Oscar Peterson by Rick Beato
- Thread starter Robert Mugabe
- Start date
Also a great keyboard player I just found out. Has theory down pat. He's the man. As for Oscar Peterson. I think this vid proved he is the goat. As if he hadn't already proven it.
Grew up listening to lots of Oscar Peterson as my dad had an extensive collection of his albums, particularly his "songbook" recordings, i.e. OP Plays Gershwin, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Peterson_discography. Between OP and Art Tatum, my oh my, a piano never had it so good.
As to poker's statement, Rick Beato came from a classical family. He got the training at an early age, before he started getting into jazz and rock. I had the same training but I'm nowhere near Beato's modal perception. Oscar Peterson is awesome but he has a peer (also Canadian) Glenn Gould.
Lovely Alexandra Kuznetsova has Gould's posture at the piano (early days). Russians know piano, a compliment with Gould's name attached is the highest one can give. Her Chopin must be outstanding.
