Sadly, Dud was never really fully appreciated for his absolute genius whilst he was with us - not only as a brilliant comic, but also as an amazing musician across the board. We miss you Dud - bet you're having a ball & still entertaining everyone up in the clouds, especially if you met up with the fantastic, one-of-a-kind, Victor Borge. Now THAT would be a concert 🎼 well worth watching ! RIP: Victor and Dud 🎵 🥰 🎶
Ah Paul....YES!!! What a wonderful thing to say. If there’s a heaven, I hope I get there and, like you, I hope there’s a concert hall with Victor Borge and Dudley Moore at their respective pianos. Fantastic entertainers, both sorely missed.
Of course he was appreciated. Part of one of biggest ever comedy duos in the UK that changed the face of satire, going on to be one of the highest paid Hollywood movie stars of the 80's...He was asked to play piano on nearly every talk show he was invited to, publicity any Jazz musician would be more than happy with. Maybe Peter Cook was under appreciated. He certainly thought so.
MAYBE not the best classical pianist ever... MAYBE not the best jazz pianist ever... MAYBE not the best pop pianist ever... but DEFINITELY the best crossover pianist EVER... the man could play ANYTHING... and play it WELL... an artist so versatile he will always be in a class by himself.
And then of course, also the comedy and the acting. I didn’t recollect the piano skills but I’ve been checking out some really amazing performances lately on YT!
Am sure we can’t swear about Dudley Moore . Think he would hate what we’ve become non comment frightened society. He was A Brilliant a gift for us all. For all time. Best of Brits. With great superb competitive company Doh Peter Cook…..What a pair. We’ve been so lucky and privileged to have them both in our lifetimes. Am Not a musician but Dudley’s piano playing was ……. Brilliant. His playing got me through early hell and will see me out. We won’t get anymore, a bit of AI regurgitation maybe . All :Just Love what we have. Frigging amazing lyrical pianist . We’ve just got to try laugh with him, cheer up. It’s hard. What Dud would want.
Dud was a true master of the piano. His understanding of musical structures and a seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the subject never fails to impress me. I grew up mainly regarding him for his comic work with Peter Cook, but there was so much more to him. A genius and supremely talented person.
So much talent in one person. Brilliant pianist, composer, comedian, actor and one half (or maybe one third according to Peter Cook) of one of the best comedy duos Britain has ever produced. Not only or was he also?
Very grateful for this music and for Mr. Moore and all his solo and trio brilliance. Can't say enough about how wonderful, truly wonderful he was. What an artist.
Saw Duidley in condcert in Cerrtios CA, what an evening. Many classics such as Rhaposody in Blue, which was a show stopper and then his hilaroius interpretation in falsetto of a German Opera singer.
My folks got Chris' autograph for me after a Dudley Moore Trio concert in Adelaide...earlier in the 70s than '78, I suspect, because I was with a babysitter. Love his work. Great trio. Still on regular rotation for me and my Dad who's now 82.
So glad I came across this. I love the orchestral version; this adds another dimension. Had just watched his 'interpretations' of Faure and Schubert from Beyond the Fringe. A great musician and comedian and a great loss. RIP Dud. ❤
Yes, Jack, quite so. The pop fans don't know what they're missing, do they ? I'm not fond of jazzing up existing classics, but do admire the skill here : such dexterity. Also love the parodies : that cruel disease must have been heartbreaking for such a talented musician. Ss sad. But we can still experience the wonderful humour with the recordings....they are all so special. ☺
There's a really great DVD available from Martine Avenue Productions called "Jazz In OZ". Its a show from Australian television shot in 1971. The band is Dudley, Chris Karan and Pete Morgan. I highly recommend it. Sadly its only an hour long...
kickboxer The Derick and Agony shit he did was a load of F..king Balls but his jazz playing was something else Has a little kid he lived down the same road as a Aunt of mine in Dagenham Essex,yer great pianist say no more.
Why don't you stop being so critical and just except the Genius Dudley was,In Music and comedic actor,along with his other half Peter,R.I.P. the both of you 💓
I am a bit offended by this Aussie audience! They were too straight-faced and unappreciative of some wonderful playing. Dudley deserved better than that!!
Jeez, in how many ways can you be impressed by one human?

I’m only seeing this in 2022!!! What a Talent! Spread the word ..

@@brucekuehn4031 The only pianist that I know who could emulate to perfection Errol Garner, DEFINITELY the best crossover pianist EVER!!
And a competent classical and jazz organist

The man was a genius. So hugely talented across the board. So very sadly missed. He died far too young. But, what a legacy. RIP.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate the unreal drumming here? He must have a right arm made of steel!
So so true. That’s one of the fasters straight eights I know from ANY drummer!!
Dudley Moore.
What a wonderfully talented and gifted man he was.
A great pity that he passed in the way that he did.

February 2020, Still hearing you loud and clear Dudley, beautiful music
February 2021 and it is still coming through. Just lush.

