What a breath of fresh air to hear epic talents like these play in front of an audience that isn't whispering one word or holding up their stupid phones!
I was there! Was 17 at the time at our beautiful Concertrtgebouw in Amsterdam . Was called Jazz at the Philharmonic. Started at midnight: Nachtconcert. Fantastic..
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!
@@ronaldunkel2681 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.
Normally, yes; but on that particular night, Ella's vocal chords sounded kinda hoarse, like she had a cold. Nevertheless, pitch-perfect and Oh! So Charming!
@@bersjo Ray Brown - Bass, Oscar Peterson - Piano, Ella Fitgerald -vocals were considered the worlds best at their instrument. Herb Ellis on Jazz guitar was in the top five. Ray and Ella were married at one time. Jo Jones was on drums.
Just an 18, almost 19 yo fellow here. Ever since I was 12, by chance of finding jazz-related content I got to enjoy a large variety of those great artist of what I see was the golden age of jazz. 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 started listening to jazz at about the same age. So much great content. Wish I had youtube growing up. Would buy a album because I heard one song straight no chaser! Keep on exploring. Then listen to Jerry Garcia
Good for you, I'm not a musician but i was blest with alot of music since very young. Past 5 years started to listen to all of Bachs 1000+ ,works. Listening to bach on classical guitar took me to . ANNA VIDOVIC. THEN TO ALL KINDS OF FRENCH CAFE MUSIC.. THEN LOOKING FOR BEZT RECORDINGS OF CLASSICAL, THEN GERSHRIN. AND TO NIGHT THE BEST JAZZ. AND THEN SOME SURF MUSIC
I was 18 when this concert took place and I was in awe of Norman Granz and Jazz at the Philharmonic. Sadly I never got to see Ella live but I did see Oscar Peterson with Ray Brown and Herb Ellis and later Louis Armstrong. How lucky we are to be able to see a concert like this in our homes in the 21st Century. Thank you so much.
And a reason to take a premium subscription. Best decision I ever made and best money spent. Watching performances like this ( especially magical for me because I play on this stage every day) or watching great documentaries, even old movies, it’s great and no commercials.
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!
I was also in Oslo,Norway when These Musicans +!Ella in the JATP (Jazz At The Philarmonic) and attended their concerts! 1956-1958! Wow!! It was so GREAT ! MUSIC!! (No electronic bullshit!!) The "old" (78yrs) norwegian!
I'M IN SKIEN LISTENING TO THIS. I grew up on 50's jazz when I was a tot! We had many Oscar Peterson albums, Miles, Bill Evans, Wes Montgomery, and of course, Ella!
That narrator was about to fly right off the stage! Oscar and his trio are superb, his chords and magic fingers on the keys, wow! What a great concert; Ella and her group, no matter who it is at the time, is always just the best ever -- great talents on that stage for this concert!
Yes, yes, thank you for your foresight in filming these concerts for people like me who never saw these fabulous artists. Now I enjoy them all the time and everyday, SYLVIA! 4/28/2021
@@bobdillaber1195 Isn't it just wonderful that someone recorded all these talented musicians? I play music everyday of my life. I grew up with a saxophone player in the house (my Dad). One sister played the piano, the other one plays the violin & piano. Music is my joy! SYLVIA! 7/4/21
@@ChannelMaster720 Yes it certainly is! I grew up during the big band Era and my father and his brothers traveled all around Minnesota with their band "Dillaber's Merrimakers" playing in different towns and that rubbed off on me. So I played too in my own bands while growing up. Music plays every day in my house and car! It paid for college and was how I met my wife and now , as an old man, have hundreds of vinyl albums of all kinds of jazz -- as well as 3 kids, 6 grandkids and one great grand kid ! I also got to go to a Louie Armstrong concert in 1956 when I was 16!!! Highlight of my life. I want to tell you about one the greatest and most inspiring performances I have ever seen - right here on utube. Google Al Hirt Pete Fountain Wolf Trap 79. Seeing those two masters working together in a such an amazing way inspires me more every time I watch it! And I've done that over and over since I found it several months ago. I hope you like it. Let me know what you think. Peace.
I'm 57 this year. I always liked Jazz. Didn't know of OSCAR PETERSON until a little over a week ago. HEARING a talent such as his is one perk but SEEING HIM PLAY ...IS AWESOME
In NYC in the mid-sixties, New York allowed big clubs to put on shows for high school prom kids (no alcohol); I took my date to see Ella at Basin Street East in either 64 or 65. What a memory 50 something years later.
