Only a handful of bass players in jazz history could hold their own with Oscar. Pedersen was the absolute best!
One of those rare symbiotic relationships where both enable each other to soar freely while pushing each other to do their very best work. My favorite duo of all time!
Absolutely unreal
I come back to this recording at least once a month. There's never been anybody quite like Oscar. Wish I had been blessed enough to have met and learned from him in person. Hope you're chilling up there in the afterlife, grandmaster Peterson! We all miss you so much ♥️
Фантастический музыкант,и я вот думаю где он там в другой реальности,в музыкальном раю??Возможно воплощён вновь на Земле,но зачем ему снова в нашу"тюрьму',бьюсь в догадках!Я во сне кручу зти комп-ции,просто мурашки!Обожаю!!!
I have written it before and will repeat, If you dont feel well and happy after listen to this two UNIC artist you have missed something in life..
It must be so nice to just imagine what you want to hear and just be able to play it!
"So nice"? 🤣🤣🤣😭😍
I can’t even hear what he’s playing it’s so hard
It’s nice when the hand just do it. They are Nike hands.
The secret is: practice, practice, practice. 😉😁😁😁
@@shamrock3639 the 3 key secrets to success... love that quote. So true
If you're doing a duo with Oscar Peterson you know you're one of the best. These two are legendary.
Absolutely !!
Peterson & Pedersen. How could it be better?
when I hear this capture a strong homesickness not only for Canada but for America and the people and landscapes there
just like Niels Henning can evoke a feeling of something uniquely inherently Danish but also encapsule the whole of Scandinavia with its landscapes and light in a few mellow singing lines
These two men were simply the best. And even better than the great music they were playing was to see the way they enjoyed what they did.
That... rocked my world. Glad to be in an age where I can experience this... on a planet where this happened.
Truly one of the greatest pianists who ever lived. I hear a lot of great player who inspire me, and then there is Maestro Oscar Peterson.
A real Canadian treasure
Fabulous duo. Pederson compliments Oscar fantastically
Nils Henning Orsted Pederson was really on of a kind - an absolutely solitaire!
les plus grands JAZZPLAYERS reunis un grand moment de bonheur👍
This classy duo is a gift from heaven!
The North Star of Jazz.
I have been a lifelong fan of OP and NHOP. Great artistry....Great swing! I think we have to add a note of appreciation to the recording engineers and videographers who captured these images and sounds for our enjoyment 40 years later!
Undoubtedly true. The sound fidelity is so astoundingly preserved.
that´s is Musik and feeling😇
These two, as a double bass and piano player they are currently my favorite players of all time. Everything about them is something to idolize, the passion they have for music to showcase what it truly can be. Guys it is up to us to keep this alive, great music like this has no reason to fade!
These 2 together are the best of all time..
There are just not enough words to fully compliment OSCAR and NIELS for such totally enthralling performances of their ultimate lalents
NHOP must have been the Nemesis a la Art Tatum for all other bassplayers during the 70s and 80s...... And guitarists to......Looking at this almost 40 years later, its still totally breathtaking...
40+ years ago, even when you wrote it
The Gentleman of Jazz
Niels had Oscar's back. A great dynamic duo.
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.
I will never know what the lord put into this man, but I know exactly what came out. It’s plain to see. The ability to produce any emotion at any given time
In sad moments of my life, i think about this: If such a miracle like Oscar exists, then anything can happen, anything possible.
Thank God he wasn't aborted. How many other Oscar Peterson's have been.
really
I was beginning to think that having Art Tatum, Oscar Peterson, and Keith Jarrett in the same century was signaling the end of the world -- that God wanted to get in all the incredible, mind-boggling creating he could before he pulled the plug.
@@danwaldis4553 All three of those you’ve just lsted annouced the beginning of a new era in finding the right keys ...
The only sad part is that, most of so called “White Canada” still doesn’t have a clue who OP was, let alone what kind of a *Giant* he was. Some call it *Rasism*, I’ll feel blessed and just listen to his playing ...
@@skoch9995 You might have something there. And it's definitely sad.
