David Wilder It was a long time ago. It is always amazing to see your hero. Three things I remember to this day. Bill looked sick when he came on stage but once he started playing the energy was intense. I wished the piano had been better and then I quickly stopped noticing that. And Joe Lebarbera kind of reminded me of a classical guitarist the way he sat close to his drums and his feel. I don't know why I had that thought but I remember it.
Can you imagine being able to play that well in the throes of an addiction from which you'd finally succumb in 18 months? I surely wish he'd gotten the help he needed. Not a day has gone by in twenty years or more that I haven't listened to Bill Evans, and I mean that quite literally. Not one single day.
Same my friend. My grandfather used to play his music when I was younger. He owned every single vinyl record of Bill Evans. Every single album that he recorded, my grandfather owned. He really introduced me to the world of jazz. I always listen to a song of Bill's, his soft touch on the piano is without equal. The greatest of his time...
What the hell are you talking about? Evans was a drug user and in poor health in his final years, but it's not as if he was Chet Baker in the "throes of an addiction" as you say it. What a total misrepresentation and over-dramatization of reality. Get real man.
@@1122redbird in the biography ‘How my heart sings’ it is detailed that Evans was at a point shooting heroin every 40 minutes and after the death of his brother Harry, he was using several grams of cocaine per day and drinking heavily. Gene Lees called Bill’s death the ‘longest suicide in history’ and even Evans spoke in radio interviews about his acceptance of mortality and his disregard of his physical condition. His life was incredibly tragic and beautiful, though in no means was it defined by his addiction - the level to which he consumed drugs can hardly be overstated and his death was directly related to his chemical dependencies.
He is so good it is hard to explain. I just listen to him and enjoy......each and every time I hear him. I wish Americans took more interest in their own art form and there was more funding for it.
I came here after watching Kids on the Slope :) That beautiful anime refreshed my appreciation of jazz, and the animation over video of actual musicians playing is very fun to watch imo.
Great trio. Bill was my father's favorite pianist, damn, he was right after all. He sounds like he's just starting to go to another level. Too bad we'll never hear it. R.I.P. Bill Evans.
Bill's stellar performance of this tune Is from Wednesday night of the 16-disc box sets ("Consecration" and "Last Waltz") recorded the week before his ravaged body surrendered. Bill didn't show up, so Denny Zeitlin started the set. When Bill did appear, he was not going to let the audience forget what they'd almost missed. No other pianist could have executed, with dead accuracy, unbroken phrasing, equal digital pressure at blinding speed, his solo. Awesome music. Think Mozart or Verdi Requiems.
Mr. Joe LaBarbera, bringing alchemy and more to the proceedings...how lucky Bill was to have them both, Joe & Mark. Next level intuition & next level musicianship.
Between Nov. 1979 and up to his death on Sept. 15, 1980, Bill was a man on a mission, playing every note as if his life counted on it. He gave his life for the music, for the opportunity to introduce his new, rejuvenated trio of Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera and his new approach to the piano--no more Debussy; his deep and dark, expressionistic Russian romanticism is even more captivating than his 1961 Vanguard sessions.. He turns time on its head, reinvents swing. Everything by this trio holy.
"Someday my prince will come" (Algun día mi príncipe vendrá) Bill evans con su Trío Marc Johnson y Joe La Barbera, este es un tema de Frank Churchill y Larry Morey quienes lo compusieron para "Blancanieves" (film de Disney). El gran Bill Evans, con sus melancólicas y geniales armonías hace un tema de un dibujo animado como obra maestra del Jazz de Cámara menos de un año después de este recital Evans moría, pero produjo un antes y después en el Jazz con su genial inventiva.
Orlando Moraes Es una lastima saber que pianistas jazzeros de primerisima calidad viven poco, como fue Esbjorn Svennson, que murio hace un par de años en un accidente, teniendo 40 años. Si no lo conoces, buscalo y vas a darte cuenta de la lastima que fue haberlo perdido
Bill's tone! The product of broad shoulders, huge hands and thick fingers, producing an outpouring of darkly expressionist Romanticism unlike his early "Debussy" period. The trio forsakes swing and "groove" for a single, collective voice--urgent, forward-leaning, anticipating bars, always a step ahead of the listener. Music unlike any other piano trio before and since. His best "Prince"--blinding speed and no pause would be recorded a week before his death (Wed. night of the 16-disc box set)
All I know is that I feel blessed that he ever existed in the first place. And as long as we talk about him, he's still alive. I think he will always be. He is not for the superficial. Sadly, much of todays music has the depth of a birdbath, and in my opinion doesn't qualify as an art form. But perhaps I'm mistaken. He's right for me.