What a gem this is!... The superb musicians, Queen Ella, glorious... And the absolutely terrific footage. I mean, this was 1957...the quality and artistry is just unbelievable! Thank you so much for posting and sharing with us.
Agreed, the camera work was first rate. The production team puts you right in the middle of the action. Love it. Plus, the audience was clearly very sophisticated. Remember when people dressed smartly to attend a concert..
When Ms. Fitzgerald is doing Louis Armstrong ... she does it with three things .. only very luckily come together on any stage .. natural grace untouchable elegance warmth .. what a gift . as well as the whole concert 🌹🌹
Listening to this lady of jazz with her harmonic cadence that evokes angels that transport me to sidereal worlds that take me to remember my childhood when a very dear cousin played his records in the company of his fellow students from the engineering faculty of the University. Central of Venezuela (UCV). A few months after that concert I was born in December 1957. How I feel this great lady Ella Fitzgerald in my soul. Honor to whom honor deserves "The Lady of Jazz"
Ray Brown! what amazing footage of all of these wonderful artists...love seeing Ray Brown's casual versatility, switching from bow to fingers and back was just excellent.
Just great to see. What a treasure. Ella in her prime. Great to see Stuff Smith handle that violin like the swing/blues instrument it never knew it could be. And Oscar...
So many great jazz artists so little time to enjoy their all. But it will be great to listen to the ones I do have time for. The FIRST lady of song was definitely in her prime. So glad I have been able to stick around to jam to some outstanding music. Salute to the Great Oscar Peterson trio. Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂
Drum solos aren't normally my thing, but I was very impressed with this one. You can tell he's someone who really enjoys what he does. He must have spent ages just figuring out what random noises he can make with his kit and how to work them into the music.
I'm from India and Jazz concerts are very rare these days here. In the late 70's / 80's/ early 90's We had annual Jazz Festival know as the Jazz Yatra and that had kept some like me intrested in Jazz. During the Pabdemic read a few books on Jazz History and started listening to recorded Jazz again. The good thing is this black and white Video puts faces to the names and it is an absolute pleasure. Special regards to the Sound Engineer who captured this audio with all the audio Engineering limitations of recording live music then.
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.
38:20 -- Oscar's devine touch, or is it distinctly human.... Best footage I've seen in ages, but to see my heroes in their early 30s is really topping it all.... So alert, yet relaxed and completely in tune... Long overdue if I may say so, boldly.
It's simple MY BROTHER... "GOD" IN THOSE HANDS. ONLY "GOD" can create such talent. I just turned 57 this year. It hasn't been 2wks since I asked my Pops about jazz,because I like it. Pops reply was OSCAR PETERSON..PERIOD. So I pull him up. Mind you, I never heard of him until then. Long story short..Oscar Peterson..The Best Jazz Pianist..EVER..
I was there also .. was a sophomore at Purdue University… that was a wonderful time for outstanding music in this country.. I tell my grandchildren they missed it all!
... and surely Oscar would choose the best available guys to accompany him : Herb Ellis and Ray Brown ... this guys are also majestuous players !!! What a treat oh boy !!!
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.
@@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)
joe jones is a percussive genius, just look at him and the fluidity and ease in his movements, I definitely think this is a true drum master and a brilliant musician.
Pa Pa Joe Jones is a genius drummer and has the biggest most genuine smile on earth . a total eclipse of the sun could occur if his smile floated by the sun .
Guitarist Herb Ellis is a absolute master of his instrument and defines what being a Rhythm guitarist is all about. i think from what i see he plays with his thumb with a pick and sometimes without a pick . soo.... smooth
All the musicians blow my mind at this concert, but Stuff Smith really blows my mind!! A jazz violinist!! And of course, Ella is the greatest. There will never be another one like her.
I was almost 3 years old at the time of this concert. I have some Oscar Peterson Trio and Ella Fitzgerald CD's which I absolutely love listening to but this is the first time that I watched this incredibly fantastic concert. Simply awesome!
I was only 9, and never heard it until my mid 20's when I discovered Jazz, and we didn't have much on TV, not of this calibre. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. But thanks to my Dad, I knew who Ella Fitzgerald was. What a lady, what a voice.
..Lucky you..I never had a chance to hear him on the live concert..but I adore many of his great recordings..he played in Slovenia in time before my birth..
