Very noticible was the presentation of flowers to the musicians. Very seldom does this happen in America which let its great jazz music fade away. Bravo to the wonderful audience and the sparkling performance by the world's greatest piano.

Jamal, ALL of these men are on fire! Why can't people get this fabulous music on the radio? It's always the same old same old on every station. These men studied their instrument, can play any kind of GOOD music and we reap the benefit. These men were not out of someone's garage pretending to play music. These are the REAL music makers and the songs are OH so great! SYLVIA - FL -6-6-2018.

I don't know how anyone can sit down to that kind of music. This is the kind of song that helps liberate the soul. 12:00 you can see it in his face he put more than his fingers into it, his body is literally pouring out for this

This is fantastic. I think it was after Oscar's first of several struggles with arthritis, and you would never know he was dealing with any sort of hand issues. Still at his best, always was.

I met Bobby Durham in Paris some years ago and he told how difficult it was to start a concert at this kind of tempo! I had to warm up a lot backstage he told me... But during this time Oscar was at the bar enjoying a drink... 😂

That's why he was the leader. He already put his time into piano.

He has to have had the fastest fingers of any player ever combined with an incredible classical background places him in a speical category of performers. As a 76 year old piano hack, I appreciate his experise..

Oscar Peterson trio always superb ! 🎉❤❤❤❤❤

50 from now, and they still have that touch, Thanks Masters.

even the trombonist at 22:22 is phenomonal. They all incorporated every singular aspect of jazz and blues develepment the in this preformance. Let it be perfect. Thats it.

In spite of the difficult days in Prague during the 1960s, the audience was very fortunate to be able to see this on their TV. It speaks volumes that the audience was so appreciative of this music which must have been frowned upon by the ruling elite at this time.

Superb .

One of the great Peterson teams, formed after Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen disbanded. Their albums include "Girl Talk", "The Way I Really Play", "mellow Mood", "Travelin' On", ""Tristeza on Piano", and "Helli Herbie".

That drum solo! Hes gotta have more then two hands

Incredible Oscar Peterson 👋✊

Check out Bobby Durhams drumming on the 1969 "Hello Herbie" album with Oscar Peterson, Sam Jones and Jazz-guitar great Herbie Ellis. One number called 'Day By Day', features Durham playing the coolest Bossa Nova drum tapping and brush combination ever recorded. The drum taps that sound like rapid clicks, are layered over sweeping brushwork that fills out the rhythm, as legendary Motown bassist James Jamerson would say, "Filling it" beyond what’s possible.

Like the truths about life,this playing will last forever.

These boy's were on top of their game. In Rome. A long ways from the hood, right? I knew Sam Jones was a good bass player, but I didn't know he was "Oscar Peterson" Good. You've got to know what you're doin messin' around with Oscar Peterson. I'm impressed. Durham is on fire!

El más extraordinario pianista de jazz que he oído en mi vida de amante del jazz.

“Mostly, he wanted to leave his music behind. He knew that he had a great legacy of his compositions and recordings and performances and that’s what he was proud of. He was always looking toward the future, but not as far as what his legacy would be, more how he could challenge himself, how he could play it better the next time, what piece he was going to write. I think that has a lot to say about his humility.” Kelly Peterson - Wife

DAMN this is just too marvelous for words!!! First time seeing this video!!! Thank you

❤

Ok... Durham might be one of my new favorite drummers. I'd never heard of him before. Not that I can remember. That boy was insane! ... and I'm going to have to add Sam Jones to my favorite bass players list now too. Dang! You'd think I would've heard more of Mr. Jones, being in Cannonball's group. wow... so rock solid.

Oscar had to help that trombonist that's what it's all about that's tough. I mean at the beginning of the trombone solo the drums were all over the place that horn had to find him. ( I mean all over the place as a good thing)

nobody hav tone like Sam Jones

the drummer's cymbals ..he was so playing them.. that it seemed like bruce lee with matches good. he was striking them like matches... i'm surprised he had any hair left after he exploded the universe with a massive firestorm of a drum solo after trading with Oscar. name?

Any band with great Sam Jones on bass is worth hearing for me. Love Bobby Durham but prefer Sam Jones with Billy Higgins, Louis Hays, Arthur Taylor or Roy Brooks. As to Oscar, one minute he is brilliant and another he kills the music with his endless cliches. But at least he's not boring like so many piano players today!

Why was the name of the guy on the trombone left out, he does a fantastic job (see 21:30 and after), anybody knows his name?

Any chance to see OP videos at this clarity is greatly appreciated, but it seems to me that the piano is a bit flat or the tape is running a little slow.

Same guy in the audience, grabbing his butt, multiple times? Love the trio, the trombone is not synced right, something very wrong there.... just glad these guys could go to Europe and get filmed.

Don't know way Sam Jones seems to manage OP flood better than NHOP does, IMHO. Stone solid bassist although not that virtuoso.

Doesn't sound good.
