My old friend , Reid, Introduced me to this great collaboration of jazz giants. This cut was my favorite. Unfortunatley he had a heart attack . I was at his beside when he passed and played this tune for him in his last moments . RIP dear friend.
I bought the LP Affinity in Lower Manhattan 1980 It gives me goosebumps of shear delight, and tears of sadness. So hauntingly beautiful, a masterpiece.
Imagine...Two for one! If ever the word genius was accurately applied..Toots would be the recipient..I've been digging this guy for 20 some yrs...and never cease to get "goose bumps"! He can make one weep..behind a ballad. On the "ups"...that's impossible..especially on harmonica. No one has ever dreamed of doin' the things Toots does...again...especially on that axe! Bill Evans...just a giant..and my all-time favourite on keyboard. I met each...once. Toots..humble, like I could never be. Evans...ravaged by the "shit"! What a horrible happenstance! Such a talent..cut short...by the junk! Talk about a waste. Im so pleased, I can hear them..anytime I like. I'm "hooked" too. Donny C
This one of the most beautiful things I have ever hear on record. Forgive them Father for they know not what they do. The parting words of a man to those whom, through ignorance and cruelty, acted as the innocent agents of their own eternal salvation. How to convey that idea without words. Listen, and you will hear the answer.
"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

I used to listen to this song countless times; it's a classic.
Timeless, gorgeous, profound, and sublime. The pinnacle of the art. God Bless these two giants.
R.I.P. Toots. Sheer Genius.
Thank you Bill and Toots, truly my two alltime favourite jazz musicians.

Bill's light and skillful Rhodes with toots haunting harmonica is a match made in heaven ✨.
No one can match or beat them at this game ever.

This is just as wonderful as it gets. The two greatest at their instruments together!
These two musicians and this arrangement truly represents what it means to be a music artist. The best!!!! Thank you God for their gift.

♫ •*`*•.¸☆ Uma balada entoada com toda a afinidade melódica que existe entre Bill Evans & Toots Thielemans - "Jesus´ Last Ballad"♫ •*`*•.¸☆
Deborah Fraguito Brasileira, não??!!
UN SONIDO 'UNICO DEL RODHES!
Lindo tema!
"Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?"
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
PEACE FOR SOUL;FLESH AND MIND*
