00:00:00:00 - 00:00:00:01

00:00:00:01 - 00:00:19:19
Unknown
Yes. And he goes down there. He's down there for like six months. He starts dating a woman named Bridget, who's Canadian. Which reminds me, Peter, today's episode. Let's show a little love to Canada. Oh, absolutely. Also absolute mom. Yeah. Let's, let's maybe talk about Canada's most swinging jazz pianist ever. Oh. That's easy. Canada's greatest pianist ever.

00:00:19:19 - 00:00:37:22
Unknown
Glenn Gould. I wouldn't say Glenn Gould's the swinging. Oh. Swinging it. No, no. Yeah, I was thinking more like Oscar Peterson. Nice. Of course. Yeah. So Oscar had two different kinds of trios. He had trio with guitar, and he had trio with drums. And I thought we could play a little Quiet Knights. And maybe Caleb. You play drums on the first half and guitar on the second.

00:00:37:22 - 00:01:07:17
Unknown
We see which one we like. Okay. What kind of ab exact? Let's do it.

00:01:07:19 - 00:01:29:16
Unknown
Yeah.

00:01:29:18 - 00:01:42:07
Unknown
And it works. That works. It does work.

00:01:42:09 - 00:02:06:03
Unknown
I'm Adam, and I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the you'll hear podcast music. Explore, explore today. Brought to you by Open Studio. Go to Open Studio jazz.com for oh oh jazz lesson needs. Oh, Peter. Yes. Opie. Yes. Oscar Peterson. Oh, Pete I like that. Oh, Canada. Yeah. Peter. I like that for Oscar Peterson or Oscar Pettiford because some people both kind of.

00:02:06:03 - 00:02:26:11
Unknown
Yeah. Ordinary people or own pine grass. Oh, there's so many things Opie could stand for. We should go through the month before we start this episode. Originator of the pine House Blues. Peter, I would like to dedicate this episode to our lovely listeners. North of the border here, our Canadian. You'll hear it is because this we have a we have a lot of fans up there.

00:02:26:12 - 00:02:49:23
Unknown
We we love them. We do love them. And that out there, we are definitely putting that out there to us we love. Okay. So sue us. We thought we would highlight easily the greatest Canadian jazz musician, Canadian national treasure Oscar Peterson. Yeah. And it's one of those situations like you can't even qualify it with Canadian because he is a treasure in general and one of the greats of all time, no matter what country you're from.

00:02:50:01 - 00:03:10:18
Unknown
And it is interesting how these artists transcend it. Sometimes it goes in line with, I think, their artistic prowess, their greatness, and mainly just the love that they generate amongst their fans and sort of humanity around the world. People become more like, that's my guy, you know what I mean? He's it's not just Canada's, it's not just America.

00:03:10:23 - 00:03:27:03
Unknown
It's like the he's the world's pianist. You know, I think that's the way people I love that, you know, they, they, they transcend these borders. That's what art is supposed to do. Absolutely. Yeah. Having said that, you live in a different municipality than me. There's a very there's a line between our two municipalities, and therefore I don't like you.

00:03:27:06 - 00:03:58:03
Unknown
So, Peter, I thought we would have a little fun with this because famously, Oscar Peterson would record with two and tour with two different kinds of trios. Yeah, a trio that contained obviously always piano, but upright bass and guitar or upright bass and drums and both have their advantages and both have some really special things. Yeah, I thought it would be fun if maybe I took guitar and you took piano and we tried to, I don't know, see, like which one was better, either from us or from our dear listener.

00:03:58:03 - 00:04:16:18
Unknown
So listener, if you can put in the comments here either on the YouTube video on Spotify, let us know by the end of the show, you gotta listen all the way through to the examples, because we've got it's pretty competitive here. Yeah, we have three each. Let us know which op trio you prefer and we'll announce the winner, on our Instagram later.

00:04:16:18 - 00:04:32:02
Unknown
So is this like a team Adam and Team Peter thing, or is it a team drums and team guitar? It's more of a team. I don't want to lose to you. So it's more of a team drums. Team guitar thing. Yeah, but just for piano, let's confuse it a little bit. Whoa. We're all team together. Piano wins. All of it.

