funny, because I also get goosebumps at that part around 8:35. Peterson also did that thing with his Hymn to Freedom in the most viewed video of it on youtube, which also give me goosebumps everytime i hear it.

Oscar and Dexter TOGETHER is almost enough to make the universe implode!!

@@ymousanon4615 It's a hypothesized thing in physics, the big crunch. Cosmic inflation runs out of steam and ultimately reverses, 20 billion years or so later (I guess) it all ends as the universe is drawn back into its Gravitational Singularity form.

When the world is going completely mad, there's always the likes of Oscar Peterson and Dexter Gordon.

Hard to believe this performance is fifty plus years old. It has grown better with time. They will always be here with us through their music.

Oscar Peterson is transcendental in a multitude of ways. He gets you high without drugs. High on life itself. God has a special place for people like him.

You can put his playing right up there with the World's virtuoso players. His hands weren't just some of the quickest in piano history, his mind was even quicker & his improvisations are induplicable to... 80-90% of the World's greatest jazz pianists?? He was a very special musician, rare for not just craftsmanship & pride in his work but also for his congeniality to fellow musicians. He really cared about all music, not just his own.

And let's not forget the awesome bass player? Not mentioned in the credits, but almost certainly Sam Jones (Webster, Gillespie etc and of course Cannonball Adderley) who joined with Bobby Durham in the new trio (1966-70) following Ed Thipgen and Ray Brown. What a fabulous bass player he was. A lovely session altogether and so good to see two greats, Dexter and Oscar, working together with such swing.

Would anyone have any idea if this Dexter and Oscar 1969 video is available on DVD or CD? How can I get this? Help!!

I had the honor to personally meet Bobby Durham in a Jazz Club in Marostica in Italy. I remember we shook hands.

Dex is an amazing Tuneman, he gives it such feeling

I think both gentlemen were quite happy with each other. Especially Dexter was in a blowing mood. Right from the beginning of 'Polka Dots' he took some real harmonic risks and I really appreciate that.

Oscar Peterson, an illustrious, an extremely accomplished pianist.

Two Jazz Masters at work creating Art

My God! That run Oscar does at 25:47 is superb. What an incredible quartet of geniuses.

Some of the comments are mind blowing. Some are pleasant and some of line with sublimated messages. There's no words to describe the genus of this music. I'm still learning from these wonderful souls .

These cats always making me proud or my melanin.

Amazing musicians! Great selection of songs.

13:16 someone call the jazz fire department, they’re all literally on fire 🔥

Dex's tone is very cool!

awesome performance

非常に素晴らしい！

What gifted Artists!!

So much talent, class and cool in one room, amazing

E' vero! Oscar come nessun altro. Le sue mani sono le mani di Dio.

Here we go. Dexter and Oscar!!

Fantastic performance!

Straordinario. Pura gioia di vivere!!!

Great shots of Sam Jones working on bass. Really nice.

All superb masters! My goodness, the piano and sax solos on the last selection was utterly brilliant. Thanks for posting.

fantastic! The best pianist with the best saxophonist! Dexter is the KING of ballads!

Dexter carves out his niche here as one of the five or so best Tenor Ballad Players in Existence.........

Never even knew Oscar Peterson and Dexter Gordon played together. Amazing!

Very good concert. Thanks for uploading.

A different story! Dexter and Oscar!

In the first 2 pieces also the other two musicians are incredible...

So enjoyed this, this morning! Thanks!

Excellent upload...Thanks!

Awesome! THANKS SO MUCH FOR POSTING!!!!

Marvelous gigs!

THANK YOU

Magnífico.

Dexter, increíble !!! Todos excelentes

Great transition

Fantástico

To EP, the writer who wants to hear Peterson play slower, check out his album with Louis Armstrong. His playing is still beautiful but much more minimalist, totally in service to the soloist.

Oscar's humming makes it.

WOW! Awasome!

This is such a GREAT post - thank you so very much for sharing.

Extraordinary musicians! For my money, Oscar was a true genius, truly gifted by God

Canada represents with its best (other than Nelson Symonds) and Dexter, no disrespect Montreal, takes all the marbles. This last solo is beyond belief. When you use the term, chops, it refers to what Dexter's got, not what Oscar's got, which is flash

👏🏾👏🏾

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

The second tune is kind of best example of Oscar Petersons ars poerica. Not only he was the greatest player, but he also made the other members of the trio shine. Take the bassists: Ray Brown, here Sam Jones, later Dave Young and NHØP, and listen how the arrangements are set up like taylor made for them. Often different versions af the same tune over the decades illustrate this Take For example Reunion Blues. And the same true for drummers. Take Tin Tin Deo as an example, played by Ed Thipen, or Bobby Durham (the drummer in this record) and later Periods Lewis Nash. (Idont know if Martin Drew played it...) Sorry this comment getting too long ;-)

Shit!!! How these GREAT! Cats could swing/dance/sing a song! No one nowadays(read 2016!) can do that!

wow

Dex will always be in my top favorites and I don't mean this in a bad way, but if you look at the DG video clips from '63-4 he still looks so young and has that sly DG smile which we all loved. But only 5 years later, here he looks like he had aged 20 years. What happened? Was it addiction or bad health?

CBC production? Dexter was probably playing at the Town Tavern that week. We used to get a lot of shows like this when CBC was a power. I believe I see a young trombone player amongst the students in the audience.

I am inclined to agree with you after all. I can't recall any time when Dexter and Ben Webster were in Toronto at the same time and if the CBC had recorded it, I would surely have seen it. Thank you.

Jajaja como puede ser que halla seguido tocando siempre lo mismo…sus mismos licks año tras año…de una manera tan genial y magistral…me sigue emocionando…y disco tras disco…le he pillado haciendo mismas intros para diferentes temas…es su marca y punto…

Aqui esta la fuente de inspiracion y el alma de IRAKERE...

That first piano intro reminds me of Debussy. I think Oscar is brilliant but i wish he'd let his right hand move a bit slower. i think he did later

Now I started to plan a YT series about how a trio or any small group works. You have first to practice the groove nothing else. Young player often tend to listen ( and learn by ear) figures, motives scales. Yes this is the basics and useful not because you wanna imitate, thats never the goal. But you want to understand how the artists thinks. Having said that, I do listen the great artists with a different ear: how they feel together, whats the musical context, and how a composition is made up like one arch, having a beginning, top, then end. Again too long, sorry...

to the 28.... its going to be ok. man Dex makes a Selmer sound great !!!! there's zero negative here. all love

It's OP "singing" :)

'Dem feels!

Ice-cream wouldn't melt on the Panther.

Oscar raised swing to another level above Count Basie's Band or Ellington at Newport '56, but more than Art Tatum, his playing is often technique for technique's sake. Tatum keeps a musical idea going with every arpeggio and momentary key change. OP is to Tatum as Sonny Stitt is to Charlie Parker. Other pianists borrowed Oscar's swing and made it more accessible: Monty Alexander, Gene Harris, Benny Green. Bill Evans was another story altogether, bringing to the piano a lyrical sublimity, a pathos, an emotional depth and range that had seemed beyond the pianoforte's scope. And Dexter tells a story on tenor as authoritatively as Frank did with Nelson Riddle.
