So cool how you can hear Peterson singing the melody to himself as he plays. It's straight brain-to-keys transmission. That's incredible musicianship on display.
@@user__214 I can take a straight Net York to Los Angeles flight while also eating a meal and having a drink. Why can't Peterson have brain to keys transmission and also involve other aspects of his musicality? My original point was that this demonstrates that what he hears in his mind is exactly what he plays when improvising. I simply don't see how those things are mutually exclusive. Care to elaborate on your comment so I can better understand?

@@user__214 > Giving an example of "brain to mouth" transmission while calling it "brain to keys" just doesn't work all that well, IMO. This video is called "Oscar Peterson - C Jam Blues" and he's playing keys all the way through the video so it's a given that he is playing the keys - no need to mention this explicitly. More importantly, if you're improvising on the keys but not singing your improvisation as you play, it's not possible for a listener to know if you're playing an improvised melody that's in your head or simply playing notes that "make sense" given chord-scale theory. The former is much more impressive than the latter. That impressive ability is precisely what I was commenting on.

Singing the notes as you play them, with a little practice, is magical. It unlocks something in your brain to finger connection. You will very soon learn that you can play anything you can sing. Once you get past the phase of basic finger training on your instrument.

I've known this Oscar tune on the album Night Train for years and years.... But I only stumbled across this version last week. And jeez!....it's absolutely brilliant!! *3 jazz 'dudes' at the absolute top of their game.* Just listen to Oscar (brilliant as ever) and Ed on drums tipping the ride cymbal and hardly ever repeating himself on the Snare drum, and Ray Brown on bass giving his usual great performance. My feet haven't stopped tapping along to this song since hearing it. *Bravo....Oscar, Ray & Ed!*

in swing music, and in the blues especially, the key element of the rhythmic impulse (along with a constant underlying "triplet feel") comes from emphasizing the second and fourth beats of the four note bar. Jim is implying that it's 2nd nature for these musicians to be able to swing, they even do it when they brush their teeth. one TWO three FOUR.look at the high hat at 1:10 listen to the drummer and what he is playing on the cymbal and high hat. you can try to insert this "feel" into your playing, but it only really can be gotten by a) growing up in a black gospel church and starting your career in the1930's playing swing dance music, where you HAD to make it swing or you didnt work..... or b) listening and playing along with thousands of hours of Nat Cole, Ellington, Monk, Muddy Waters Fats Waller, Memphis Slim et al. I grew up in a frigid polka playing Milwaukee Austrian Catholic environment so I had to implement plan b. yo mah wiggah, wassup?

He was playing so beautifully at that festival. He also played in a quartet with Milt Jackson at the same festival and I like that record even more. It's called 's 'Milt Jackson's Big 4 at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1975'. Great records, both.

OP spent years and countless hours emulating Tatum. When OP was in his teens, his father brought home some Tatum records to put the young man in his musical place. OP said that when he realized that it was *not two guys playing the piano but just one*, then he became discouraged and nearly gave up playing for a month or so. In a TV interview (elsewhere on youtube) OP quoted Tatum as telling him, "The only way to get over me is you'll just have to learn to hate me." OP and Tatum later became friends, and OP remarked, "He calls me son."

Peterson's band brought a little light, wonder and humor into a period of obscurity and weariness in my life. Listening to it many years later, my sensitivity and admiration I felt for it grew. A difficult listening at first, he lends the orchestral direction of his flayed intelligence, until he draws you inevitably into his universe. Each listening reveals a little more of its mystery, its magic, so this work becomes ineluctably timeless "Imperial”