00:04:32:04 - 00:04:47:21
Unknown
Yeah. We could have also done Oscar Peterson's solo piano recording is up and good, too. But, I thought this would be fun, so I'm gonna kick it off. So I'm going to represent guitar, and then you're going to go with drums and then vice, and then so on and so forth. So okay, so my first call here is very early Oscar Peterson Trio.

00:04:47:21 - 00:05:10:05
Unknown
There's a lot more guitar in the early days. So this is what is this Thing Called love from Oscar Peterson plays Cole Porter 1953 on clef, which is not the same as a as a later Oscar Peterson plays the Cole Porter song, but before that, this is Ray Brown on the bass, who is on every track but two, actually, of the ones we're gonna play, and this is Barney Kessel on the guitar.

00:05:10:05 - 00:05:18:03
Unknown
This is what is this thing called love?

00:05:18:05 - 00:05:31:05
Unknown
Oh, sweet winter, right? Oh, wait. Now you're already on my side. I like it, I'm on. Okay, so.

00:05:31:07 - 00:06:06:00
Unknown
Oh.

00:06:06:02 - 00:06:19:19
Unknown
That's how they're on the front edge of that beat. Oh, yeah. Ryan love on it.

00:06:19:20 - 00:06:23:05
Unknown
All time.

00:06:23:07 - 00:06:34:13
Unknown
Oh.

00:06:34:15 - 00:06:38:15
Unknown
Yeah.

00:06:44:23 - 00:07:00:17
Unknown
Yeah, yeah. Oh, I love how in the guitar trio you can hear the piano, so. Well, that's the best part. Yeah.

00:07:00:19 - 00:07:06:00
Unknown
The person. Yeah.

00:07:06:02 - 00:07:21:03
Unknown
Close the gate. It's swinging too damn hard. Hey. And who?

00:07:21:05 - 00:07:56:06
Unknown
What is this thing called? Stank face? Yeah.

00:07:56:08 - 00:08:03:22
Unknown
Ridiculous. Oh.

00:08:04:00 - 00:08:12:07
Unknown
Come on. I know, man, I was going to do that, but I couldn't.

00:08:12:08 - 00:08:37:20
Unknown
Oscars. I'll top to. Oh, yeah. I don't know how many BPMs they pushed up, but it's it's not nothing. How great is that, man? How great. See what my rating review. That is? It's an A-plus. A-plus. If it's not an A-plus, it might as well be an F. And that was certainly an A-plus. Peter, why don't you tell the folks about your first pick, for your drum?

00:08:37:20 - 00:08:58:15
Unknown
Okay, so this is C Jam Blues, from Night Train, 1963. Verve. Now he's into his verve. Period. So this is a full ten years later. Which is which is big. You know, I think just even for Oscar Peterson's, like, we think about the earlier recordings and certainly we can go back even before 53 of him being fully formed in terms of his style.

00:08:58:21 - 00:09:36:06
Unknown
But I think what this starts to show is really how the trio with drums did affect and inform Oscars playing with that classic setup and how much and like, you know, hearing that 53 guitar trio recorded just reminded me of like how how as you would expect from a great musician like Oscar Peterson, but like how flexible, in how intentional he was in playing in these different kinds of situations, you know, like, even when he would do duel situations, very different the way that he would play, we think of Oscar Peterson because his style is so obvious, you know, but he had a lot of different radiations in terms of the situation.

00:09:36:06 - 00:09:55:02
Unknown
So I think this one, of course, the studio recording, there's there's a famous live recording from I think it was 64 right around this time in, Denmark with the same trio just killing it in an encore on C Jam Blues. Yeah. Night Train also just, one of the greatest albums of all time, man. I'm just. I mean, it's got to be right.

