As Dick Cavett best described it, this quick video is “a master lesson” with legendary pianist, Oscar Peterson. In under ten minutes, and from the great archive that was the Dick Cavettt Show, the piano master illustrates stylistic trademarks from Art Tatum’s stride, to Nat King Cole’s percussive approach, to Erroll Garner’s unique lyrical style, and much more. All in less than ten minutes, brilliant. Thanks to my cousin for directing me to this great video.
