1 is a testimony to God
One word: Genius.
The song is called "I can't get started with you"

Have you heard Sandy’s blues yet?
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CBC, has many hours of Oscar Peterson, which they played when he passed away. There was one piece in particular that floored me. He was playing along in his usual masterful way, but about 3/4 of the way through the piece he just took off! It was unbelievable! How he transformed from merely great into godlike in a second. I'll never forget that as long as I live. He was one of the all-time greats.

I wonder what Frederic Chopin would think upon hearing this if he suddenly woke up in 1999. You could say they were both great improvisers, just in quite different styles and harmonic languages.
amazing player

Great music, RIP Oscar Peterson! It looks like the 1987 concert in Tokyo (Oscar had a stroke in 1993, Joe Pass passed away in 1994)
Non sono dita, SONO PERLE ! GRANDIOSO GENIO ! non esistera' un secondo, come OSCAR, forse imitazioni ! Il Suo sudore, e' la Sua Anima del Suo TALENTO !!
Soooo cool to see Oscar's massive hands glide so effortlessly along those keys
EL MEJOR DE LA HISTORIA DEL JAZZ.
I've always held Arthur Rubinstein, Richer, Horowitz, Cziffra, Argerich, Michelangeli (and the list of legend goes on) in the highest regard. To me they were always the undisputed, after knowing Art tatum and Oscar Peterson, I really believe that all the previously mentioned classical piano legends are mere students.
