Mar 1, 2008 - Peterson really swings on this number, but I find his monotonous vocalizing rather off-putting.

emusonparole Says:

Mar 9, 2008 - Sean Jones, John Pattitucci, Danilo Perez...there are plenty of great younger players, and plenty of greats yet to come. You've just to open your eyes!

Mar 9, 2008 - try Joscho Stephan, Jimmy Rosenberg, Tommy Emanuel, Scotty Anderson (new cd coming soon)...and of course Al Dimeola in addition to Benson and Kevin Eubanks...

Mar 21, 2008 - Looks at first glance like his vocalizing is being captured by the microphone intended for Ray Brown's bass--but on second glance, you will see that the entire trio is feeding that one microphone! And why not? For once, there are more cameras than microphones--and thus the tight clustering around that mic, which makes for better visuals, too. How about the nice cough heard at 5:20? Enjoy the reality here--this clip is a great document.

Gerry319 Says:

Mar 21, 2008 - You're right, it's a great document, and some of the most joyful swinging jazz you'd ever hear. I think I was put off a bit by the vocalization because I hadn't heard Petersen do that on previous recordings and it came as a bit of a shock. But on listening again, and accepting the full package, it's great. (I did get used to Glenn Gould's vocalizing while playing Bach!)

Mar 29, 2008 - gerry - get of your high horse and stop mumbling like that. You sound like the ultimate grey cat who doesn't really understand a word he's saying. God I knew this was the kind of idiocy to expect from those too jealous to just appreciate great mucisianship.

Jul 27, 2008 - Oscar Peterson, Herb Ellis, and Ray Brown!! they made lots of amazing music together I have a few albums of the original Oscar Peterson trio! they were simply AMAZING!! Thanks for the vid! I Loved it!! ^.^

BlueinGreen2 Says:

Sep 7, 2008 - Such truly wonderful music. I don't understand how these three manage to swing so much - the congo beat from Herb Ellis is so relaxed and perfect, and I love how Ray and Oscar just dance around with each other creating effortless and graceful music. These guys really knew how to play the blues - they have a similar arrangement in Bluesology, from 'Live at the Concertgebouw', its an absolute must-listen. Just stunning stuff, they never cease to amaze.

PeterInglisGuitar Says:

Sep 11, 2008 - Graceful, effortless and dance - just the words I would have chosen! This is a class act.

edesnerdshack Says:

Sep 30, 2008 - twice during the improvisation peterson also quotes rodgers' surrey with the fringe on top. both songs were introduced into the modern jazz repertoire by ahmad jamal. miles davis, who admired jamal's style very much, included both songs in the book of his first great quintet (1955-57). since then they can be considered jazz standards.