Ella's set starts at: 46:00 "Just One Of Those Things" "I Can't Give You Anything But Love" "Lullaby Of Birdland" "Angel Eyes" "Love For Sale" "Dancing On The Ceiling" "April In Paris"
Peterson has a bit of Brazilian inspired music. I am curious if Brazilian Peterson fans who perhaps grew up with the real thing like his Brazilian inspired music or not.
ELLA was one of those true geniuses of which can be said: singing known pieces..SHE INVENTED NEW expressions from what would be commonly understood meanings in the lines...she ALWAYS finds something new,,new layers of meaning...
Wonderful to see and hear this amazing concert. What an amazing time for music. Thank you for posting this gem of a time capsule with these astounding performers.
This American Jazz from the 20th century...the greatest music to ever exist.
Agreed!
Let's not forget the blues

@@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)
joe jones is a percussive genius, just look at him and the fluidity and ease in his movements, I definitely think this is a true drum master and a brilliant musician.
Pa Pa Joe Jones is a genius drummer and has the biggest most genuine smile on earth . a total eclipse of the sun could occur if his smile floated by the sun .
This concert has several truly stunning moments.
Guitarist Herb Ellis is a absolute master of his instrument and defines what being a Rhythm guitarist is all about. i think from what i see he plays with his thumb with a pick and sometimes without a pick . soo.... smooth
I am so happy and grateful to see this in my lifetime. Thank you
All the musicians blow my mind at this concert, but Stuff Smith really blows my mind!! A jazz violinist!! And of course, Ella is the greatest. There will never be another one like her.
Unbelievable quality of sound...!!!!!!!
I was almost 3 years old at the time of this concert. I have some Oscar Peterson Trio and Ella Fitzgerald CD's which I absolutely love listening to but this is the first time that I watched this incredibly fantastic concert. Simply awesome!
Thank you! I firstly see Norman Granz speaking
The great Montrealer Oscar Peterson, what a musician and here with Ella. If paradise exist then these musicians will be playing.
Thanks to TH-cam and World of Jazz for this treasure. Does it get any better?
Utter greatness. I got to see Ella and Oscar and Ella and Joe Pass. Halcyon days the live long in my heart and in the past.
Thank for the chance to see this amazing performance....Love from Morocco
Thank You, thank you....marvelous, incredible...my superlatives are inadequate
This combo is out this world!
WOW, what a treat!! OP and co, with Ella as the cherry on top 🥰
Peterson, best pianist EVER! Saw Brown in concert in '93 in SF! Purest jazz combo............THE. TRIO!!!
I was only 9, and never heard it until my mid 20's when I discovered Jazz, and we didn't have much on TV, not of this calibre. Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era. But thanks to my Dad, I knew who Ella Fitzgerald was. What a lady, what a voice.
This is a treasure! What a trip to have been in that audience, in that beautiful city!!
I’ll never forget Oscar Peterson’s concert in Barcelona in the late seventies, ever since he’s one of my favorite pianist!!
..Lucky you..I never had a chance to hear him on the live concert..but I adore many of his great recordings..he played in Slovenia in time before my birth..
A delightful pleasure! Thank you!
Their version of "A Gal in Calico" is one of my earlier Jazz memories and I still love every part of it. Great to have the whole concert.
Ella, Ella, Ella!!!! God's blessing to us!
This is some of the best playing ever. Absolutely incredible musicianship!

Recently discovering OSCAR PETERSON. I'm still in Awe.
Peterson has a bit of Brazilian inspired music. I am curious if Brazilian Peterson fans who perhaps grew up with the real thing like his Brazilian inspired music or not.
Jazz is real and a good one of those who have been around for years
Such as a terrific performance! It's soooo coooooooool!!!
Masters, all Masters of Music! Thank you!
So nobody is going to talk about when she mimics Armstrong tone so flawlessly on 53:52 ????
Humble, masterful artists with a spellbound audience.
The audio quality is amazing, this is a beautiful piece of history
She brings Joy in my soul. Life is worth living when listening to her voice. Thank you. She imitates L. Armstrong.
ELLA was one of those true geniuses of which can be said: singing known pieces..SHE INVENTED NEW expressions from what would be commonly understood meanings in the lines...she ALWAYS finds something new,,new layers of meaning...
absolutely insane I was 15 years old living in Amsterdam and the jazz never left me.