Oscar Peterson - Total mastery of a beautiful language of Jazz. We miss you.
These two men were gods on earth with what they chose to do. Players that want to learn jazz, it can’t get any better. Listen to these two closely, over and over it will help unwind a little the miracles Oscar and Neils did every time they played, never the same way twice. So wherever the giants of their craft, are now , miracles do happen. I will carry these artists in my heart forevermore.
absolutely agree
Привет всем западным и остальным дж.музыканьам,Оскар и Неилс не от мира сего,слушаю ежедневно,а когда сплю,то этот концерт прокручивается во сне,я клавишник,понимающий всю уникальность вариаций Оскара,меня дрожь берет...Привет с Донбасса,где с 14г.идет гибридная войнушка...
I, m enchanted: O.P. & N.H.O.P. a real fireworks in jazz music!
If I haven't said this already here last year, and my comment might have sunk way down to the bottom of the last page, I'll tell you this: I WAS THERE!!!!! Later on I had this on video, and now it's at my fingertips on You Tube. Hail to our present day technology. Thank you "World of Jazz"!!
What's the name of the first song they're playing?!?! Its been recking my brain for months now...I appreciate your help!
@@reginaldmoses2273I also had the same experience you had, with difficulties to recall this tune name. I remembered vaguely something like "good pal" or "nice fellow" and googled but haven't found such a standard, but then, I noticed it's up there is the video description : " Tracklisting among others: Old Folks....." OLD FOLKS, that's what it is :-)
@@reginaldmoses2273 "Old Folks"
Wow... Oscar was a genius
Even after his stroke, Oscar was heads and shoulders above many celebrated pianists.
Peterson's time is so perfect we should all set our clocks by it.
And a SMILE from NHOP at 10:50!!
And again at 52:39 😊
They just had fun and got paid doing it !! The applause for a job well done ...Priceless ! Thank God for Hands that have that amazing life giving dexterity !!
It just amazing to hear how much he put in-between the melody. And How effortlessly he does it. He just heard on a different level, and was able to play it.
The greatest jazz bass player ever - accompanying the greatest jazz pianist!
i agree but another great bass player is Cleveland Eaton
ted tedsen A joke?
no?
I totally agree!
I agree that those two are the best ever!
It's hard not to smile when you sound so good!
Paul Jackson .....I’m clapping in isolation here in midtown manhattan.... and missing my regular Monday night jazz at Kitano around the corner. This is indeed a treat. Miss Jenny
Yes, that would be hard not to smile. Definitely a kind of sh*t eating grin, too! :)
Pedersen was a vastly under acclaimed bassist! We all know about Ron Carter and Ray Brown et al. but he really blends with Oscar
WOW he can certainly tickle the ivories. FABULOUS 😊😄👍👏

2019: Oscar Peterson sending his blessings to the loyal Jazz community around the world
This is a Bass player! I've been playing since 1967, Niels has blown my doors off. Been studying him and one day we will JAM!!
I also love the bass. However, I cannot play one ... yet
There really aren’t words for how good these two are!
I went into a record shop in 1957 at ten years old and asked the guy to let me hear some jazz, I wish he had let me hear some of this.
what did he play for you
What a perfect jazz pianist! And compositions! 💜
You're burning my ears here, Peterson. At this stage I'm seriously starting to fear that a spontaneous self combustion is imminent. Too much is happening here, man.
Too much, too perfect. You're all over the place.
You go where no man has gone before.
Oscar, the best of all.
Two of the best.
Beautiful !! Oscar and Niels ,what a great combination .
Oscar P. and Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen at their very best. Love it, ...Kai Jørgensensen, Denmark
Jeg husker dem i Montmartre , mange år siden....Niels Jensen
If only Chopin and Lizt could have heard this! What then? Possibly Oscar would have had some competion but on the basis of this performance they'd have to work for a few years to meet him on his terms. Outstanding!
They compliment each other so well, OP and NHOP.
How could someone be that good on a grand piano?
☆☆☆☆☆
Bon Voyage dear Mr. P and Mr NHOP> We all love you.
