Title : Oscar Peterson Trio Live in London (1964) - Yours Is My Heart Alone
#jazz #transcription #piano
Police- "sir, do you know how fast you were playing?" Oscar- "well uh....."
Does a hand stand and zooms off to the sunset at "330 bpm 16th notes" per hour
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The piano: “It’s been an honor playing with you, Mr. Peterson.”
Also the piano: "Please don't hurt me again! That was too fast for me to keep up!"
😂
Word up!
@@johndemeritt3460Also that piano *Lights a cigarette and take a long draw* "again soon please?"
@@TheBoostHeroMan lolllllll
The way Oscar plays, you’d think he was getting paid by the note.
😂😂😂😂
lol..rather hear less notes but more thoughtful ones myself....exhilarating all the same
😂 indeed … incredible player , very big hands … playing 2 notes walkings left handed
Wasnt he?
kkkkkkkkkk
Mr Peterson is one of the very few pianists who when playing "fast" doesnt sound over the top or overboard. Sounds justified, everytime.
That piano had PTSD after this.
And needed a cigarette
When the bassist has to focus on you to keep time, you are playing at the speed of light.
And the lag then just becomes room for perspective and new direction.
At the age of nine, Peterson played piano with a degree of control that impressed professional musicians. For many years his piano studies included four to six hours of daily practice. BOOM!
But you could take a million people and have them practice the same amount of time, but never get to this level of proficiency. This is a natural gift. His brain is wired for it.
@@abc456fif he didn't put in the hours of practice he wouldn't have been able to play like this.
he PRACTICED 4-6hrs/day…. ….even when he was already a talented and accomplished pianist. so the talented and skilled STILL has to practice. that’s the takeaway.
He WAS a PRO musician!
Half an hour into learning this and I’m on the second bar 😂
It's been 1000 years and I'm only on the 3rd bar
What’s your secret - do tell
I dont know why people bother trying to learn someone elses improv like this, let alone transcribe it.. I mean I guess thats cool, but for me, Id rather just sit back, enjoy, and then take inspiration to make my own.
@@JonHop1 Like aspiring painters who go to the museum and copy the masterpieces on the wall, those who wish to learn jazz, should transcribe & learn solos of the jazz masters.
@@tomgiles1484 I mean not really.. u don't need to perfectly copy or transcribe it to take inspiration n play similar style.. see, I think our society is truly stuck in culture stagnation as we can't seem to move past the past generations n create our own innovation. Just look at Hollywood for example, all they do is copy n remake the past...
"Take it, ED!" "Take it WHERE?" lol ... I can't imagine what the drummer and bassist must be thinking during these performances. I just assume they're both holding on for dear life.
Well there's a famous clip where it was just him and his two long time bassists - NHOP and Ray Brown. They were doing Sweet Georgia Brown and he starts blasting a solo in the middle and both bassists looked at each other and just shook their heads.
It was the speed, yet the musical articulation, dynamics, phenomenal. His control qas absolutely unique.
Oscar Peterson was a master of the piano. The world's best and a great Canadian.
🇨🇦🥰
Listening to Oscar as a pianist is half wanting to die with joy from hearing something so outrageously godly , and half wanting to die cus what’s the point of playing anymore
my thoughts exactly !!
Couldn’t have said it better.
It’s funny, Oscar himself said this about Art Tatum in an interview.
@@michaelgergen4318 who's that?
@@cosmic_gate476 Oh wow. If you enjoy jazz - and jazz piano - you need to check out Art Tatum, arguably the greatest jazz pianist of all time. Blind in one eye and partially blind in the other, he intimidated the other pianists of his time - including Peterson (in fact, according to Peterson, after he heard Tatum, he refused to play for almost two weeks). Fats Waller came into a salon where Tatum was playing and refused to play, saying "I play piano but God is in the house." Apparently when he was learning piano he was inspired by a record of player pianos and tried to emulate them, not knowing that it was near impossible. Tatum was never the best as far as groups (not a good accompanist) but he reached the heavens when he played.
It’s actually scary how good Oscar Peterson was
His playing is really coming along nicely, isn’t it? 🙀🤯
Yes. He is one of my better students.
Still a bit unsure…
Fast enough I had to double check I wasn’t watching it at 2x speed at first 😂
same
Me too! 😂
mad respect for transcribing this
-Oscar, how fast you wanna play that piece? -YES.
Peterson's fingers move at the speed of light but his brain must be going at warp eight. Astonishing, even when you know how good he was.
He didn't exceed the speed of sound... He exceeded the speed of light, this is why it broke through time to make this timeless masterpiece
Obviously
My ears can barely keep up with how fast Mr. Peterson is playing. He is absolutely incredible!!!!
That hi-hat getting slightly off-beat for a millisecond is the most stressful and fun thing ever. 3 ENGINES. Machines, if you will. INCREDIBLE.
There is the speed, yes. But there are also magnificent harmonies when he's playing A child is born ❤
The drummer is HARD at work!
That’s Ed Thigpen
@@rlevitta Earned his pay that night.
Almost like he’s struggling to keep up!
You ain’t kiddin’!
