Is it just me or has the sound disappeared over the years? Can't hear a thing, and it's certainly not my audio here since other vids play just fine (and I found that out the hard way: beelding ears from Mother Sky blasting through my speakers just now...).
It seems odd that he does not mention LaFaro in discussing this topic. Granted, it does cut off in the middle. But he talks about how he came to join Bill; and he specifically talks about individuality, not being a clone, etc. And that chair, in Bill's trio, was very much shaped by Scott. Seems strange that, in all of that, no mention of Scott.
@@malchristie I don't know, it just would have been nice. I actually didn't realize it was that long in-between, but certainly I get that it was Bill's band. And it's not unfair to say that Scotty was impactful in terms of the bass's role in Bill's trio format.
@@thelonious-dx9vi yea, I hear what you’re saying. Scott La Faro set the standard & helped make that trio incredible. He was a major part of Bill Evans best trio by far. I guess I’m saying that there was a lot of time & about 4 - 5 other bass players between Scott’s death & Eddie playing with Bill. But, yes, actually, come to think of it, it would have been nice to hear what Eddie had to say about Scott La Faro & that trio’s work!
@@malchristie your comment got me to thinking. I've been unfair to Bill. I need to give him more time generally and, more specifically, to manage my own reflexive leaning toward the Riversides. I'm not sure why, I never went for the myth that his later work is any less valuable. But I still instinctively tend to reach for one of a certain handful of the records ... you know the ones ;). I have 'em all, I love Bill and I'll do better.
@@thelonious-dx9vi don’t be too hard on yourself! We all need to do better! But I was was exactly the same until I heard ‘How my heart sings’ which has some brilliant songs on it. I’m now starting to explore his last trio which by all accounts was sensational. It’s all good & it’s a great journey that we’re all on!
Alain James your response is emotional and childish. No need for that response but I expected something to happen. I wasn't nasty at all in my opinion.
He lived his dream, but still his life went on. His feelings for Evans are probably deep, personal and complicated given the fact that Evans slowly self destructed. Thank goodness he’s not a roaring extrovert trying to get attention on a dead man’s bones.
Really great to hear Eddie!
Bill Evans + Eddie Gomez = Symbiosis. Thanks for this post.
Great to hear Eddie's comments !

Legend
Is that Kevin Harris on piano?
what was that tune
Louder please! I do not understand...
Que genial seria que alguien le haga una entrevista en castellano hablando de Bill Evans.
Try turning up the volume?
Scott long since gone....Paul a few years ago ....Eddie is the last tangible link.
Marc Johnson
Chuck Israels
Greg Anderson ty Greg
Coming soon to you on the next episode: Martin Taylor talks about Eddie Gomez ;)
Yoooo Kevin Harris in piano is the man!
Eddie Gomez talks about Eddie Gomez
There's the potential for a lot of interest here, but it never happens, or, if it happened at some point, I sure couldn't hear it.
Bu-bye

Why would Eddie mention Scott LaFaro? He joined Bill 5 years after Scott's death. It was Bill's band shaped by Bill, not by Scott LaFaro.

Difficult to hear.
Great bassist. Terrible speaker.
really? he's not so bad imo
Maybe I was just hoping for more. It seemed like he would never get to the point.

@@halnms62 agreed, there are far too many attention seekers.
This is so boring - I'm outta here
