Music is the right notes in amount of time.
If you play the right notes you can be like Oscar.
Looks easy?

OT: Too good I dont see TV, this series looks awful;.

I have never seen the show (nor heard of it).....just happened to find the video when listening to jazz.
I guess YouTube made it popular enough to show up on my 'recommended' list.
It seemed like a fun video, and I thought it would be neat to post here and see what happens.
Didn't know there was a show attached to it, so I don't know what I've started.

I like that kind of music, but don't see how it's relevant to the thread.  :scratch:

It's all cool Bob  8) , though it took me a minute to realize the vid clip was just an intro for the Avishai video. Thanks for the tip, hadn't heard of him, but will have to check him out further. If not familiar with Oscar Peterson but like piano jazz you should check him out.  :thumb:

It need to be relevant?
Maybe it be as Jazz was the only Lounge music avaliable for many decades.
Classical music was to serious and rock not born yet.

Arthur, how can you have over 4000 post on AC and not be familiar with Oscar Peterson???  Let me invite you to spend a bit of time over on the Jazz Circle.
In the meantime, have a listen to some Oscar...   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPlU9xYmWKI

Arthur,
My favorite is Errol Garner, the finest piano jazz:

SClark, I was referring Bob to Oscar as it seemed he didn't make the initial association. I am quite familiar with him, I'm sure you've seen my posts of his work in the jazz circle and just forgot. It was Avishai Cohen I'd never heard of before. He's got quite a pianist there.  :D

Yep, Erroll had the touch too. Another of the greats.  :thumb:

Bob - is discussion of jazz & pianists what you had in mind ? If so I think you've got yourself a running thread. I'm sure there are lots of other new players out there I haven't heard, keep 'em coming.  8)

Oops.  I misread your post.  And of course I've read your many comments over on the jazz circle.  One should not take antihistamines, have a couple of glasses of red wine with dinner, and post on AC.   :oops:

I think I stepped in something, and I'm not quite sure what it is.
More research needed....
