Artist: PETERSON, OSCAR/COUNT BASIE

Title: Together in Concert 1974

Label: Impro-Jazz

Cat No DVDIJ538

• This outstanding DVD presents a complete and previously unissued live 1974 performance by two jazz giants: the recently deceased Oscar Peterson and the perennial Count Basie.

• Peterson plays a couple of pieces alone, and then presents some amazing duets with Danish bassist Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen. Basie plays a wonderful set with his big band, which at that time included such celebrated soloists as Jimmy Forrest, Al Grey and Curtis Fuller, plus singer Big Joe Turner, who makes a special guest appearance.

• But the true climax of this concert, recorded at the Prague Jazz Festival on November 8, 1974, comes when Peterson calls Basie to the stand and both enjoy themselves having a friendly conversation with two pianos.

• Filmed in color and with excellent image and sound quality (Mono) - Total Time: 72:04 mins. - 14 tracks.
