Oscar Peterson

[Brooks & Yumi]

Just because you can't find and/or follow the melody doesn't mean there isn't one.  Did you ever think that (from your own words "I really don't play") it might be too abstract for you to find/hear?  
Oscar Peterson was one of the greatest Jazz Pianists ever and this video is a wonderful example of his incredible playing which was not influenced by drugs of any kind. 
To say that you "could probably come up with something like he is doing" is ludicrous and your reference to drugs was more than a little offensive.
If you really feel that you could "come up with something like he is doing" - How about we give you a year?  Ten years?  A lifetime?  10 lifetimes?

  I listened to this all the way through. 

  I never could get used to this form of jazz because WHERE THE HELL IS THE MELODY ?

  I really don't play BUT I could probably come up with something like he is doing!

  No offense to anyone who likes this form of jazz but being my teenage years was the 60's and 70's, this sounds like something composed on cocaine or pot.
