자유 Absolutely. But it's best wish a woman you love. Or hard drugs. I've been fortune to have both at times during my life, although right now I'm alone and drug free listening to this album, hmm...
One of my favorite photos in existence is Miles Davis intensely looking at Bill's hands while he played. Truly of the nature of sweetness. THANKS FOR THIS!
If there are ten more sensitive fingers to interpret the ballad in this world I have never heard them. No more beautiful voicing's exist then those of the master...Bill Evans.

What a fantastic album. I'm just sitting here watching the sunset and sipping a glass of prosecco while listening to this fine music. This is the life!
Wish I had time to listen to jazz while sipping wine and watching sunsets.. Last time I did that was in my college years. Then came jobs, mortgages, family, a business and chaos. a.k.a., reality. If you're in your college years, savor them!
nobody in my lifetime of 75yrs has been able to extract such sounds from the piano.i could name many players that knock me out mostly from the bop era but bill had that something special.bill is the piano and tom reeves is right.many thanks.
Thanks for your experienced guidance. Until yesterday, I knew OF Bill Evans more than I knew his unique jazz stylings across a HUGE range of stylings. I knew Keith Jarrett and McCoy Tyner well, especially because they (AND Count Basie) played a nightclub that i co-owned in the 1970s. But Bill Evans was more a near-blank slate in my sound-memory-banks. I don't even remember what prompted me this week to start listening to Bill Evans, but since I started, my background music while I work in my home office has been nearly NON-STOP Bill Evans. What I've truly LOVED, probably even more than his lovely, liquid playing is his incredible versatility! The Evans recordings I've explored rang from mellow laidback jazz on this record and Moon Beams, for example, to the high-energy swing of "On Green Dolphin Street." His solo improvisation rivals Keith Jarrett (whom I love), but while Jarrett is 'deadly serious' when he's playing, Bill Evans rivals Jarrett for the virtuosity of his improvisational playing, then manages to insert 'musical quotations' from ALL sorts of musical genres, some as unexpected as 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town!' Yet he inserts these 'musical quotations' so quickly and artfully, it is never jarring to the listener or the flow of the music, (For an EXTENDED example that works brilliantly, listen to what he does with Irish classic "Danny Boy" on the album "Time Remembered" The variety of styles he's mastered explains why he has featured so many different sidemen--but ALL brilliant--on different recordings. "Horses for courses," as we say in Australia! His tragic death in 1980 at just 51 with the (according to Wikipedia) 'cause of death...a combination of peptic ulcer, cirrhosis, bronchial pneumonia, and untreated hepatitis. Evans's friend Gene Lees described Evans's struggle with drugs as "the longest suicide in history." ' The large number and enormous variety of recordings he left us are the jazz equivalent of Mozart's prolific genius through JUST 35 YEARS! Imagine the jazz recordings the world was ROBBED of because Bill Evans did NOT live a full life span like Duke Ellington (75) or Count Basie (80)! [Both continued creating and playing WELL INTO OLD AGE: I know that personally because Count Basie (and his Orchestra) opened our nightclub in 1976 when he was 72.] Since that DIDN'T happen, I just hope that Bill is playing in a FABULOUS HEAVENLY JAZZ ENSEMBLE with John Coltrane, Miles Davis and other Jazz Geniuses who have 'shuffled off this mortal coil...'
***** well Rich thanks for your kind remark and I know straight away that you are one of the good guys because jazz club owners mostly were in days gone by.working long hours for peanuts for the love of our music.with regard to bill I listen to him most days we are so lucky to have his music so readily available.i felt the loss of scott la faro dealt a big blow to bill that trio i.m.h.o.would have gone on to great heights but who knows?.anyway its nice to hear your comments we share a passion for sure.i too am a fan of Jarrett McCoy basie bud powell hamp hawes and ive got to mention our own vic Feldman among many others.keep swinging Rich.music IS life.
