- Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass (1980s): Source is VHS recording from same period. Superb musicianship with evident mutual respect! Uploaded in honor of Dad (1926-2012): Dedicated husband and father, physician, musician and more.
Imagine what kind of society we'd have if THIS was considered the popular music.
The only guy who could hold his own with Joe Pass, or with Oscar Peterson, depending on how you want to look at it.
You should check out Niels-Henning Ørsted Petersen - he definitely could hold his own.
@@mallanac Came here to say this. This guy never heard of NHØP.
Exactly!
It's crazy how Joe stays loose and comfortable, not getting rattled or swamped, or dragging, in all that piano and high tempo. He's just all ears, hears it and plays it.
i dreak of that grounded knowledge , not having to think ... insanity if you have to eat or breathe
Once upon a time, there were these two masters, one played the piano, the other played the guitar.
If there is such a thing as "mastery" we are priviledge to it in recordings like this. For me as an intermediate sort of musician ... at least I know it can be achieved. Humankind , despite it's weaknesses , is capabable of such heights. Simply astounding that mere mortals have attained this level of expression in one lifetime. Magnificent! cheers..
To play guitar in a duet with Oscar Peterson and rise to that level of wonderfulness is truly unbridled excellence!!
“Beyond category “ Dukes praise not mine !
These two musicians are missed by many people.
I can't listen as fast as these geniuses play!
As good as Peterson is, Pass stuck to him like super-glue.
Joe Pass is not of this world...hope he's stlll killing in his nex one.
Joe Pass was a Titan of Guitar
😯😯😯😯😯Astonishing at the peak of his genius with that 6 string hollow body!!!
Joe Pass to me was the greatest solo guitarist in the jazz genre
Very well put, Simon Beckford.
i was lucky enough to see Joe Pass perform in a dinner club inside some guys house in half moon bay, ca just before he died. he couldn't get the house amp to work so he asked me to help, as i was sitting in front of him ... that jeorsee accent was thick man especially with the choice "french" being spoken about said amp!
a memory i have burned in my mind forever ...what a night
Joe Pass throwin it down with Oscar Peterson. Pass is fearless ...
Peterson'e smile is priceless. Two genuinely sweet guys, these two. It shows. As for the music, well... Would you expect anything less than perfection from those cats ?
I saw Oscar and Joe perform together with Ella and Basie - yeah together and in duo's and trio's and with the band. I thank God my father gave me the gift of playing and loving jazz. When performed at this level it is such a pure expression of the human spirit - it is what is great about being alive! - The pure joy on their faces says it all!
This was back when the TV networks had great talent on at least once or twice a week and people who would normally never be exposed to such great music could see and experience the greats. Now it's all crappy reality tv shows and infomericials.
Enlighten the masses...? no thanks said the NWO.
Crappy reality shows... Hmmm, hopefully the star of one of them will be getting fired, himself, real soon.
so true ... TV could be(and almost was?) such a powerful medium to educate and enlighten ... and money and greed has turned most of it into crap
I AGREE WHOLEHEARTEDLY! SYLVIA - FL 7/15/2019
Couldn't have said it better myself!
This plays in Heaven's lobby. Live.
I’ve listened to these guys for decades and had the good fortune to see Joe Pass at Ronnie Scott’s in the 1970’s. Here’s my comment. Just look at the joy on their faces, isn’t this part of what it’s about, unbridled spontaneity and pure joy at connecting with another musician and an audience at the same time. Wonderful!
I keep waiting for them to stop and break out laughing at their timing an synchronicity ..
Is this improve? Or what?
@@MikeSheasheaDtree yes, most certainly
My God holy Jesus I can't believe what I'm hearing
They are the Einsteins of music.
this is staggering virtuosity and improvisation
Thank GOD these geniuses lived in the era of sound recording! Can you imagine them having never recorded or videoed?
I think about that a lot. There aren’t many live performances of django Reinhardt and I wish he would’ve been recorded in video playing
Now think of all of the music we never heard and will never hear :(
without recording they never would have become the players they were
Could you imagine being right there in the room with them, hearing them live as they play?
@@Johnny-mp2ew Johnny brother, you take your thinking to the next level. I love it, bro.
Two improvisational giants doing what they were born to do. Wow!
Two virtuoso artists jamming with each other. Bliss!
Jaw dropping performance! R.I.P. Oscar and Joe. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Two of the greatest!
musical talent of this kind belonged to men such as Johann Sebastian Bach and a few others. Peterson and Pass were undoubtedly others. That power of improvisation is amazing.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
Well that was ridiculously great. Gotta go practice now
Oh Oscar! There was nobody like you! Just phenomenal!
Doesn't get much better than this. No player could swing it like Oscar (everything he did would swing) Joe Pass will be remembered as one of the greats.
Joe pass IS one of the greats...
Cool Daddy Joe n That jazz guitar
@@clarencenatomagan9413 Exactly!
mesmerizing
The String Master Duo.
The Peterson Pass Duo.
Whatever you want to call them, they are
in life and legend the true role models for humanity.
DXR All they were missing was NHØP and it would've been a massacre.
How about "THE duo"?
@5:18 oscar is like, "oh no you didn't!"
Nothing like this on TV anymore... Thanks for posting it
had tickets to see them in Boston, but Oscar couldnt make it, so Joe played solo (music hall in Boston) he was amazing
Even the greatest rock players can't touch this and I am a huge Hendrix fan...
There were quite a lot of programmes like this on TV in the 70's. I sat transfixed.
Proof that we aren't all created equal. God, I miss these two, along with Clark and NHOP.
