It such a joy to listen to an expert in their field demonstrate the vocabulary and history of their field. This interview with jazz pianist Oscar Peterson and talk show host Dick Cavett is an excellent example of this kind of demonstration.
This demonstration includes:
The Stride Piano of Art Tatum
The Two Fingered Percussiveness of Nat Cole
The Lyric Octave work of Erroll Garner
The Relaxed Block Chords of George Shearing
They sure don’t make ’em like they used to.
Enjoy.