exjazzbass baz Dear EJB, When I first 'came across' Bill Evans' music, because I spend most of most days with RUclips tracks going in the background, I entered a FEW of hist full albums in my personal 'favorites' list. As I came across Bill Evans' albums that are New to me, I captured and saved the Hyperlinks to play his music easily, I realised that I had NOT come across EVEN ONE Bill Evans album that I DIDN'T like! So, I've ended up adding EVERY Evans' album I came across, then got SERIOUS about my Bill Evans RUclips music collection: I've printed his Discography so I can both put my Saved Albums in chronological order, AND see if there are ANY I've missed. I would say that Bill Evans has become one of my FAVOURITE jazz artists, a 'mere' 40 years after I first became a jazz aficionado! I also find him a 'Man For All Seasons,' or at least all moods. For example, I started listening to Consecrations this early, early morning here in Australia: Great playing, (as has been 100$ true of ALL my Evans familiarisations!) but too much energy for this time of day. No problem, I've just switched to the mellow masterpiece Moon Beams; I'll listen to Consecrations later, say this afternoon. I've been impressed by the wide range of styles he displays, as well as how much ahead of his time he was. Not that my jazz idols are youngsters anymore, but Evans was a generation prior, and way too young when he left just. I find myself thinking as i listen to his many records, "Oh, that's where ...learned that particular style/riff/whatever." His Discography has 3 pages of Albums from 1956 to 1980. Hard to imagine what the next 20-30 years might have produced if he had lived ONLY his Biblical years "threescore years and ten; and if by reason of [genius]...fourscore years," never mind the life expectancy from the 20th century1
I'm a Long time Bill's fan. I listened a lot of his work. I think this album is one of the finest, maybe the best of the evans - gomez collaboration. And the drumming of eliot zigmund is amazing, unlinear and explorative. Iif you like this record, i recommend the album You must believe in spring, with the same trio, enormous
I think you are right on spacemanbose. 1977 in CA.... saying goodbye to Fantasy Studios, and hello to Warner Bros records was a very special time in the final years of Bill and Eddie's collaboration. Thank You Helen Keane!! Elliot Z. is awesome and digging it big time. He;s speaks of the awesomeness in later years.
You've hit the nail on the head with that, maybe it is best. Bill Evans Trio are one of my favourite bands. Such a clarity, density and atmospheric record.
+Sebαstian Korsαk there two streams (my opinion only) Tommy Flanagan and younger players like Keith Jarrett then the other stream is the players coming out from influence of Monk and Cecil Taylor. I don't play the instrument but Bill Evans sounds to me like the most influential since the late fifties. What do you think?

wer da daumen nach unten macht hat keine ahnung von musik ,diese jungs sind ,also diese musiker sind von den göttern gestreichelte menschen, ein anderer superlativ fällt mir da gar nicht ein ,sie sind wie die großen meister der klassischen musik ,einfach zauberhaft ,bill führt uns in ein zauberland ,gesegnet ist wer diese musik versteht,ich bin so dankbar dafür.
Fja ak hallo ,mein guter freund ,bist auch bill evans fan . bestimmt liebst du auch getz und chet ,ich bin selbst ein um 1000 ecken verwandter von django reinhardt ,habe viele berühmte jazzmusiker persöhnlich kennengerlernt und freue mich riesig, daß du mir gleich geschrieben hast,alles gute ,ingo.