Oscar has such a big grin in the beginning I couldn't help but smile. They were having so much fun here
eeee la Madonna ..... questi due sono uno spettacolo !!
At about 5:00 Peterson and Pass start playing as fast as humans can play, and they smile and smile as they listen to each other.
Their interplay at 3:07 is otherworldly! This video is a real gem.
Holy wow! A ludicrous display of musical excellence!
Two master musicians who are the epitome of world class...Oscar Peterson's hands were like magic as they slid across those keys man...he was phenominal
my dad loved Oscar Peterson-to me this is like the dance of the gods:)
Joe Pass The Greatest ever.
Jaw-dropping talent , once in a lifetime performance !!! You will never ever hear this live again !!
I really don't think I've seen any better than this! Anywhere!
This is about as best as it could get..absolutely musical Heaven..😎👍🎶🎶🎶🎶
Oscar and Joe complimented each other. They were simply the best musicians in the world.
Unbelievable!!!
Oscar Peterson is great. And Joe Pass... They haven't invented a word for that talent!
12 Minutes of Pure Heavenly Ecstasy! Long Live Jazz
beautiful music by two late greats of jazz. they will be missed, though we have them still with us by tape.
Simply the best duet ever.
Catharsis has been reached and acknowledged.
Incredible. Now these guys had mastered their instruments. Love it.
Pure Magic!😊😊😊😊😊😊🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
45 seconds in and my mind was blown!
Great to see all the appreciation for Oscar and Joe, who I unfortunately never saw live. They were at an unbelievable level of musicianship and musical telepathy. I read that Oscar used to practice 18 hours a day. Sounds like it.
I thought he practiced 48 hours a day, taking account how he sounds...
To me it seems surreal! I watch and listen to them play so seemingly effortless and so perfect!
AMAZING! So passionate, and creative, and swings at that tempo. As a piano player many years traveled a couple hours to hear Joe and Oscar, on arriving found out Oscar was not able to make the gig, Joe p[ayed solo, dissapoint to learn, but Joe was amazing
....ma che bravi!!
Joe Pass ed Oscar Peterson?
Due Grandi Artisti del Jazz, due " Big," di Elevata Statura Internazionale, due Grandi Artisti che hanno coronato e costellato con la loro Arte il firmamento della Musica Jazz.
Ascoltarli insieme, come in questa occasione, è una eccezionale opportunità per gli amanti del Jazz che avvertono, sulla loro pelle, quella tipica ed incontenibile sensazione universale dell'anima che si chiama "Emozione"!!
E ti pare poco??
I peli delle braccia diventano "ispidi", resti lì ad ascoltarli , incantato ed a bocca aperta, senza dire una parola, per l'incontenibile "emozione" che avverti nel cervello e nell'anima e dici a te stesso sottovoce: Santo Cielo, che meraviglia!!
Ma che bravi, bravi veramente.
Le mie più sincere congratulazioni.

.......but how good !!
Joe Pass and Oscar Peterson?
Two Great Jazz Artists, two "Big," of High International Stature, two Great Artists who crowned and studded the firmament of Jazz Music with their Art.
Listening to them together, as on this occasion, is an exceptional opportunity for Jazz lovers who feel, on their skin, that typical and irrepressible universal sensation of the soul called "Emotion" !!
And it seems a little to you?
The hairs of the arms become "bristly", you stay there to listen to them, enchanted and open-mouthed, without saying a word, for the irrepressible "emotion" you feel in your brain and soul and say to yourself in a whisper: Good heavens, wonderful!!
But what good, really good.
My sincere congratulations.

'It was my great good fortune to see Oscar and Joe perform at a small nightclub in North Vancouver, B.C., back in the '80s -- one of the greatest musical experiences of my life.
The tempo is dragging a bit. No, wait, you can't travel faster than the speed of light.
Is he rushing or dragging?
Always love the joy on Oscar's face.
I could listen to these two for ever !
Amazing!!! Oscar Peterson & Joe Pass together!!! Oscar Peterson had a pretty voice! He often hummed playing pianos with very low deep voices..., but his speaking voices & singing voice are pretty & much higher than ones I was familiar with! His piano play is so amazing! And it looked like as if he was having an ecstasy watching & listening to Joe Pass playing his guitar! So funny!
I seem to hear some of the influnces of musical history being quoted and embelished even. Django Rheinhart , Nat King Cole , Art Tatum.. Who carries the tradition of the great river now? I hate to be judgemental of musics.. but sooo much contemp[oray pop is sooooo overated (yet self absorbed). These men were freaking GIANTS. Yet so humble at the same time. There are no words... Just listen and thank the creator you had ears. be well all..
Pure Art!!!
These guys are really good. I never listened them before, but I can appreciate their music.
You can't fool me, that's God in an Oscar Peterson costume.
Those two are a gift of God to mandkind
Of course God himself would love to dress up in an Oscar Peterson costume.
Two legends showing how it's done...incredible.
Amazing ❤
Absolutely speechless. Thank God it’s recorded
Wow so much talent so glad we can still see them and hear how great they really were 2 of the best😎👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for posting. Magical.
Speechless! ...with tears in my eyes 🙏🏽
Wonderful. Thanks for this!
Amazing 👏
The greatest jazz guitarist to walk the planet,Joe Pass,the greatest jazz pianist to walk the planet,Oscar Peterson. I saw Joe Pass perform many times but I regret never seeing Oscar Peterson.
I love it when they throw musical expressions at each other
And I love their faces while they’re doing that even more!
As you're watching this you realise you're shaking your head.
Yes. Only a very few could be on the same list as Bach. These guys make that very short list.