00:09:55:03 - 00:10:13:15
Unknown
Oh, it's it's. Yeah, it's in the top three for sure. Their top one. Yeah. You said it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean, it's just the tops. Yeah. So live at the Pershing? No, no. Okay. You know that actually that one. I mean, I'm just looking here down our list, too. This is really going to be the we got just because there's a competition.

00:10:13:17 - 00:10:32:13
Unknown
Yeah. It's going to be like intense this episode. We got it. Yeah. Bangers after bangers here. Why don't I give yours an A-plus. And that's just back me to corner. This is great because same tempo. Same key. Yeah.

00:10:32:14 - 00:10:48:16
Unknown
I do like drums. So sir brings a certain element, I think. Man on the drums crushing.

00:10:48:18 - 00:10:58:12
Unknown
And as you'd expect, this is more reserved than the live version from around this time. The studio version.

00:10:58:14 - 00:11:14:23
Unknown
Come on. It.

00:11:15:01 - 00:11:26:08
Unknown
Yeah. Who?

00:11:26:10 - 00:11:30:16
Unknown
Come on now.

00:11:30:18 - 00:11:40:10
Unknown
You're singing.

00:11:40:12 - 00:11:49:08
Unknown
In front of a major seven.

00:11:49:10 - 00:12:12:19
Unknown
Two. Okay. That's good. I'm gonna give this an A-plus as well. I'm gonna just reciprocate that back myself in a corner with that A-plus. I even went back. There's no fault in this reciprocal A-plus. Yeah. I mean, it's great.

00:12:12:21 - 00:12:49:23
Unknown
I think, you know, the only knock that I hear from people is just like Oscar Peterson's playing is boring because it's so, like. Is it? Though I learned I don't get that. Well, I just, like you just can't just play a lot of notes, but a lot of great notes for me. Yeah. It's great. And for piano trio, I think that's, a feature, not a fun, you know what I mean?

00:12:50:01 - 00:12:58:03
Unknown
Yeah, they better, but in in the beautiful way. Right?

00:12:58:05 - 00:13:16:00
Unknown
I never got to see Oscar live. I really wish I would have, but when did you ever see the lights on? Three times. Oh, my gosh, three times. I remember them all. I remember the Fox Theater Cool jazz festival. You're up at the Dorsey Jazz Festival and actually open for me at the Hollywood Bowl. Amazing. Wow. You know, I got to see Rave On Late night or early.

00:13:16:00 - 00:13:40:19
Unknown
Yeah. Ray Brown in the 90s was like torn every. Oh, man. All the time. Yeah. I got to see him a handful of times. Oh, and I think that's pretty good man. Yeah. Okay. So the point counterpoint we got going on. So I served you returned. It was a decent, decent lob back Peter. Yeah. So I'm going to have to come strong here.

00:13:40:20 - 00:14:00:04
Unknown
I'm coming strong with a live recording. This is from 1950 seven's Oscar Peterson Trio at the Stratford Shakespearean Festival. One of my favorite live albums of any genre, ever. This is Ray Brown on the bass, Herbie Ellis on the guitar, Herb Ellis on the guitar. Who would be his, like, sort of mainstay guitarists for a long, long time.

00:14:00:06 - 00:14:27:00
Unknown
This is a long track of how High the Moon, so I cut it down. It starts with a guitar solo and then a bass solo, so we're gonna just pick it up, right? And the piano solo. Yeah, exactly. But this is, I think, where we can talk about it at the end. I mean, how high the moon.

00:14:27:02 - 00:14:32:00
Unknown
And.

00:15:01:23 - 00:15:12:05
Unknown
I mean.

00:15:12:07 - 00:15:30:19
Unknown
We we it to be dee dee dee dee dee. Then you.

00:15:30:21 - 00:15:53:01
Unknown
Dee dee. Oh, maybe in the beginning, as great as this is. Because that a lot of you don't want to hear. Yes. That's wrong. No, don't do it. Maybe he's good looking.

00:15:53:03 - 00:16:06:11
Unknown
I know, Peter, you're not making it better, man. Peter has gone over to the drum kit and is now playing drums. Sam, don't turn on the mic so that.