grüß gott mein guter. wahnsinn ,daß du erst seit ein paar monaten jazz hörst und jetzt schon auf bill evans stehst,unglaublich! ich bin schon 55 jahre alt und höre schon seit meiner kindheit jazz . meine halbe verwandtschaft spielt jazz ,ich bin damit aufgewachsen.es gibt noch tollere scheiben von bill ,er hat soviele schöne sachen gemacht,daß ich mir schwertue dir ein paar tipps zu geben. z.b.affinity mit toots thieleman ,oder symbosis mit claus ogerman, auch die meisten platten mit eddy gomez am bass sind super. ich hatte mal das vergnügen mit eddy in münchen in den 80-ziger jahren eine nacht lang durchzuzechen ,er war schwer auf koks ,aber natürlich war es super. misty war damals auch eines seiner lieblingslieder. duke ist bis heute noch ein superstar, schrieb die besten sachen. beinahe beneide ich darum,daß du den jazz neu entdeckt hast, die besten sachen, so wie in der klassik ,wurden schon gespielt ,somit beneide ich dich,was du in den nächsten 20 jahren noch entdecken kannst. natürlich hast du recht ,wenn du sagst jedem das seine,bin ja kein musikrassist, nur tun mir die leute leid ,die keine anspruchsvolle musik verstehen,da ihnen eine fantastische zauberwelt verschlossen bleibt. also mein bester,alles gute tschau ingo
high jerry,du brauchst dich nicht zu entschuldigen,nachdem ich dir meine meine letzte nachricht geschickt habe chekte ich plötzlich was ihr meint. wer seid ihr? und welche musik hört ihr? LIEBE GRÜSSE oh gott,sorry bin etwas beöllert,also grüße aus dem allgäu.
60 people are beyond salvation. Bill Evans' genius is one of a kind and this music is undeniably a beautiful work of utter genius. Thx for uploading this masterpiece.
I am a pianist, and this is exactly how I've tried to play. Not to the point of copying his licks, but trying to achieve that kind of clarity, harmonic depth, and expression. More than almost anyone else, his playing is a deeply emotional experience for me.
A long way from "modern classical", even though he was originally strongly influenced by Debussy, Ravel and others. His harmonies and rhythmic emphasis were very much based on jazz idiom.
I agree, I always believed how could you get better. But Bill's playing really grew in the mid to late 70s. His playing later with Marc Johnson for me surpasses LaFaro/Motian era. More moving. Not saying better, but richer. Check out Keystone Corner if you don't know it and Paris Concert One and Two. (Sorry, not being a know it all, but just finished How My Heart Sings book and Time Remembered doc on him, and have been listening to nothing but Bill on spotify, CD/LP, and many live youtube videos my heart is so full, ha!)

Do you mean Classical? There's a huge difference between the Classics (usually referring to old Pop hits) and Classical music (Western Art music/Concert music/High Art music)..
Pat Kaufman Me too. I'm listening to this on repeat and all I can think of is hoping in the next room and jamming on my keyboard. I've got to get out of this depression and play again. I miss it

Butch Alano Baltimore to Los Angeles, LA to Charlotte, then Charlotte back to LA. My Hyundai has seen some miles lol... On all these trips it's been Bill Evans albums playing. Just me, my son, the music and the road
he was near the end of his life but the musicianship never faltered. If you think Rubenstein, Brendel. Schnabel, Bernstein. Soltl are good just listen to Bill Evans on the piano. E vero?
Το μόνο άλμπουμ που κάθε φορά που ακούω νίωθω ευτυχισμένος. Μπράβο Bill Evans ήσουν και θα είσαι ο θεος του jazz πιάνου. Ευχαριστούμε που κάνεις τις ζωές μας πιο όμορφες.
Bill Evans , c' est un peu comme Chopin ... la beauté est si évidente qu' on écoute presque " par habitude " , presque naturellement . Une mélodie par çi , une autre par là ... Et puis un jour on les découvre réellement . Et là , on plonge ... Et on comprend . Avec You tube , je voyage actuellement d' un album à un autre , découvrant cette sensibilité extrême , cette pureté mélodique , ce romantisme absolu qui habitaient Bill Evans ... Jusqu' à la fin ...
Je avait laisse de ecouter de la musique car je trouve pas de contenue dans la musique actuelle...je a retrouve du plasir encore et biensur je ecoute seulemente de Bill Evans, je achete tous ses disques et les livres que les sont consacres, biensur je ecoute aussi de Woody Shaw, de Joe Farrell, de John Coltrane, mais Bill se le meilleur jazzmen de tous les temps, ce l'absolut...