Peterson... gosh he was amazing...
still amazing tho!! 😃
Amen to that.
I just discovered him a few years back right here on KZhead. I know he has gone on to glory, but I wish that I would have been giving the honor just to shake his hand, maybe some of that God Gifted Talent would have rubbed off on me. May he R.I.P. 3/5/2024
Eric Marienthal in the bottom left corner from 0:50 seems to be very concentrated on counting pause bars.
Eric was born in '57 , so he would be very young here haha
@@frannyliburd9866 Neil or Lester?
Oscar was a true genius. His interview with Dick Cavett is just amazing.
Undoubtedly the most highly respected pianist EVER,..And a SUPER kind gentleman as well 😉
Peterson's skill is unmatched
It’s more than skill. More even than genius. It goes beyond comprehension
That was just his warm up...a simple adagio. 😎
It's not just the speed, it's the intonation and character that each note receives at that blazing speed, that's what differentiates him from a hack. Clean baby clean
Rumor has it the piano burst into flames shortly after this was played😅
One of the best to ever tickle the ivories.
This is the definition of genius.
My reaction to Oscar is always the same: I see it; but I can’t believe it! It’s not possible! Lol.
What an absolute MONSTER of a player😂!
I clocked this at a hair under 400bpm. Oscar was the GOAT.
Light (photon): Sir, can you slow down? You're not supposed to exceed our speed limit.
Drummer be like "Damn, buddy! Slow down!"
OP - the undeniably amazingly stupendous keyboard tickler!
Literally brought a tear to my eye…
Liszt would certainly have enjoyed being sat in the audience.
indeed I instantly thought about him, maybe he would have improvised over it, maybe becoming a jazz master.
If Liszt were a jazz player he would be the goat
Damn the talent this man has
You know it’s fast when the tempo is marked as ‘blazing’ 😂
Makes my fingers hurt just listening.
That little trill at 0.46. Holy shit dude.
Incredible!
Shawn lane actually breaks the sound barrier
Fantastic... 🙌👍🙏🎼👍😊🎼🎼🎼
1 of the most amazing talents, ever!!
bro is literally nuts with it
Amazing! 😊
Ed's always so cool.
He didn't even take a breath on those rests 🎹🎶🎵🔥
Oscar had MASSIVE hands 💯💯🥂🥂
Teacher: Your job is to transcribe 3 Oscar Peterson Solo's Student: I'm dropping out of this class..... lol
This tune is on Oscars great album, “Affinity”
Mind officially blown. Absolutely amazing skills!
so relaxing.
Oscars Girl: How ever many keys you hit in 1 min is how many times you get to hit this Oscar:
Kudos to you for transcribing it.
Peterson had clearly been binge watching Tom and Jerry shorts for the one in which Tom has that house party.
kudos for the transcription
A True Maestro!!! 😮
That's a very happy Piano.
I need the ability to listen to this at 3/8 speed... 0.25x is too distorted, and this legend is still ZOOMING at 0.5x!!!!
Hey, this kid has talent. I hope he makes it. 🗨️😉. 🎹🙇🏿♂️
Wow!
The technical man ❤
obscenely good
Insane
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 also amazing tune
How could this be!!!
My word!
Muy bueno me encanta.
I can play that even with my hands tied behind my back
He is the best...
And here is another Oscar going so fast he wears out his 2 favorite Bass Players, Ray Brown & Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson: kzhead.info/sun/jNSdYb1_jmd-qK8/bejne.html
Peterson definitely had a certain thing going. He’s always been a favorite of mine. He didn’t take music to the depth of emotional possibility… he did however play blazingly fast while maintaining emotion and feel. He was a beautiful player.
Well... his ballad playing was something else as well.
I like the ring on his finger
The piano needs a cigarette after this one.
Let speed on the piano be an Olympic discipline. (And while that competition is on I shall listen to music that has meaning.)
floating with his music .... experience Peterson
Just relax and go with it. Breath.
The speed of his mouth while naming the acords is even higher - Fdim7, Bdim9, ...
Montreal represent ! Woop Woop
New archspire album is sounding dope
This is enough to put any pianist on antidepressants.
xDD
This IS a pianist’s antidepressant
Dude!!!!
Man, can you you imagine being this guy's next door neighbor when he was practicing??? Dayaam!!
The only pianist who compares favourably with Art Tatum.
Incorrect. He never came anywhere near Art Tatum.
@@420Jelbaz I’m gonna have to agree. Oscar is amazing, but Art Tatum is untouchable
You poor fellas haven’t figured out that this isn’t a competition yet? Sad😂
Unbelievable ..out of this world..(would be interesting what the great piano heroes would say about that like Chopin Liszt Bach aso..) thank You For The Music😔
Yngwie Malmsteen of the Piano ❤
Yeah he was a great pianist! Love Oscar Peterson
How challenging to accompany this maniac for 'yours is my heart alone ' requiring supercharged peacemakers?
Hi Daan - many thanks for the amazing video - any chance you've transcribed the left hand as well?
🔥🔥🔥
Insane.....
Sounds like a super crazy Mario level.
I was raised around music and have never heard of him until this year.
