Il più grande di tutti!!!! joao gilberto diceva che un bravo musicista doveva suonare con poche note, ma OSCAR poteva toccare qualsiasi tasto e lo faceva diventare armonia....grazie per essere esistito.....gigi
This is my all time second favorite recording of this song. The first is the OP version he did about this same time in West Germany will Nils, Herb Ellis, and Ed Thigpen. THAT is an epic track. This is so cool. Thanks. Op was the very best there ever was. Period.
Didn’t Nils also play with Bill Evans? I think I’d prefer it if the guitarist played on an acoustic guitar. Much prefer the sound. Personal choice of course.
Thank you so much for posting this - Ronnie Scott's Club in the 1970s - just incredible. I listened to OP many times but also Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz (the evening I qualified as a doctor), Grappelli and Milt Jackson and Art Blakey and the Buddy Rich Orchestra and more ... all brilliant. And Ronnie's jokes which I really liked .....still do! As students we were allowed in for £1 - before 9.30 with an NUS card! All macro talented and at their prime.
Oscar's playing is so fluid, with perfect dynamics. But also, that's some pretty decent guitar by Kessel. My dad took me to see Peterson play an outdoor concert at Old Orchard outside Chicago. I was too young to appreciate it. I've come to learn why my dad loved him so much.
***** Underrated by who??? Honestly, I've never heard the words "underrated" & "Oscar Peterson" used in the same sentence. Anyone who knows anything about jazz, regards him as arguably the greatest jazz pianist of all time. (with the possible exception of Art Tatum)
He originally modelled his own style on Art Tatum, but as good as Tatum was, Peterson was even better. Phenominal technique. I've seen some of the piano transcripts. It seems he played equally in any key!!
+glen brady I disagree. I think Tatum has slightly better technique, & played a bit cleaner. (especially when playing "stride") Even Peterson said Tatum was his "God". He said Tatum was intimidating to play with, & he didn't really enjoy playing with him. (but still like & envied him as a person & musician) But both guys were on a level that was/is just so far beyond anyone else, the difference between them is negligible.
@Oreon207 ; Well said. My father was a Jazz guitarist & spent the majority of his life in the pursuit of Jazz. He took me to see his mentor, Joe Pass who was touring with Oscar at the time. First time I had been to Blues Alley in Georgetown. Watching them play, being in such close proximity to them.....After all these years, I have yet to find words, written or spoken to communicate their effect on me. Prior to this I had not shown interest in jazz & although he never mentioned it (continued)-
Great!! I'd never seen videos of Peterson playing with Kessel. They had been together in the 50's. This was evidently recorded after Herb Ellis had become a studio musician and Peterson had just met Niels Pedersen after recording "Great Connection" with him. Superb, simply superb...
@1954tele ; (continued) I now realize that he so wanted to share & impart his knowledge of both Jazz & Guitar to his son. My Dad passed away in 1983. I'd like to think he's up there now, in good company, doing what he loved most-....(If so) Dad, I'll never have your talent but it won"t be for lack of passion. Love you...
I was surprised to see Barney Kessel playing guitar with Oscar Peterson. Oscar usually plays with Herb Ellis on guitar. then there was Kessel, Ellis, and Byrd... 3 guitar greats playing together.
wat a trio this is.three monsters at work here.barney and nhop were perfect with oscar as was herb ellis.amazing how much swing you can generate without drums.
All I can say is "DAMN"!!! What a great performance!!! Oscar Peterson was such a consummate pianist. Even though he often emulated the great Art Tatum, Oscar had his own unique, bluesy style. He will be forever missed. RIP.
This was recorded way after Herb left to be a studio musician. When Ellis left the group (to also deal with his drinking problem) drummer Ed Thigpen joined the band. That lasted until '65 and then OP hired Cannonball's bass/drums. This tour in '74 was simply not to use a drummer.
Again,another instance of where the camera man doesn’t get it right..the guitar is soloing and he’s barely seen full front playing his instrument or seen at all..
@golsno147 I have to disagree. Oscar definitly has his own unique sound. he takes songs and makes them his own.Oscar definitly injected an individual feel if he is able to have his own transcriptions.Listen to how everyone else plays tenderly than listen to Oscar and tell me you cant tell the difference.He completely reharmonizes songs. If thats not injecting individuality in a song I dont know what is.
These guys where all probably high as fuck when they played this music live, or maybe not. Just cuz I am, doesn't mean they where. It just sounds cool as fuck, that's all I know.

Легко,красиво и ,конечно, супер виртуозно !! Это же - ОСКАР !!
Oscar Peterson ,one of the greatest musicians to have ever lived .Playing with one of the greatest guitarists.Brilliant
What a trio on this fabulous Michel Legrand's tune. He was himself and also a great jazz pianist
Simply the best!❤

Perfection never gets old
"See What Happens" What A Great Song with the one and Only GREAT Oscar Peterson!! RIP
Beautiful... beyond what I can comprehend in the moment. Can't believe I hadn't heard Oscar Peterson earlier.
?? Because you're an evolving Led Zepellin-ite? 😆
The Greatest wish I would have got to see my father play with him in 1947-49
😎😎

GENIUS no one will ever match any of these musicians.
Música maravilhosa do Michel Legrand e interpretação magistral deste trio,
I can see joy in his face. He was truly talented, and loved what he did with all his heart. It really shows in his playing :)
Wow, my ears have been blessed
Not only the ears, but your soul, certainly too!
если на душе горько -----послушай Петерсона----сразу улыбнёшься----хочется ЖИТЬ!!!!ГЕНИЙ!!!!
Awesome rendition of a great song.