Questo Bill È lo stesso musicista. Immenso e uomo che (c'era da aspettarselo un giorno disse ::< Sono un uomo che non Ama le sfide > Per capire la profonda onestà intellettuale di questa frase basta ascoltare BILL per tanto tempo.
What are the names of the Earl Zindars tunes that Evans recorded ? They were part of the early & mid 70's repertoire with the Gomez / Morrell trio. I remember being intrigued by the compositions of Zindars, andam still curious.
I Will Say Goodbye won the Grammy Award of 1981 for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo and We Will Meet Again won the Best Instrumental Jazz Performance, Group awards.

Timeless, poignant, introspective. Classic Bill. There will never be another.
The music of Bill Evans inspires me to make magic with the pen. Such a wonderful sound.
"The Opener" is fantastic, showing a swinging rhythm.
Didnt listen past track 1. Commercials between tracks destroys the feel of the album.
There will never be another Bill Evans.
Yeah
We've still got Bob Evans, thank God.
not even another you.
Lina Monroy Absolute legend!
Have you heard Ryu Fukui? He was a massive fan of Evans and was hugely influenced by him
I am utterly obsessed by this album, more than any other whole album by Evans.
the Mozart of the musical line. His harmonies are too sublime for this world
If there are ten more sensitive fingers to interpret the ballad in this world I have never heard them. No more beautiful voicing's
exist then those of the master...Bill Evans.
I agree, Paul. Thanks for expressing it so succinctly. He painted with music.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. RIP Bill
Bill Evans caresses the keys - his touch is unmistakeable
I could listen to his music the whole day and feel relaxed

You've hit the nail on the head with that, maybe it is best. Bill Evans Trio are one of my favourite bands. Such a clarity, density and atmospheric record.
Expertly played also nod tto producers and engineers for capturing this moment in time so perfectly
Even though I said goodbye to Bill Evans a long time ago, his music still gives me endless pleasure
A pure gem! One of the best piano album ever played... Thank you, Bill Evans!

of all of bill evans works, I love this trio.
Bill, thank you for your beautiful music...
The whole record is sublime, but Seascape gives me shivers.
seascape is SO good
Agreed. Bill is truly a master. His emotions hit you straight in the heart.
bill Evans is one of the two people who showed the way the piano would evolve. some people don't understand the depth of the music.
who's the second?
+Sebαstian Korsαk there two streams (my opinion only) Tommy Flanagan and younger players like Keith Jarrett then the other stream is the players coming out from influence of Monk and Cecil Taylor. I don't play the instrument but Bill
Evans sounds to me like the most influential since the late fifties. What do you think?
Bud Powell, Bill Evans, Herbie, Chick, Keith
What about Mcoy Tyner?

wer da daumen nach unten macht hat keine ahnung von musik ,diese jungs sind ,also diese musiker sind von den göttern gestreichelte menschen, ein anderer superlativ fällt mir da gar nicht ein ,sie sind wie die großen meister der klassischen musik ,einfach zauberhaft ,bill führt uns in ein zauberland ,gesegnet ist wer diese musik versteht,ich bin so dankbar dafür.
Ingo R. richtig so !! :D
Fja ak
hallo ,mein guter freund ,bist auch bill evans fan . bestimmt liebst du auch getz und chet ,ich bin selbst ein um 1000 ecken verwandter von django reinhardt ,habe viele berühmte jazzmusiker persöhnlich kennengerlernt und freue mich riesig, daß du mir gleich geschrieben hast,alles gute ,ingo.
