Hokage Of Konoha
He was such a great piano player. All those intesting inner voicings. Really innovative. Bill Evans once mentioned that NKC was a big influence.

They're jamming deliciously. Note the quick, barely intelligible quote from Rhapsody in Black toward 227, just a hint. This is a rollicking, joyful take on a great, great song!
Cezar Rodrigues
impeccable all the way around.
Frankie Mancini
Men who know about and truly appreciate these artists are few these days. Thank you gentlemen for your comments.

Oscar Moore quit music altogether in the 50s, became a bricklayer and died in 1981. Damn shame.
Marcelo D'Alessio
I don't think the picture at 59 sec. is Oscar Moore.
Lisa Marie Gilmore
One of Jazz musics Crown Jewels...

You can hear on guitar that some of the sounds are the same style that Les Paul used way back when.

I don't even recognize it! I guess it's because I'm so used to the slow version by Sinatra.
Max Bright
Yeah, the picture during the guitar solo is of Irving Ashby, not Oscar Moore. Irving Ashby is the one who had a Stromberg Master 400, not Oscar Moore, who would've been playing a Gibson ES-250

Nat's articulation is fantastic...Red Garland says he tried to emulate Nat's articulation style...Nat was a very underated piano player... and1944 is pre-Bop...this small trio is a precursor to BeBop which hit the scene right about the same time/shortly hereafter.

A good thing I wasn't looking for this song two or three days ago!
Ashley Davison
this is a sample of early Jazz trio w different instuments
Frederik Saenz
The best trio ever
Aaron Einhorn
It's because a lot of jazz records have been rereleased in Japan after the war.

Nat Cole:
The connection between Teddy Wilson and Oscar Peterson.
He was such a Mega-POP Star from the early '50's into the mid-'60's that he was still having top-40 hits, pretty much until his death in 1965.
That success as a (wonderful) vocalist tends to overshadow what a Jazz Colossus he was on piano for over two decades previously.
This 1944 cut (of a timelessly-hip Cole Porter tune) is a great example of that.
Incidentally…
The only more recent example of a musical phenomenon such as this I can think of is George Benson:
In Jazz and Guitar circles he was always a giant, even as a kid, and he had done some singing, largely (and unjustifiably) overlooked...
...and then, just as it did for Cole when he released "Sweet Lorraine," Benson released "This Masquerade," and everything changed.