00:16:06:13 - 00:16:22:04
Unknown
Okay, that's a d-minus for drumming on this track. I'm not saying I would have had to, but I can. I do hear that. I don't need it, but I want it. Maybe we need.

00:16:22:06 - 00:16:41:20
Unknown
It what I'm saying. Well, Jeff Hamilton did it. Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me.

00:16:41:22 - 00:16:53:09
Unknown
Cause me me me me me me me me I got all pros and cons.

00:16:53:11 - 00:17:24:08
Unknown
We did it. Gave me a key. And I'm not. In shock. I can okay, I'm gonna start copying chords over your tracks. Switch back to brushes now. Okay, so this is a great question, Peter. So, you know, I must say it needs it, but it would be nice. I mean, it wouldn't hurt it. Well, but would Oscar be playing the way he's playing?

00:17:24:08 - 00:17:38:09
Unknown
So, so far, I have to say my two tracks Oscar is playing inspired like he is swinging, and I don't know if he's not that he's not with drums, but is he even just a little bit more with guitar? Well, you know what I mean. You might be right so far, but this next one is going to blow that out.

00:17:38:09 - 00:17:59:02
Unknown
Okay. So I've, I've given you my live track. Here's your live track Tin Tin. Oh this is an interesting album. So he made this series of albums called exclusively for My Friends. And this particular version is called action. I think there were four, 3 or 4 total. They were recorded in 1964, in a studio for records. Yeah, with a live audience in the studio.

00:17:59:02 - 00:18:31:04
Unknown
So you're going to hear like very sparse clapping. And that's because they weren't at a concert hall. They were in a small studio where he just invited people over. This is, again, just like with the Jam Blues. This is Ray Brown on the bass and Ed Thigpen on the drums. This is Tinton Day. Oh, this is pretty amazing, actually.

00:18:31:06 - 00:18:44:04
Unknown
Oh, such great use of.

00:18:44:06 - 00:18:46:23
Unknown
People.

00:18:47:01 - 00:19:19:07
Unknown
Baby. And with that, you don't need it, though I don't know.

00:19:19:09 - 00:19:28:10
Unknown
But a cool song to. Oh.

00:19:28:12 - 00:19:40:23
Unknown
This. Dizzy Gillespie.

00:19:41:01 - 00:19:57:07
Unknown
Having drums opens up some options for Ray Brown.

00:19:57:08 - 00:20:18:14
Unknown
You. That's something you can build your own true dynamics. And another. He's making this case now, folks. I mean, he's making this case. Hashtag facts. You're not wrong. But you're also not right. Well, yes. So I'm in the middle. Messy middle.

00:20:18:16 - 00:20:33:21
Unknown
Oh. Excuse me. My name is Oscar Peterson. I'm from Montreal. I'm about to swing my ass off. Yeah, I can't really hear him over the drums, but, yeah, okay. Really, I can.

00:20:33:23 - 00:20:54:20
Unknown
Oh, he can go at a time whenever he wants because he's got the drums. Hold it. That is not restricted. I can't lose the time when it's blaring in your ear. Oh, and I'm sorry for freedom. I do when you do do anything, we can all agree. That's really cool. Yeah. You might want to fade out, but unless we want a hip.

00:20:54:21 - 00:21:01:21
Unknown
Oh, no, we're not in. We're not. Oh, you want to save it? Oh, I don't know.

00:21:01:23 - 00:21:19:02
Unknown
All right, let's leave it here. We're going to come back to tonight. And the best part coming up. Yeah we're going to wait. We're going to wait. Okay. So I have one more for that. Hey, let's let's be honest here. Everything we've heard today, no looks. I got an A on how? I mean, are you serious? He's good.

00:21:19:04 - 00:21:37:16
Unknown
How high? The moon is like, out here. Are you kidding me? It's great. But I mean this to me for Oscar for, like, the the all the things that he can do. Oh, you know, it's just, you know, the people will say this are do listeners will let us know who's winning here. Okay. My next pick is a little bit later, 1974 Pablo album called The Trio.