grüß gott mein guter. wahnsinn ,daß du erst seit ein paar monaten jazz hörst und jetzt schon auf bill evans stehst,unglaublich! ich bin schon 55 jahre alt und höre schon seit meiner kindheit jazz . meine halbe verwandtschaft spielt jazz ,ich bin damit aufgewachsen.es gibt noch tollere scheiben von bill ,er hat soviele schöne sachen gemacht,daß ich mir schwertue dir ein paar tipps zu geben. z.b.affinity mit toots thieleman ,oder symbosis mit claus ogerman, auch die meisten platten mit eddy gomez am bass sind super. ich hatte mal das vergnügen mit eddy in münchen in den 80-ziger jahren eine nacht lang durchzuzechen ,er war schwer auf koks ,aber natürlich war es super. misty war damals auch eines seiner lieblingslieder. duke ist bis heute noch ein superstar, schrieb die besten sachen. beinahe beneide ich darum,daß du den jazz neu entdeckt hast, die besten sachen, so wie in der klassik ,wurden schon gespielt ,somit beneide ich dich,was du in den nächsten 20 jahren noch entdecken kannst. natürlich hast du recht ,wenn du sagst jedem das seine,bin ja kein musikrassist, nur tun mir die leute leid ,die keine anspruchsvolle musik verstehen,da ihnen eine fantastische zauberwelt verschlossen bleibt. also mein bester,alles gute tschau ingo
hallo,jerry ich weiß gar nicht um was es in deiner botschaft geht,für was brauchst du keine bestätigung?viele grüße aus dem allgäu.
high jerry,du brauchst dich nicht zu entschuldigen,nachdem ich dir meine meine letzte nachricht geschickt habe chekte ich plötzlich was ihr meint. wer seid ihr? und welche musik hört ihr? LIEBE GRÜSSE oh gott,sorry bin etwas beöllert,also grüße aus dem allgäu.
What else to say? Just GREAT MUSIC! By a GREAT musican!
Today she said goodbye. So, what is left is nothing but this tune in my ears.
follow your dreams
She was my dream :(
Another dream will materialise
Simon P I'm right there with you. I'm sorry for your pain
SShogun872Shogun Sshogun is right. Always happens if we try. But that's the hard part, trying again. But you are right. Thank you!
60 people are beyond salvation. Bill Evans' genius is one of a kind and this music is undeniably a beautiful work of utter genius. Thx for uploading this masterpiece.
If I were a pianist, this is exactly how I would want to play
what is that supposed to mean?
wtf mate
racist AF
I am a pianist, and this is exactly how I've tried to play. Not to the point of copying his licks, but trying to achieve that kind of clarity, harmonic depth, and expression. More than almost anyone else, his playing is a deeply emotional experience for me.
What a music.. is simply caressive, I prefer this!
A veritable genius of a man and his music is a tragic loss to the Jazz world.
Evans style was more modern classical. He played a jazz format at times.
A long way from "modern classical", even though he was originally strongly influenced by Debussy, Ravel and others. His harmonies and rhythmic emphasis were very much based on jazz idiom.
Find a living genius. Encourage them. With words. With money. Tell your friends. Keep the beautiful ones in this world longer...
No.Simply. Not necessary to answer by all means.
It is his own work and it is jazz.
So much soul! Thank you Bill.
This is beautiful. I've always had a crush on Scott La Faro and Paul Motian combo, but this sounds great too.
Bill was an absolute master.
I agree, I always believed how could you get better. But Bill's playing really grew in the mid to late 70s. His playing later with Marc Johnson for me surpasses LaFaro/Motian era. More moving. Not saying better, but richer. Check out Keystone Corner if you don't know it and Paris Concert One and Two. (Sorry, not being a know it all, but just finished How My Heart Sings book and Time Remembered doc on him, and have been listening to nothing but Bill on spotify, CD/LP, and many live youtube videos my heart is so full, ha!)
i am so glad you existed,you still do in our hearts

Always at the limit of classic music, but so jazz in the harmonies, in the rythms. Thanks a lot, Mr Bill Evans
Do you mean Classical? There's a huge difference between the Classics (usually referring to old Pop hits) and Classical music (Western Art music/Concert music/High Art music)..
***** Sorry, i meant classical music, indeed.
You don't have to apologize. Just know the difference.
Bill, the greatest jazz piano composer.
He makes me want to be a better musician. Miss you Bill
Pat Kaufman Me too. I'm listening to this on repeat and all I can think of is hoping in the next room and jamming on my keyboard. I've got to get out of this depression and play again. I miss it

THANK YOU FOR CARING.
thanks you so much bro
Simply great.
