Oh my god. I was speechless when I heard this. This is quite possible the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard. Love how XXX and Joey went hard on a sample of this too. RIP Bill, RIP X.
Walking through New York City in the fall - watching couples walking by - the sun hitting that skyline as it falls behind it - the distant sirens - the girl in the cafe sobbing quietly over a lost love - cars whistling past over Brooklyn bridge and the lights… all of it is just glorious…
For me, it's driving the parkway east, coming through the Ft. Pitt tunnels and seeing Pittsburgh lit up against the night sky...crossing the Ft. Pitt bridge and driving into the city. Just classy and beautiful.
a taxi driver searching for a fair around 2 am on a Sunday night in the rain around the lower east side in Manhattan...and his cigarette is almost done and his left shoulder has 7 or 8 wet spots from the rain thru the crack in the window as he thinks about his buddy Sal that he lost in Vietnam a while back and he pulls up to drenched a lady holding a folded news paper over her head carrying a suit case and a shoulder bag and she gets in and shes crying and hes looking in the rear view and she sees him and he sees her and he just turns up the radio and this song is playing and they don't say a word.
Heard this tune years ago. To this moment, and up to this day, I have still never heard anything like it. It is for me, the most beautiful melody ever composed (Jimmy Rowles, I know). Played perfectly by Getz and Evans. I've suffered thru heartache and pain to this tune, and celebrated love and joy to it. This piece will forever hold a place in my heart and soul. ✊
I rarely listen to this song because it is essentially perfection in musical form. I never want to get tired of it. I will pass this on to my children and their children like a sentimental piece of jewelery.
Of the many versions of the piece I've heard, this one is just perfect. Poor Bill Evans, one of the innumerable great jazz artists whose life was blighted by addiction.
Nasro Subari If you bother to think for a couple of minutes you'll perhaps realise what nonsense that notion is. Firstly because almost no-one's life, in totality, is without suffering, artist or not, and If you reflect on the life of many great artists - J. S. Bach being perhaps the greatest in mankind's history - great art is usually the product of inspiration combined with diligent hard work. Frequently inspired by happiness and beauty as much as suffering. Of course Bach,. like most people in his era was subject to premature bereavements however his life was also successful in all the conventional respects, save perhaps wealth. And Charlie Parker stated it clearly when he pointed out - as a long-term junkie himself (like Bill Evans) - that the idea that drugs or alcohol allows people to play better was pure nonsense.
Pan oRoya I don't look at it as one will play better if drugs are used, more like they don't believe they can live life sober. Bill had gone through quite a lot, possibly for the reason that some turned to the drink, he had turned to the dope. It's not for performance, it's for coping with depression and stress.
+Pan oRoya Not to mention poor Stan, who sang so beautifully through the horn, but not in anything else in life. He went on the road with Jack Teagarden at age 16 and was introduced to booze and heroin right away, the way bands were. He never had a chance. But that sound. He sounded like what he wished he were.
It is sad that drugs/the drug lifestyle took both of these great geniuses away from us far too soon. Bill Evans, along with McCoy Tyner, was probably the most influential pianist of the latter half of the twentieth century. Stan Getz's tone is so beautiful here and also very haunting. This is a real gem and I'm glad someone posted it on here.
I spent years at the crib, so I don't feel the pain no more I don't feel the pain no more I gotta get it how I live, I don't feel the pain no more I don't feel the pain no more

Man this is one of my favorite songs/pieces/compositions. I keep this on rotate… elegant, sensual, and painful at the same time in the same breath! Notice how quiet it was during. When the instruments are talking, my a** listen! “Happy Birthday Bill”
swear on my great granny 1:27 as soon as that starts 10 seconds in i feel like im in some kinda bar talking to a girl and at that moment she says ''meet me at the back''. swear that part of the song gives me chills especially in infinity 888
To me, the most enticing part of jazz is not the improvisation or the massive layering of the big bands or even the intricacies of cool jazz, it's the incredible fact jazz musicians are so transcendent in their work and they understand the true joy in playing music for music's sake, thus resulting in amazing collaborations such as The Jazz Messengers, anyone who has ever worked with Miles Davis, and this very tune. The two coolest men in all of jazz: what a musical experience unlike any other.
Thank you for the wonderful arrangement Toti Fuentes. Brought so much memories. Rest in peace, my dear friend. Huge thanks to all the original composers of these songs, Neither One of Us - Jim Weatherly, Sideshow - Henry Krieger, If Ever You're in My Arms Again - Cynthia Weil/Tom Snow/Michael Masser, Betcha By Golly Wow -Tom Bell/Linda Creed, You'll Never Get To Heaven - Burt Bacharach
Incredible. The story I heard about this song is that Getz wasn't very kind to Evans while they where preparing/rehearsing. Getz didnt want to rehearse, was in a bad mood and Evans was pissed at him for it. At this point in the concert Getz makes it up with Bill, plays the most beautiful notes of the album (no doubt about it) and congratulates him with his birthday. So it's like 'Sorry Bill.. this is how I make it up to you'.
@@abominableman jazz is underappreciated because of the atonality and improvisation, which are both primary principles of jazz music. It will always be hard to genuinely appreciate music like this when it is not what's popular, and because it's so hard to understnad.

These producers gotta be really versed in a lot of different genres to finds these samples. Like without infinity 888 I would have never known this song existed, the same goes for thousands of other songs I have yet to experience.
This is beyond words, so beautiful.... Less is more in this case. Beautiful chords of Bill and the breathtaking haunting notes of Stan, simply unbelievable...
"I catch all diseases in the world So the world don't have no more diseases" godam, x and joey would have make so fye collabs, and psoul know how to make good og shit
This song empbodies the phrase "hauntingly beautiful" more than anything I've ever heard. I return to it time and time again, and still, that ghost returns, staring from the shadows.
Anyone that is here due to their love of jazz, can you please recommend some jazz pieces similar in tone to this? I struggle to find stuff i genuinely enjoy like this; i usually end up finding pieces that are just musical wankery with very little repetition of melodies and motifs idk hahaha thanks xo