00:21:37:17 - 00:22:01:00
Unknown
I love the Oscar Peterson. Pablo, you, Pablo was a great label, especially early 70s. We got Neal's heading Orsted Peterson on the bass and Hap. Yeah. Would you call it an upright? Correct. And then, I was testing you, and then, the great and literally maybe the greatest Joe pass on the guitar. Just incredible. I don't know if you ever heard this, Peter, but this is, of course, blues crushing.

00:22:01:00 - 00:22:32:23
Unknown
Yeah.

00:22:33:01 - 00:23:13:03
Unknown
That's how good. That's how much people love a guitar trio. No, they have the clubs and the drums. They're like, try this. Now let's try to get the rhythm right. Come on. I'm like, okay, 517.

00:23:13:05 - 00:23:30:21
Unknown
Eight.

00:23:30:23 - 00:23:39:13
Unknown
Boom! Oh!

00:23:39:15 - 00:23:48:03
Unknown
Boom!

00:23:48:05 - 00:23:54:09
Unknown
Oh.

00:23:54:11 - 00:24:26:15
Unknown
I mean, it's a little bit. Sorry. You were saying. Are you going to try to criticize this right now? I no. Without drums, it puts such this man into so much more pressure. Like, especially with guitar playing lines. Pressure on the bass player. That was on my rate from which I might end up, so no problem. But when you get past them, I mean, there's like a player that like it puts a lot of pressure which and harp is killing it on here.

00:24:26:17 - 00:24:38:03
Unknown
Yeah, but that's a difference. Yeah. I mean, I'm a writer, right? When you play Giants, that put a lot of pressure on everybody too. But these guys can handle all that. Yeah. Go.

00:24:38:05 - 00:24:56:14
Unknown
That's a multiple for I can tell that is about the puzzler. Is that sick? And hop Niels Henrik Orsted Peterson on bass. Joe pass on the guitar. That's blues. A little bit like. I don't know any you guys. Well, he doesn't really. Peter, tell us about your last pick here. Oh, yeah, my last already for the great Canadian jazz legend.

00:24:56:14 - 00:25:14:17
Unknown
That one Oscar Peterson. What do you got? Okay, so I cheated a little bit on this. This is still trio with drums. Okay. Same trio. Ed Thigpen, Ray Brown and Thigpen drums. Ray Branham bass. Are you are you noticing a pattern here? Yeah, that's a great battery, but this is from Oscar Peterson Trio plus one. There was a bunch of records where they had different guest artists, right?

00:25:14:17 - 00:25:31:12
Unknown
Yeah. Lester Young. Yeah. And then of course, vocalist and stuff, Ella Fitzgerald. But this is 1964 and this is with Clark Terry. And this is a record that for a while was like, really like everybody was talking about it. And I don't hear people talking about it as much anymore, but people that love this record love it like me, me, me too.

00:25:31:13 - 00:25:57:00
Unknown
This is great. From, Saint Louis on Clark Terry. Brotherhood of man. All right, you might win. I don't know, I already know this. That's a plus plus plus. This is cheating, though, right? You can't add Clark Terry to the mix and expect not to be accused of performance enhancing his guitar, his performance enhancing Clark performance enhancing Clark pieces.

00:25:57:02 - 00:26:14:00
Unknown
And then, Hey, come on. Hey hey hey, people played it do.

00:26:14:02 - 00:26:20:16
Unknown
Mean who?

00:26:20:18 - 00:26:33:21
Unknown
Okay, you can't do that. Fill out a guitar project. Yeah, you can't do that on guitar. This is the right symbol. Just hate losing to you. It's not a losing. It's just underperforming the world.

00:26:33:23 - 00:26:52:09
Unknown
It's just not. It's not losing. It's just not winning. No. You know this this type of thing with Clark Terry needs drums. It's real. Well, what would be fine? I would love to hear this with Herb Ellis. It'd be good, but it wouldn't be quite. It would be something different. You know.