Love the quote from The Gypsy somewhere in there "! Great to hear this.
Nothing To Add Here To Comments. Just Marvellous !. Thank Goodness For This Clip .
Doesn’t Get Any Better.
It just doesn't get any better than this

Carl Baumeister what year ?
this is the best oscar solo I've found so far
This is so great...and classy,
That's some of the best "inside" playing I've ever heard...
The greatest musician of all time. He had such a pleasant personality too.
I think he is a very underrated pianist.

maybe underrated, as in not as well known as should be, not undervalued among those who know jazz

lovely music,thank you for sharing.
Sensational.TY kacsalin for posting and canadapisces for sharing.
acredite e é.... o jazz é universal mas seus musicos pioneiros são eternamente celestiais...
Incredible Artistry! Oscar Peterson was the best!
Of course!
Great!!
I'd never seen videos of Peterson playing with Kessel. They had been together in the 50's. This was evidently recorded after Herb Ellis had become a studio musician and Peterson had just met Niels Pedersen after recording "Great Connection" with him.
Superb, simply superb...
Yes, OP was the best. Here he has Barney Kessel, the best swing era guitarist and NHOP - incredible bassist.
O céu só pode ser um lugar incrível com Oscar Peterson tocando o dia inteiro.
Maravilhoso.

Watch What Happens by Michel Legrand from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg."
This is on his 1970 album “Tristeza on Piano”, which is my favourite Oscar Peterson record.
Liam Watson In a slightly different version I believe.
@@nickvledder Yes. And you can dance to it too!
@@liamwatson5125 I will certainly try
Wonderful guys.
So used to this as more a bossa nova but it definitely works as swing. Outstanding!
What is this this tho? I'd love to find a sheet music transcription
I missed the legendary flute solo. 😔
I was surprised to see Barney Kessel playing guitar with Oscar Peterson. Oscar usually plays with Herb Ellis on guitar. then there was Kessel, Ellis, and Byrd... 3 guitar greats playing together.
Man, thanks for posting this. I love the bass scoring.
God damn, he's my favorite
It's Michel Legrand's song THÈME DE ROLAND CASSARD, from the french picture LES PARAPLUIES DE CHERBOURG, directed by Jacques Demy
Exactly. On purpose, one of the best original sound tracks I've have ever known.
wat a trio this is.three monsters at work here.barney and nhop were perfect with oscar as was herb ellis.amazing how much swing you can generate without drums.
Canada's greatest export!
Peter Ashford Justin beiber is a lightweight
I hope that was heavy sarcasm +Roy Sunshine
Glenn Gould, Diana Krall.
Diana is very good yes, but Glenn @ Oscar are in another League O Galaxy. Simply the best there've ever been
I'd rather have OP than maple syrup
Gracias por compartirlo.
All I can say is "DAMN"!!! What a great performance!!! Oscar Peterson was such a consummate pianist. Even though he often emulated the great Art Tatum, Oscar had his own unique, bluesy style. He will be forever missed. RIP.
Supremos, únicos
What a great and jazzy version of this song.
Wow! He swings it!..... Check out Errol Garner's.... different beat .....but It is lovely!
Una maravilla
He is a great master of Jazz !
i saw him playing in Ronnie Scotts in 1974 - probably not this night.
Gwwaaaaaaahhh Dammn . THIS IS AWESOME!
oscar is the best pianist I've ever seen
Amazing. Bravo. Maestro. Mister Peterson. Thank.
the best!!
Barney kessel really stole the show, stunned
3 giants. Great..
Just Wow. What a musician. Quite close to genius
Gênio!
love the jazzy version of this song!
3:58 kills me
Man, Barney Kessel was really into it, too. I have wondered why God gave millions of people musical talent, and I cannot even play the washboard.
Did anybody else catch
the Hollywood Bowl show in the eighties
when Peterson
and Herbie played
together?
This was recorded way after Herb left to be a studio musician. When Ellis left the group (to also deal with his drinking problem) drummer Ed Thigpen joined the band. That lasted until '65 and then OP hired Cannonball's bass/drums. This tour in '74 was simply not to use a drummer.
sometimes i´m happy ;)
@TasteTheGold LOL good one!
Look at his face! It's as if he was being taken over by a supernatural force when he plays.
Great piece
He probably was. Read "A Trip Into the Supernatural" or the updated release "Charmed By Darkness."
You can tell Barney inspired Oscar to pull out all the stops on that one.
The 2 dislikes are those with no fingers!
@oscarpeterson85 Definately
Did his head hit the piano at the end?
Hello
Oscsar il piu' grande
Again,another instance of where the camera man doesn’t get it right..the guitar is soloing and he’s barely seen full front playing his instrument or seen at all..
I can't stand how oscar always comes back in after the other instruments solo and just kill what they did 🎹 🔪😁
what is this number? I know it but cannot recall the title
@golsno147 I have to disagree. Oscar definitly has his own unique sound. he takes songs and makes them his own.Oscar definitly injected an individual feel if he is able to have his own transcriptions.Listen to how everyone else plays tenderly than listen to Oscar and tell me you cant tell the difference.He completely reharmonizes songs.

Who does this now ?
Nem Deus agradou a todos
My fingers got shy after seing this... oh my poor piano beggining level ...
Should all have been arrested for being that good
.damn....
lucky
@Karlajazz1 - get your staff paper out and do it yourself. Haha.
is he was high hed probably played half as fast :D
These guys where all probably high as fuck when they played this music live, or maybe not. Just cuz I am, doesn't mean they where. It just sounds cool as fuck, that's all I know.
The Eclectic Spot loll
JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!
Just witness the best... apart from Tatum.
this is great, but nothing compares to erroll garner's version of this song
Alas, yet again technically brilliant but FAR TOO FAST!
@zygomatrix technique ok??? you gotta be kidding... this is a god on the piano, even classical greats would come to watch him play