I listen to this particular album of Bill Evans probably more than any other. So intoxicating, so tender. Thank you.
the front cover says it all.....COOL Driving Music.....awesome
Butch Alano Baltimore to Los Angeles, LA to Charlotte, then Charlotte back to LA. My Hyundai has seen some miles lol... On all these trips it's been Bill Evans albums playing. Just me, my son, the music and the road
he was near the end of his life but the musicianship never faltered. If you think Rubenstein, Brendel. Schnabel, Bernstein. Soltl are good just listen to Bill Evans on the piano. E vero?
Impossibile non riconoscere Bill Evans. Immenso, sublime genio. Nessuno come lui.
Such a Master Piece.
音符が踊っている、そんな景色が見えた。
素敵な世界だなぁ
Best album cover ever.
Un largo viaje y una breve despedida gracias por esos intensos momentos
Το μόνο άλμπουμ που κάθε φορά που ακούω νίωθω ευτυχισμένος. Μπράβο Bill Evans ήσουν και θα είσαι ο θεος του jazz πιάνου. Ευχαριστούμε που κάνεις τις ζωές μας πιο όμορφες.
Sin ningun desperdicio. Grandes Eddie y Bill. Magnificos...
Bill Evans , c' est un peu comme Chopin ... la beauté est si évidente qu' on écoute presque " par habitude " , presque naturellement . Une mélodie par çi , une autre par là ... Et puis un jour on les découvre réellement . Et là , on plonge ... Et on comprend . Avec You tube , je voyage actuellement d' un album à un autre , découvrant cette sensibilité extrême , cette pureté mélodique , ce romantisme absolu qui habitaient Bill Evans ... Jusqu' à la fin ...
Je avait laisse de ecouter de la musique car je trouve pas de contenue dans la musique actuelle...je a retrouve du plasir encore et biensur je ecoute seulemente de Bill Evans, je achete tous ses disques et les livres que les sont consacres, biensur je ecoute aussi de Woody Shaw, de Joe Farrell, de John Coltrane, mais Bill se le meilleur jazzmen de tous les temps, ce l'absolut...
Osvaldo Ferri On s' est bien compris ! merci à toi pour ta belle réponse ...
Yes
c'était un pianiste impressionniste....un peintre qui me tire les larmes.Merci d'avoir posté l'album.
cant get any deeper his feelings for what he is telling you
Questo Bill È lo stesso musicista. Immenso e uomo che (c'era da aspettarselo un giorno disse ::< Sono un uomo che non Ama le sfide > Per capire la profonda onestà intellettuale di questa frase basta ascoltare BILL per tanto tempo.
Greatest Album ever!
Единственный и неповторимый Бил Эванс.
Thank you for posting. Started off by listening to one track and stayed for the whole album. Bless Bill Evans.
un son magnifique et une réelle poésie dans le jeu de Bill Evans, ce qui manque assez souvent de nos jours,,, !
Wow....love this album! Great Jazz!
Earl Zindars, Quiet Light is a treasure. I feel the same way today when I hear Bill playing it as I did back in the seventies.
What are the names of the Earl Zindars tunes that Evans recorded ? They were part of the early & mid 70's repertoire with the Gomez / Morrell trio. I remember being intrigued by the compositions of Zindars, andam still curious.
I Will Say Goodbye won the Grammy Award of 1981 for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo and We Will Meet Again won the Best Instrumental Jazz Performance, Group awards.
Incredible, masterful, comforting
those that i love i refuse to stop loving,and those that love me should always love me.
Here is beauty for all to hear who have ears and a soul.
I thought I listened most of his recording, but discovered more on RUclips.
Thank you.
Beatifull pianist !!
What will I do for the rest of my life, if I say goodbye to you...🤔🎹🎶🎵🎺
thanks. this music is like fine wine. Bill was the best!
All I can say is woww!!!! Best thing I've heard for a long time.
He's the best.