Both sublime musicians, I count it amongst one of my most incredible live music experiences, witnessing Oscar Peterson play live in Liverpool in 2006. He was old and frail, requiring assistance on stage by band members. But when he played everything came alive, even though I was only 10 at the time it was clear to me that I was in the presence of a special artist. Would you believe that on the same day England was playing Portugal in the World Cup and as a result a good portion of the audience was not in attendance which meant we were able to get much better seats than the ones we had paid for. Sad that people prioritised football but lucky for me and my dad to hear such a great musician in what was one of his last concerts in the UK.
Футбол и музыка просто не стоит сравнивать туфту с великолепием!Поражен тупостью людей,куда пойти на гавно или красоту душевную,прекрасную гениальную джазовую она же классика,она же сплав увертюрности этих музыкантов,у меня дрожь,какой футбол????Опомнитесь,кто вы люди,или я не такой?
Thank you God,for Oscar Peterson
NHOP so fluid, so fantastic.
This Genius is an extreme Rarity. I honestly don't think we'll have another like him and also the feat today's pianists would need to even come close in today's world. Thank you Mr. Peterson!
I think that the only one that can come close to Oscar..is gesus Molina from Colombia... you can see his videos...a lot of people and musicians say that he is the next Peterson
@John Abbenda maybe not now..but he is on the way to be
NHOP BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A world class treasure
Man can I just sit here and watch the 2020 World Series with Oscar in the background have a cigar and whiskey life is good.
Ya....brandy..fire in the stove...out in the woods..with these guys...Nice !!!
Oscar once said about Pedersen, "That cat's got ears that can hear around corners."
The way Oscar and the bass player are on the same wave length is a thing of beauty.
"the bass player"
20 seconds in.... and I'm like WTF ever. Oscar is an absolute freak of jazz piano.
I'd advise you brace yourself and look up Errol Garner Misty, Art Tatum, Johnny Costa, and Jesús Molina.
Best jazz piece I have ever heard!
Oscar 💐💐💐 thank you for your gorgeous gift to the world. I miss your music.
Piano genius!
J’ai eu le privilege d’y etre. Quel beau moment ! 🥰
Wow!
Wow! what a duo. The base player is outstanding.
NHOP is among my fave bassists. He ‘s the kind of guy that gives you the illusion there’s a drummer present. You would agree with me more if you check his duo work with Michel Petrucciani.
The trail of notes, the sounds, are unpredictable to my ears. That’s part of what excites me listening to this level of talent. How does he / they know where to go next, the perfect inevitable note is always there and is such a perfect joyful surprise for me following him / them down the rabbit hole.
YES!
YESS!
YESSS!
NHOP is the best bassist of all time in my opinion.
Damn straight
NHØP
So true
Charlie Haden, Ron Carter, Charles Mingus, George Mraz and and and and !
I agree... but, say something!
@@ksenos69 It's no different than saying Art Tatum is the best pianist of all time. Peterson, Powell, Costa, Molina, Henry, Hitomi, Sims, Evan, Hancock, Corea, Brubeck aren't scrubs by any means. But Tatum, tho...
Same with NHØP. Mingus, Peacock, Brown, Pastorious, McBride, Jones, etc. ain't scrubs... but NHØP, tho...
This man is a Genius.
Two of The Greatest Muscians of All Time : What a Blas !!!
I must say that as a danish bass player I’m proud. It’s not only Ida Nielsen 👍🏽🎸
The greatest jazz pianist ever.
composer
Yes, he was also a composer.
first of all а composer
Евгений Пермяков Couple hundred recordings (including lots of other composers’ complete songbooks as well as some other recordings with just a couple of his own compositions), and thousands of live performances where he played other composers works as well as his own, and you’re insisting he was mainly a composer. Do the math.
no, no, mathematics is not needed here! because this is art. just want to keep his compositional talent without attention
This is the best duo in history of jazz
I think George Shearing and Brian Torff push them close though.
Two Masters Together!!
Superb effortless imaginative playing from both artists...