@Polleggioso There were several bassists between LaFaro and Johnson. Johnson only played with the Trio for about 2 years or so until Evans died. After LaFaro's accident in 1961, the bass chair featured Chuck Israels, Gary Peacock, and Eddie Gomez. Gomez was on the bulk of Evans' material.
Something being popular today doesn't take away from quality. There are songs by Neil Young which blow me away and so does Dexter Gordon. Blues, Jazz, Rock and Roll, Rap are forms which will be immortal and will always be studied, analyzed,and imitated.(and also created in US of A (?!?!?!))
tocó dos días en Madrid, en el Balboa Jazz Club, sesión de tarde y noche, en el 79, recién le habían dado a Morente el Nacional de Música española. Me lo contó mi maestro amigo Enrique una noche..a la raya, ya! del día, sentados en la plaza de Lavapiés, con Antoñito el Chorbo y Jóse Candela presentes... "Amigo escolano, este tío toca, más que por Debussy, por todos los ángeles músicos del paraíso. Tanto que no le he sacado aún ninguna falseta para agradecerle. También se lo contó al hermano Metheny en los jardínes del Generalife cuando estaban grabando el mejor, casi, disco de Enrique.
Yo estuve en el Balboa Jazz Club. Acojonante experiencia musical. Hay al menos dos cd de esas actuaciones. Yo tengo el cd-2, algo hay colgado en RUclips: Bill Evans at Balboa Jazz. Saludos.
Evans' main bassists were Teddy Kotick (before 59), Scott Lafaro, died on july 6, 1961 at his 25 in car accident just 11 days after Village Vanguard, Chuck Israëls , NHOP, Gary Peacock, Eddie Gomez for the longest period and the most innovator, and Marc Johnson. There are much well made videos-documentaries on youtube 'bout Bill Evans.
@Polleggioso Well yeah but that was a long time before this video. After LaFaro died, Bill had a number of bassists before Marc Johnson, who was his last bassist before his death.
After the same tunes by Keith (who made far more money than Bill), hearing Bill early or late is to discover all that a piano is capable of in the hands of a master (and perfect physical specimen). But credit must be given to Johnson, for figuring out how to stay with Bill's "anticipatory" phrasing. Pretend you're the bassist. You can feel the triple meter, but the "one" is often displaced. Extremely complex, radical new rhythmic phrasing in jazz, with LaBarbera also catching the unusual groove.
Great and intense. Thank you for uploading. By the way, was Scott Lafaro who died in a car accident (the bass player)... Joe La Barbera is still alive and drumming. Johnson took the Lafaro's place.

alright mate settle down.
Jazz is like fine wine, it only gets better every year.
Yes, jazz is forever!
Cheers man!
Marc Johnson's solo is outstanding ... Joe is wonderful and Bill is beyond description .... terrific
Bill's intro is sublime and understated. From the first note to the last it's absolute perfection.
He is so good it is hard to explain. I just listen to him and enjoy......each and every time I hear him. I wish Americans took more interest in their own art form and there was more funding for it.
Im sitting here in my car jaw on the floor this is the greatest performance I’ve ever heard
I came here after watching Kids on the Slope :) That beautiful anime refreshed my appreciation of jazz, and the animation over video of actual musicians playing is very fun to watch imo.
I discovered bill evans there
+Jonathan Braithwaite the musical advisor to that show, whoever it was, is brilliant!
Yoko Kanno arranged the pieces
Same here
Jazz is a reply in song. It’s the depth of how people feel but via song.
Great trio. Bill was my father's favorite pianist, damn, he was right after all. He sounds like he's just starting to go to another level. Too bad we'll never hear it. R.I.P. Bill Evans.
I love the sound of the double bass. The combination all acustic instruments in soft jazz, is unique

Bill didn't show up, so Denny Zeitlin started the set. When Bill did appear, he was not going to let the audience forget what they'd almost missed. No other pianist could have executed, with dead accuracy, unbroken phrasing, equal digital pressure at blinding speed, his solo. Awesome music. Think Mozart or Verdi Requiems.
One of the few songs that could reliably get Evans into a swinging mode. Love every recording we have of him playing this song...
Mister Bill Evans as always giving music from his soul and the purity of interpretation has no equal!!!
Those rhythmic displacements are amazing!
BILL EVANS, O MAIS LÍRICO, INVENTIVO E MELÓCICO PIANISTA DE TODOS OS TEMPOS!!! SUA CAPACIDADE DE ABSTRAÇÃO MUSICAL, É INCOMPARÁVEL. BRAVO !!!!!!
Simply an amazing performance.
Also, 6 people's prince will never come.
Napolean Dynamite on double bass doing a great job. Superb playing all round,
Mr. Joe LaBarbera, bringing alchemy and more to the proceedings...how lucky Bill was to have them both, Joe & Mark. Next level intuition & next level musicianship.
This is by far my favorite version of this standard
Nobody better than Bill...nobody!!!
