How could anyone with a pulse not tap along to this? Pure swing from the masters!
I learned to play …
I learned to play jazz (drums) when I was 13 playing to Oscar’s records with Barney Kessel. I’m now 70, and I still get the same juice that I did at 13 when I hear the “Master” play. Gotta tap my fingers on the desk or car wheel. Thanks, Oscar.

this is just the absolute best show of musicianship, what an amazing bunch of musicians
Wes was special …
Wes was special because he could really swing and had a great sound and was very accessible, that is why he has the reputation he has. Joe could not swing as hard but his chord-melody and the colours and textures of his solos are above and beyond anything that wes did. Wes was: Solo line, octaves, block-chord. Joe was a reall innovator in terms of creating sounds and playing solo. Just look, there is no solo Wes records and many, many great pass records. Have a listen to Ed Bickert. Sweet.

Anyone here thinks they can pass comment on Oscar Peterson? ????
i really dont know …
i really dont know who is better after i saw this wes montgomery or joe pass
yea I don’t think i …
yea I don’t think i really said what i meant to. I agree with planning the desired ‘effect’ in your mind, and the melody too, but maybe not in the same exact way? Similar, yes, but there’s something about Oscar’s playing that seems to trump a lot of the other professional stuff that I’ve heard. Maybe it’s the way he strings his eighth notes or just the attitude I get from his music. I guess what I’m trying to say is, when I listen to Oscar play, I feel like he’s playing a written solo.
Not wishing to take …
Not wishing to take anything anyway from Oscar, because I’m a massive fan of the fella and agree he was quite a genius, but the fact that he “could almost forsee what he would play next before he even played it” isn’t exactly remarkable! That’s how most jazz players construct a solo…you mentally conceive what kinda a melody or effect you intend to create and then you go ahead and play it. Nothing unique about that at all! But sure Oscar does a real nice job of it.
I agree….great …
I agree….great band ….bad mix….
I think it’s …
I think it’s remarkable that you can hear him hum, for a few reasons. One, try humming and playing two handed jazz piano some time, it doesn’t exactly mesh if you’re not used to it. Secondly, it just goes to show how into the music he was, and how he could almost forsee what he would play next before he even played it. Incredible.
Can’t get much …
Can’t get much better than this!