00:26:52:11 - 00:27:02:19
Unknown
And you know what I'm saying? Like the pressure on Ray Brown here, like he's still going to be swinging is that's not going to be a problem. But here we go.

00:27:02:21 - 00:27:20:10
Unknown
Come on. Man oh. So good. Hi. My name is.

00:27:20:12 - 00:27:43:08
Unknown
With the trail you can have another piano solo. Oh, no. After this you can come back for another song and swing it like a well lubricated gate. Oh.

00:27:43:10 - 00:28:06:06
Unknown
And you know what it is. It's just a kick. It's just. It's a bigger thing. And, you know, it's like a full orchestra versus the chamber orchestra without fret. It's not. It's not worse or better. It just opens up more dynamic possibilities. It does more conversation. I'll give you that. And also it was an evolution for Oscar Peterson as well.

00:28:06:06 - 00:28:22:02
Unknown
You know, one of his big early influences was Nat King Cole. Yeah, if you knew that. But he just love Nat King Cole and and apparently singers just like him on that Dick Cavett interview. You can hear him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Singing like Nat. And so that was Nat's thing, that guitar trio thing, like you think about his famous trios all had guitar.

00:28:22:02 - 00:28:38:18
Unknown
So it was an evolution. I mean, I mean, like I said, the best thing is Peters, we all win in this competition. I did I never did fun, lighthearted fun. So there is a recording that I wanted to play, and this is with guitar and drums, a little bit of a reconciliation of our group. So this is a reconciliation.

00:28:38:19 - 00:28:54:06
Unknown
This is a 1970 Mpse album called Hello Herbie, which is not the Herbie you might be thinking of. It's Herbie Ellis. Hello, Herbie. Why have you been playing keyboards the last nine years? Yeah, no, this is with Herb Ellis on the guitar. It's kind of like a guest artist on this. And then Sam Jones and Bobby Durham as the rhythm section.

00:28:54:06 - 00:29:16:14
Unknown
Oh, Bobby Durham and this is, the beautiful tune. Exactly like you with a little bit of everything. It's a great tune. I never heard this, I can't do that on drums now. You really can't. Can't voice like that. Caleb might be able.

00:29:16:16 - 00:29:59:06
Unknown
Buddy boo boo boo. But you.

00:29:59:08 - 00:30:15:07
Unknown
This week.

00:30:15:08 - 00:31:26:22
Unknown
Oh! Sam. Joe.

00:31:27:00 - 00:31:42:00

So maybe the answer is quartet. Yeah. You got a little bit of everything for the last few tracks for quartet. So there you go. Oh, it's.

00:31:42:02 - 00:31:58:06

I think Oscar Peterson was so such a great conference, so it's always great to hear him doing that. It's really cool. Oh, so that especially for other instrumentalists, vocalists, I thought it was great for that to.

00:31:58:07 - 00:32:19:23
Unknown
Treble. It sounds great on this album. That's exactly like you from Hello Herbie 1970 amps, herbalism, guitar. Sam Jones on the double bass and Bobby Durham on the drums. All right, Peter, it's time to get down to some categories. Yes, sir. Again, these are desert island tracks here from our list. Desert with us. What are we going to take to the island?

00:32:19:23 - 00:32:32:18
Unknown
What are we gonna have for dessert? I'm going to take one of yours, actually. And this maybe is conceding my case here, but I'm taking Brotherhood of Man. I just, the Terry thing pushes it over the edge for me. I think it's the greatest. It is great. I mean, I'd be fine with any of these. This is exactly like you.

00:32:32:18 - 00:32:50:12
Unknown
Is tasty. I've never heard this before. It's really good. I'm almost my calling. Audible on that. I think I would. Okay, yeah, I would take that because I love this. I had CD blues, but I'm thinking more of the live version with the video. I don't know if there's video playing apparatus available on said desert Island. So Apex moment okay.

00:32:50:12 - 00:33:28:14
Unknown
Talked about yours. Can I keep that up please. Do I think I used to send this to students would be like how do you swing? I talk to listen to this transition from the groove. And I will just raise my hands up like I'm in church when it comes on. You'll hear it though. Oh here we go.

