Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby

[JohnnyWezel]

Why must Justin Bieber always vote on stuff he doesn't understand?

[n64wilbert]

@JohnnyWezel It would be funny as hell if he watch this great badass composition!!

[JohnnyWezel]

@n64wilbert It would probably cause his brain to shut down.

[n64wilbert]

@JohnnyWezel Try to play this to my peers. I'll bet it will enhance their inadequate intellect!!

[longgoneblues]

From what video is that clip extracted?

Does exist on the market some video of the B. Evans trio with S. LaFaro?

Thank you for your helps

スコット・ラファロが動いてるよ！

[flugel07]

who disliked this?

[Jazzupyourazz]

The everlasting curse of Chuck Israels. Being mistaken for Scott Lafaro.

[Slipmastaflex]

@Jazzupyourazz Oh what a horrible curse, being mistaken for one of the greatest jazz bassists ever! Noooooo!

[spadge1able]

only version that matters.his best trio by far.

[225gabi]

Una autentica delicia.

[BillEvansTribute]

Exquisite, magical, an experience to hear again and again! Thank you for sharing this musical treasure

[Fili2009able]

Bill Evans Trio I can hear them every day and enjoy it more and more .

[BFL0W]

[hlmynms]

people always say that girls dress indecent now..but what about the men, we are such slobs compared to these guys, sad how things have changed, especially music.

[aatverye]

pimp. miles and coltrane still altime best. Lafaro is beast

[jazzXcore89]

[DrArnonPalty]

Scott LaFaro... my favorite string bass player of all time. Sorry he died so young, but glad we have videos and recordings like these to remember him by.

Rob Moitoza

Bass

[pdshane]

@HolyBison I believe that is Chuck Israels who replaced LaFaro.

[dodofat]

la magia e la pulizia di un trio di tre uomini alla pari:la musica jazz,anzi la musica

[XXneedsmorebassXX]

I love how these guys use good chops AND voice leading.

[Saxyman14]

Scott LaFaro is the man.

[Saxyman14]

I know it's Chuck Israels. I just felt like telling everyone how I felt about Scott, haha.

[babystar2u]

I adore him,Bill♥

[loybillyrock]

Great spectacular Video!

[shire2005]

[ryantattersall]

I once saw chuck at block buster causing trouble and telling some dude to not cut in line,he caused a huge scene and it was new years eve in bellingham 2006.I was the only one who new this was the great chuck isrial.

I still can't beleive it,he kept saying your wrong,your wrong....

[nzsaffron]

bill evans ismost delicacy musician、...why?

Therefore、i love him playing piano.and also respect him.

beautiful...

[Stormwriter]

Ah, Chuck Israels... He's great. I studied with him years ago. He tells good stories of the late Scott Lafaro. Man, listen to Chuck's bass sound on this video. Absolutely amazing. He fit perfect in the trio after Scott's death. Could you imagine what Scott would have done on the bass if he hadn't died? Wow.

[fergcurrie]

Actually it's not Steve Swallow. It's Chuck Israels! Sorry about that.

[cherryorchards]

a gay musician called Steve "Swallow"...what are the odds !

[fergcurrie]

The Drummer is Larry Bunker.

[fergcurrie]

I think this is probably Steve Swallow on bass.

[cherryorchards]

so...is this LaFaro or what?

[fergcurrie]

I think it might be Steve Swallow.

[margot980]

Hey do you remember the first moment you heard Bill and it was like 9/11 but the opposite, yes.

I remember walking into a room. It was Alice in Wonderland. About 1970.

He touched pain, touched people, and it was music.

[JC10255]

My Dad bought me "Bill Evans, Live In Tokyo", when I started taking jazz piano lessons in tenth grade. My teacher (who was the head of the jazz program at West Chester University at the time) told me to listen to "Green Dolphin Street" on that album, then learn it. It was the most beautiful music I had ever heard up until that point. I transcribed and learned that recording and to this day, still play those particular voicings that Bill plays when playing Green Dolphin Street:)

[margot980]

I think about 3 years ago, I was in a megastore looking for something sort of useful like printer cartridges, and in a bin of bargains, I found for $3.98 or something, what looked like a CD of the Village Vanguard sessions. It was the stuff that didn't get on the record, there are amazing moments. Thrilling stuff, watch for it.

[Chordwayze]

Impasse. You have the video, I have mine. Sadly one of these guitarists was fibbing. At the time, I had no knowledge of Jim Hall's video. I had to reason to doubt Mundell Lowe. He definitely said Bill Evans used to stay over and that he wrote the tune for his daughter. I believed him! I didn't bother to research. Thanks for educating me. (I'm no Jim Hall fan btw. He is good, some of his stuff is great, but mostly he's a bit too far out for my taste.) Ces't la Vie

[dickydarcy]

Sorry buddy but that definitely is chuck israels

[emmecubo]

this is Scott La Faro guys. this is THE TRIO of bill evans with Scott and Paul Motian, the first trio and the best of ever. after come chuck israels and after again eddie gomez.

[emmecubo]

damn. there is paul motian but this is chuck, it's right.

[sysmch]

scott died in 1961

[ezekielvictor]

absolutely incredible... thanks so much for sharing.

[dreadtodred]

chuck isreal is on herbie hancocks box set

[Chordwayze]

Whoever said it was 'fusion'? This is jazz par-exellence. There was only ever one Bill Evans and 'Waltz for Debbie', is HIS. Nobody plays it like he does. I am told he composed it for Mundell Lowe's daughter when she was a child. Whatever, it's pretty timeless. Great Jazz.

[vaneps]

Jim Hall's daughter..

[Chordwayze]

I can't argue my friend. I have video footage from a Mundell Lowe/Louis Stewarat show, in which Mundell states the song was written for his daugter Debbie. Any more I cannot add. If someone was 'fudging' then I apologise for giving out info that I believed genuine. I don't know how to post the video, or I would.

[Chordwayze]

Don't wish to enter into an argument. I have a video on which Mundell Lowe claims that Debbie was his daughter. I don't know for sure. I had no reason to think Mundell Lowe a liar, so I didn't research it. Let's just say it's a great number. Agreed?

[vaneps]

Well I have the video "Jim Hall: A Life In Progress" in which Jim claims Bill wrote it for his daughter Debbie, who use to play out of books of Bill's transcriptions.

[vaneps]

But... it looks like we are both wrong because according to family biographical info, Bill wrote it for his niece. "Bill wrote it when (or right after) a visit in Baton Rouge for Debby's 3rd birthday party (Debby is my older sister). It was the first time Bill met his niece. I actually have some great old photos with Bill and Debby at 3 from that visit. Debby has the original handwritten sheet music."

[Soul74]

Whoever said it was 'fusion'?

Its one of the tags for this video.

[Soul74]

Also, this isn't fusion.

[Stev187]

Just so folks know, that isn't Scotty on bass. It's Chuck Israels (playing his ass off, BTW).

[felixhubert]

Hi Steve,

Sorry but that's Eddy Gomez...

[bassguy157]

Lol, that's Chuck Israels.

[felixhubert]

Sorry... its really Chuck Israels...

[cookiefacemcgee]

its definitely chuck israels

[felixhubert]

Sorry, was my fault...

[asdklopjesland]

Bill Evans is probably one the most subtle musicians ever - a treat indeed!!

[moxichick67]

This is simply amazing. The interplay between all three is sublime. What a treat to see this video to compliment the audio.
