Absolute titan….and one of his classic tracks. The first wipe of sweat comes at only just over a minute…and then get that take off at 1.38…love the closeup of Peterson and Niels Pedersen’s fingers in the same frame at around 4.30.
And a great opportunity to compare the two great bassists in Oscar’s music.

Indeed. What a groover. Nigerian Market Place is my fave and – it never fails to give me gooseys when Blofeld kicks in on the bass…..

Simply splendid. Only just got round to watching this, the news itself passed me by initially. Damn, that man knew how to enjoy himself. RIP.

Fabulous….I think Nigerian Marketplace would be my single desert island oscar choice. I remember buying the album and it opened a new door in my experience of the man. And the bulk of the man is just so impressive…