Dear old thing, much missed by everyone
So much talent in one person. Brilliant pianist, composer, comedian, actor and one half (or maybe one third according to Peter Cook) of one of the best comedy duos Britain has ever produced. Not only or was he also?
Derek and Clive will never die.
He plays this in very much the style of the amazing Errol Garner. Mr. Moore is great.
Very grateful for this music and for Mr. Moore and all his solo and trio brilliance. Can't say enough about how wonderful, truly wonderful he was. What an artist.
Still hearing in October 2020.
A classy performer terribly under rated due to his versatility love you duds.
And Cook as well. Loved them.
He was an outstanding musician indeed! Music like this is rarely heard now!
just to clarify, and in my own opinion, music of this caliber & quality is rarely heard now...just sayin'.
Amazing 😉
Natural talent and love for the music 🎵

What a talent! Gone too soon! Dear Dudley, always in my heart.

Simply a Genius, can see his mentors in “Garner”. & Peterson, Greatly missed .
Omg just genius. Have listened to this for years but seeing them play - even better than better.

Incredible artist.A jazz version of a Russian composers masterpiece. Could Dudley Moore be more versatile?
What INCREDIBLE talent!! I just stand in awe!
Great man...
Saw Duidley in condcert in Cerrtios CA, what an evening. Many classics such as Rhaposody in Blue, which was a show stopper and then his hilaroius interpretation in falsetto of a German Opera singer.

Who says Dudley was gifted and beautifully intelligent the piano answere his command RIP Dudley x
Sublime
Excellent!!!
What a surprise I just discover this superb (as all the others), yes gone to soon this "elf-angel" an enlighting Man, artist 😍1001🌹
This is my friend Chris Karan on drums. He's an amazing drummer and about one of the nicest cats you're likely to meet.
He's good! I dig it!
Did Chris Karan ever play on P&O cruises in 1969?
do you know what year this film is from?
My folks got Chris' autograph for me after a Dudley Moore Trio concert in Adelaide...earlier in the 70s than '78, I suspect, because I was with a babysitter. Love his work. Great trio. Still on regular rotation for me and my Dad who's now 82.
@@tagmotion Yes, still on rotation here, as well. Great stuff.
Thankfully I have TH-cam to give me a taste of how good Dudley Moore was as a pianist.
He was great. I can listen to him forever
Just Wow!
So glad I came across this. I love the orchestral version; this adds another dimension. Had just watched his 'interpretations' of Faure and Schubert from Beyond the Fringe. A great musician and comedian and a great loss. RIP Dud. ❤
Thanks for this
Yet, modern crap that we get on the radio has millions of likes. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!
Yes, Jack, quite so.
The pop fans don't know what they're missing, do they ?
I'm not fond of jazzing up existing classics, but do admire the skill here : such
dexterity.
Also love the parodies : that cruel disease must have been heartbreaking for such a talented musician.
Ss sad.
But we can still experience the wonderful humour with the recordings....they are all so special.
☺
The Public are dumbed down and Musical Morons
Used to see Chris Karan at the Bulls Head back in the 60s. Beautiful melody “the prince and the princess”.
Spectacular!!
Just watching this again. Love it.
Well what can you say about Dudley,pure class.
masterful
Anyone else imagine Snoopy dancing to this:)
An absolute genius on the keyboard
It seems to me that the black notes play a bit louder than the white ones.
I was there.
Even Nikolai's feet would be tapping to this...
grande
Keith Emerson was a big Dudley Moore fan.
I'm sure that Rimsky-Korsakoff would have loved the arrangement by the Dudley Moore trio.
wow
Samba beat / rhythm I believe. Great
"I tell yah, this bloke came up to me and said, You........."
TWas getting to the centrepoint in the music there ... Brilliant ...
Would love to see the whole show...
There's a really great DVD available from Martine Avenue Productions called "Jazz In OZ". Its a show from Australian television shot in 1971. The band is Dudley, Chris Karan and Pete Morgan. I highly recommend it. Sadly its only an hour long...
Outstanding . Guess he bever cared to boost this side . For sure he was one of the big ones in his time . But no so known as such .
That's quite a complex set of procedures needed to land that shirt on the runway..............
Harry Hill must've been watching lol
Anyone else who can hear a really loud electronic whine throughout the video
Yeah, well, I used to be able to play that with one hand under me belt. Or was that 'Blackbird Gavot'?
😂
I just love Duddly, especially when he morfs into Bo Duddly...
Oz bass and drums?
George fucking Webber!
Love to see his technique of how he works around his small hands limitation.Wonder if he can even reach a ninth.
Ha!!!! :D
Thank you for your input Mr/Mrs Small intellect limitation 👍🏼
Never liked the Derek & Clive shit he did with Peter Cook but his music was master class. A truly great musician and not a bad actor
kickboxer The Derick and Agony shit he did was a load of F..king Balls but his jazz playing was something else
Has a little kid he lived down the same road as a Aunt of mine in Dagenham Essex,yer great pianist say no more.
Joe Harnell would've loved this
Why don't you stop being so critical and just except the Genius Dudley was,In Music and comedic actor,along with his other half Peter,R.I.P. the both of you 💓
You're right and thank you for the comment. I know you meant 'accept' instead of 'except'.
Great playing! In the high register the piano sound a bit too metallic.
I am a bit offended by this Aussie audience! They were too straight-faced and unappreciative of some wonderful playing. Dudley deserved better than that!!
He looks like Goebbels
"I recognise that Leitmotif....." :D