Oscar's music will live forever with us
You play your song of love, and just for me. Thank you, Oscar.
he’s a real magishen, admire him since i was 16, (now 82)
Mr Peterson was the first jazz pianist I heard in France....so many many decades ago he never left my side.RIP
Listening to them plat brings me both intense joy and envy at the same time hahahaha
OP giving NHOP hand signals at 18:26... amazing! Thank you to the camera man!
Honestly, this dude was a living legend, he plays the jazz like it's nobody's business, with an immense elegance and staggering melodic feeling. I don't think there will ever be another Oscar Peterson.
Check out jesus molina
OF COURSE, THERE WON'T BE. GOD MADE ONLY ONE OF US. NO TWO OF US ARE ALIKE. THAT'S WHY THIS HUMAN WORLD IS SO INTERESTING. I DON'T THINK I COULD STAND ANOTHER ME. ha ha WE HAVE TO ENJOY AND LOVE PEOPLE IN THE MOMENT AND KEEP THEIR MEMORY ALIVE THROUGH (TH-cam, ALBUMS, CD'S, MOVIES, ETC.) SO WE CAN LISTEN TO THIS GREAT MUSIC ANY TIME. I LOVE WHAT YOU WROTE ABOUT OSCAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
SYLVIA - FL- 02-17-2019
Met Mr Peterson at `Jazz at the Philharmonic` in his dressingroom in Bournemouth UK and then on the tour bus. A perfect gentleman, dedicated to his music and it shows.
Can you remember anything else about the encounter??
I like Oscar Peterson a lot and his bands. Is friendly smile and nice disposition makes excellent music as always much gratitude and thanks to him it's always a pleasure to hear him and talk with him to his interviews like with Dick cavett or funny and great informative to God bless
Love you, Oscar!
he is playing his own music, and taught generations to play jazz in Toronto, Canada.
3 minutes in and I'm already learning something new
Amazing playing
NHØP is the greatest Danish jazz musician of all times. And no doubt the very best bass player in the world. When the very very best jazz pianist ever selects the best bass player as his side-man in a duo concert, something special might happen. And it did! The best performance of both of them, I've ever heard! Amazing!!
Amazing performance! Thanks for sharing
Simple sublime! Take in the extinct species that has been captured here. I doubt in my lifetime there will even be anyone who comes close to Dr. Peterson! Herbie Who? Chick, isn't that a baby chicken? I am lucky to have been able to see Oscar perform on more than 20 occasions! One time on a small upright piano in a classroom with 5 other students. That was life changing! His energy, enthusiasm, humour, talent and hard work were unparalleled. NHOP was such a bad ass! He had the personality of an Angel. He demonstration his genius between sets one night when I was 13 years old. He took me aside and started playing his bass.He proceeded to lighting the thing on fire with his superb musicality and extreme technical prowess. 40 years later I am still in awe!
My grandfather introduced me to Oscar Peterson when I was a little squirt
... and I am more in awe now than I ever was.
Chick Corea and Hiromi are great, watch the video of them together. Oscar just embodies a blues piano background. I don't think any pianist with comparable talent evolving today would want to play his way - it's been perfected.
@@skierpage Oscar Peterson is far superior to Chick Corea and hiromi
His technique and dexterity are so refined
Jcftmk Dalaxiy but as beautiful and impressingly effervescent Oscar played his tonal vocabulary was centered around a turnaround/ blues and ballad style that was rooted in the swing era. He never transcended into impressionism or exotic flavorings, abstracts or synthetic scales nor polyrhythms or atonal moods like Chick Corea mastered in his own unique style.
They swing sooooooooo hard. Outstanding.
Best Jazz Ever
Amazing, l un des plus grands du jazz!...
Simply the best!
MUSICANS! Folks! I heard/saw Oscar P in the mid 50's (1956!) and NHOP (Niels Henning Ørsted Pedersen) in CPH 1964. OP in Oslo,Norway.
There are jazz greats and then there are jazz greats. He surpasses them all. Love you OP. And thanks......
So wonderful...
'S Wonderful
