      We might have exchanged glances during this incredible concert Theresia. I was also there at age 16 and it was for me the first time that i saw Oscar and his sidemen and Ella live. I remember the large distinctive/mesmerising black & white advertising posters plastered across Amsterdam. A year later, at the same venue i saw Art Blakey and the Jazz Messenger which really blew my mind. So “hello” again Theresia, stay safe, specially at our ages, from this horrible Covid. Enjoy this trip down memory-lane (now April 2021) & Cheers!

      Super. I was there several times later on. Indeed it was a Wonderful experience. I am a big jazz fan and...also love Bach Chopin and lots of others.
      By the way at this moment my favourite pièce is Sleeping Dancer Sleep on from Art Blakey and super Lee Morgan. (Like someone in Love) You tube is great..

    I first heard Ella in 1957 in Moscow, USSR. I was 17. Someone had given me a record to listen to. I was so shaken that I crawled under our huge dining table and stayed there till the end of the record. A week later a friend gave me an issue of America, a magazine published and printed in the USA for the USSR on an exchange basis for the Soviet Life Magazine sold in the States. The magazine carried a huge article about Ella. It was the best gift I have ever received. Now, in 2023 she still remains my goddess, unsurpassed and worshiped.

Ella, out of all of those just slowly stole my heart. Never heard a voice feel so gracious, so full in itself, so cozy and soothing all along. Some songs even getting that far into me I can't help but cry of how much I end up enjoying it. Really grateful for all of those who have preserved her legacy this well and letting me and everyone discover such an amazing singer as her. Hope you all people the greatest day you can have.

    I don't remember the exact year, but sometime in the mid to late seventies I had the privilege of seeing Oscar Peterson, Joe Pass, Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen, and Ella Fitzgerald at the Vancouver Playhouse. I regret to say that I was in my twenties and new to jazz at the time, and didn't fully appreciate what I was seeing and hearing. I dearly wish I could go back in time with my 71 year old ears and see that concert again, and experience it for what it really was. Fortunately the music lives on, and thanks to posts like this, I get to hear it with the appropriate awe and unclouded pleasure it deserves. Heavenly!

    Dear Team of "WORLD OF JAZZ"! GREATEST THANKS FOR THE GREAT MUSIC! PLEASE MORE Mr. OSCAR PETERSON!!!!! He is the best for ever! I had a great honour to meet him and dedicated and presented him several of my works. Mr. Peterson praised the music and personally placed these works in his own archive in the National Library of Canada in 1997.

    How fantastic to have had this broadcast on TV. In the UK, the only live musicians we saw on TV were "variety artists". The BBC considered jazz to be "below stairs" so was rarely if ever shown. Thank you for giving us the chance to watch it.

    • @harri2626
      @harri2626 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@michaelrossi6733 That's true, Michael, but certainly not as long as this concert and certainly not as early as 1958. The "archive" you refer to is presumable the Jazz 625 programmes which weren't broadcast until the mid 1960s from memory and have been rebroadcast off and on since the 1980s. Weekly jazz on radio was usually late at night until the 1990s and are still few and far between on BBC.

      @@harri2626 I'd certainly agree that there has been nowhere near enough on the BBC in terms of jazz. Radio 3 seems to be flying the flag a bit, but even there I'd appreciate more. About the archive, yes I was referring to Jazz 625 but also plentiful other recordings a friend who works in the BBC archives showed me (although indeed the majority of those were from the 1960s onwards)

    Everyone goes on about Oscar Peterson and every bit of it s true if not more. He speaks for himself as is in a league of his own. However, that drummer was beyond amasing. All he needed to do after was spin on his head. I could have watched an hour long on his diverse rhythmical drumming taking one down an exploration of beats in all its glory. I don’t think even the best of today’s drummers are as good as him and should use him as their only mentor. I also loved the way that guitarist slapped his guitar but I think some of the great sound was coming from the drummer to say the least. The violin had such a different feel to just ear exposed to classical and was music to my ears. Loved all the instrumentalist. All at the top height of their game and would put today’s instrumentalist to the test if not with some be too much for them. What a concert played by geniuses of music. As for the second half with Ella - well I don’t want to write too much. This must be one of the greatest concerts ever if there was. 😊❤
