Oscar Peterson: Music in the Key of Oscar
|
David Zych, JazzTimes
…a class video about a class jazz-master. Not only
will you learn from it, but you will be royally entertained.
Owen McNally, The
Hartford Courant
…high-quality, thought-provoking video portrait
…reveals Peterson as a complex, articulate man with a passion for
perfection and profound anger
Description
Oscar Peterson narrates this feature-length film,
tracing the evolution of his ever-changing sound and style: from his early
days as Montreal’s boogie-woogie sensation, through his meteoric rise to
international celebrity.
Distilled from 80 hours of footage, the 106 minute, 2-videocassate
"Oscar Peterson: Music in the Key of Oscar" features close to an
hour of rare vintage and exciting contemporary performances, including Nat
"King" Cole with Jazz at the Philharmonic and the historic
reunion of the Oscar Peterson Trio- Oscar on piano, Ray Brown on bass and
Herb Ellis on guitar. Interviews with Quincy Jones, Ella Fitzgerald, Herbie
Hancock, Cleo Lane, Dizzy Gillespie and many more are woven throughout the
narrative, rounding out this portrait of the brilliant jazzman, and the
changing cultural climate in which jazz adapted and flourished over the
decades.
Wall-to-wall music, rare footage and in-depth interviews with a cast of
jazz greats create a film that is destined to become a classic, spanning
four decades of a genius’ music and ambition to honor his father’s
credo to "Be the best." MUSICAL HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:
Caravan, Gentle Waltz, Boogie Woogie, Tiny’s Exercise (Art Tatum),
Tenderly, Sweet Loraine (Nat "King" Cole), Hymn to Freedom, Place
St. Henri, Perdido (Cleo Lane & John Dankworth), March Past, Nightmare,
