Two giants, one stage, and eighty-eight keys apiece — Count Basie and Oscar Peterson trading notes is pure swing royalty.
@SVG__Collection Those pianos remained in place the day after, and working in the next door studio, I sneaked a little go on one of them. Meaningless perhaps, but what a thrill.
@SVG__Collection "I Want to Be Happy"? Two of my favs, thanks for sharing.
@SVG__Collection Jumping at the Woodside. Love it. Has this ever been released on album?
@SVG__Collection un de nos meilleurs souvenirs, Oscar venu DANS notre cave,après son concert pour prendre une coupe de champagne, et relayant notre pianiste ...! génial
@SVG__Collection If pianos had egos, they'd be blushing. Basie’s velvet, Peterson’s fireworks—jazz dueling that never goes out of style.
@SVG__Collection Still get chills thinking about their performances. Legends creating magic at those eighty-eight keys!
@SVG__Collection When I was a young woman I was lucky enough to see each of them perform live…. But not together.
@SVG__Collection Is there an albino of them on Spotify?
@SVG__Collection They are locked in to each other Amazing performance of the two GIANTS!!
@SVG__Collection Basie knew--long before Miles Davis said it, that "it's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play."
@SVG__Collection Oscar petersen used to reach an octave and a 5th where as few could reach an octave and a 3rd. Made his playing unique
