Jazz for aficionados
Glad you liked it, mahgister. Here is another interesting pianist that I enjoy. Subtle and introspective approach with a remarkably gentle tone. https://youtu.be/lmKOVUF6kNY https://youtu.be/UqydkoacVwg https://youtu.be/kNhrygNQthw (Maybe Alex will like this one) |

Was OP a bebop artist? I return for this one question based upon respect for the knowledge of many of the aficionados here. This link of Oscar Peterson has recently had a bit of exposure. In it Beato makes a couple of references for Peterson being a bebop pianist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj93v9j2A4A I admit I never thought of him as an example of that style. Yes, he was fast and played with virtuosity of performance (keys of bebop styling) but Oscar doesn't come to mind for me when I think of Bird, Dizzy, and other notable bebop musicians. So I'm curious, how many of you would identify Oscar Peterson as a bebop artist? |
<<The other regulars don't post as often as they once did. Soooooo, there is no one to communicate with. There are still viewers. >> I don't think I ever made it to "regular" status due to my relative newbie-ness (sp?), but I do intend to return this month. Just checked in this AM because I wanted some new (old?) music to play at a friend's house. So I came to JFA - of course. Rok, maybe your comment will jump start JFA, which used to be downright vibrant and can still be the best online jazz forum I've ever encountered. Life has thrown a lot of stuff my way the past few months. Thanks for the last few days of great stuff everyone. I'll be back soon. |