00:33:28:16 - 00:33:35:13
Unknown
It is swing. It is swinging.

00:33:35:14 - 00:33:56:19
Unknown
And then I just it's like a right when they go into it and and it's as much as Oscar Peterson. Swing it. Obviously they're all swinging, but like Thigpen and Ray Brown. Just pretend. Well, I mean, it's just so it's such a great thing just to point to what is swing that is that is swing. Okay. I'm going to go with my version.

00:33:56:20 - 00:34:11:17
Unknown
I'll die on that hill. This is a mean. This is as we're getting to the double time section. Oh yeah. So he's doing double time block chords and he's doing double time syncopation over the beat.

00:34:11:19 - 00:34:28:12
Unknown
There's a rare oh, I'm backing up a little more like a take up. Maybe, maybe. And so here it is starting right here.

00:34:28:14 - 00:34:45:11
Unknown
We need me me me me me me me me me me. Me.

00:34:45:13 - 00:34:50:15
Unknown
Me.

00:34:50:17 - 00:34:55:18
Unknown
Me.

00:34:55:20 - 00:35:18:07
Unknown
Me. We go. And he doesn't get much better now. Doesn't need it. Doesn't need it. Right. But it would be nice. Okay. Bespoke, playlist title if this were on a playlist on Spotify or Apple Music. So I'll go first because I've got some. I think I'm supposed to go first. Okay, you go first, then that's what you told me.

00:35:18:09 - 00:35:32:13
Unknown
That's bad. Let me give you let me give you my first one. Okay. You go. So you got three. Good one. I'm definitely leading into the Canadian angle here. So we're going to call it, My first idea is jazz with a bag of milk. Yeah, I don't even get that, but. Okay. They have bags of milk up there, Peter.

00:35:32:17 - 00:35:52:10
Unknown
Well, so do they keep their milks in bags? Well, you know what? I'm not. It's okay. I'm a I'm going to have this is stupid. I came up with the stupid one. Adam relaxin at Timmy ages. Okay, let me make that better for you. Ready? So you got relaxing at Timmy Tim Hortons, right? Yeah. So more accurately, I think we would call it relaxing in my.

00:35:52:16 - 00:36:10:10
Unknown
He's sipping a double double from Timmy's and smoking darts on the Chesterfield. How about that Canadian enough for you? That's it's way too Canadian for any of them. They know. Yeah. And then finally, I have killing a. Oh, boy. Okay, let's move on before we get caught up too much on it. Up next. Up next. What other albums?

00:36:10:10 - 00:36:29:22
Unknown
Pair with this. Okay. I'm going to go on a on a weird one, and then I'm going to go on some fun ones. You have the weird one. First cousin Glenn Gould plays Goldberg Variations, the original version I. Why would you fight? Okay, another great Canadian pianist. That's true. That's a great group. That's great. And then also, I've got a little bit of, fun, one that you may not be familiar with, Randy Rogers.

00:36:29:22 - 00:36:50:16
Unknown
This double portrait, which is a record a lot of people, slept on with Bill Charlap. Yeah. Great album too. Yeah. Okay. You know. Yeah. And some, like, quality and stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, that's another fun one. What you got? I have rush 2112, Celine Dion, The Color of My Love and Alanis Morissette, Jagged Little Pill, and you said I was leaning into the Canadian angle quibble bits.

00:36:50:16 - 00:37:11:00
Unknown
Peter. For me, I, I some people will criticize this Oscars playing in general, and especially with the seven tracks we chose today as the Jazz Olympics. Right. This is athletics. It's just fireworks. I love the Olympics, okay? They can run every four years. The Canadians are very good at the Olympics, I might add. But I also thought like, is this all too nice?

00:37:11:04 - 00:37:33:07
Unknown
Is there not like some kind of grit or something? That's my only critique. Maybe of Oscar is like, it's so clean and it's like so incredible that it's like it's just swings too hard. It's too bluesy, he swings too hard. But like, you know, the stuff that we love about monk or about even like Phineas Newborn, that there's just a little bit of, like, rough around the edges, even though they're obviously prodigious talents and have lots of technique.

00:37:33:07 - 00:37:51:06
Unknown
You know what I'm saying? I do not endorse this or prescribe I I'm, I'm even just kind of talking to you because obviously I love Oscar Peterson, but I get it. I get that criticism. Okay. Yeah, totally. So my only quibble bit is with the guitar trio. This. Why are you looking at me like that? Well, I don't like where the scuffling with the guitar trio does it expose.

00:37:51:11 - 00:38:15:22
Unknown
I love it, like when we're not sure about something, we pose it as a question. It doesn't, you know, with the guitar trio. Yeah. Does it expose too much of OP's vocals? No, that's the best part is you get that is like the best part. No no no no no no no no it's fine. I don't mind it but but with the drum trio it covers the it sounds like Keith Jarrett.

00:38:16:00 - 00:38:29:09
Unknown
It's fine. It's great. Exactly. I don't think like that's the best part of Keith Jarrett playing either. That's all. All right. So the monitor what you got I got five because I'm totally lost on the submitter I got three. Well how snobby of an album is this. Would this be this. Don't try to simplify. You know, it's more complicated that it's not.

00:38:29:12 - 00:38:45:17
Unknown
Yeah I'm talking about you know, that kind of talked about we I've dropped the Allen Iverson I dropped that weeks ago. Peter. It's how snobby is this album. It's is not an album. It's a bunch of track. How snobby is this episode? Not very. That's because it's a three. Okay, I say five. Is it better than Kobe? No.

00:38:45:17 - 00:39:01:23
Unknown
No accouterments album covers. Okay. I mean, all of them. Some of are good, some of them are good. But I don't know. It's like a hit and miss scenario, but that's as good to be expected. Okay. Thank you for listening. Again. Put in the comments here on the YouTube video or in the comments on Spotify, or let us know who won this argument, please.

00:39:01:23 - 00:39:18:09
Unknown
And what do you prefer, the drum trio or the guitar trio? That's right. Guitar, obviously, but let us know. And yeah, you have something to add to that? Yeah. The last minute. Yeah. Lobbying for your car. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Well, I just wanted to point out so we also if you comment here, we will read your comments.

00:39:18:09 - 00:39:35:20
Unknown
We'll have an exciting announcement after this by the way. Okay. Go ahead. We will read your comments on the air. So here is, a comment from Coach Carlos from an episode just, a couple weeks ago. Just learning about jazz, thanks to you guys. Makes me want to go back into piano. Like the old days. Right now, most of your music is been enriching my playlist.

Unknown
Jazz waves. Thank you, Coach Carlos for including us in your playlist. This is from Max Ben de noun commenting on Spotify because I can also I give it a 4.5 on the submitter. So yeah, you can't comment. Yeah, I did add one more from YouTube. This is from B Mar 922. This is in reference to your, recent amazing cardigan sweater that you were wearing on YouTube.

00:40:00:10 - 00:40:15:21
Unknown
And in the last few episodes, Peter hit this cardigan ever, something Miles would have worn. Cheers. I just wanted to read that for you. For your. Well, what year would he have worn it? That's a great question. I'm thinking late 60s, but that's right. Right? Right. Okay. If you also get a chance to drop in the comments, what albums do you want us to cover?

00:40:33:00 - 00:40:49:16
Unknown
Some concepts. So if you have anything I, many of you have already put a question. Please drop that in the YouTube comments or maybe Spotify. You have to show me how to find those. That's amazing. It comes on a piece of paper, like with a a pigeon drops it off at your house. No, it's on your phone. Peter, do you just you want to do that simplified version of this, doesn't that?

00:40:49:16 - 00:41:18:19
Unknown
All you're talking about is this the simplified version of the effort. So that I wasn't here on my phone like a jerk. Guess what? You what kind of professor had this question for you? Okay, until next time. You'll hear it. Not a question statement. How?
