Bill Evans, 'Round Midnight Sweden-1970 Eddie Gomez Marty Morrell

[otavioandradas]

LEGEND

[meredith218461]

A superbly expressive rendition of Monks famous opus. These guys raise the idiom to chamber music status.

[otavioandradas]

@meredith218461 well said indeed!

[thelomonkey]

In each video that you respect there is always an asshole!



[FXIX]

0:42 what are you doing camera man? I want those chords! I have to learn them!

[nobodady1]

@FXIX Ears, my friend. That's what we need.

[FreddyVaccarezza]

[TheBellabobba]

[mothwentbad]

Wow, that's possibly the best Bill I've heard. They were definitely on that day.

[djrbfm]

[freddiefreejazzify]

WTF? cars ? who gives a flying f@ck about cars? They ruin it all...

[sosaman894]

sublime

[handicappedhoods]

I wasn't looking at this properly when I opened it. I thought the Bill Evans Trio was playing with Bill Evans on piano, Bill Evans on Bass and Spock on drums. I hate my eyesight from reading small charts ;___;

[ELBassodegrande]

It's great to see Eddie Play with gut strings and no amplifier.

Bill chording/melody style is unequaled. Art at its best.

[rikibitta]

@ELBassodegrande ya man Evans&Gomez and...point.

ps: for all,see @JazzTuna channel (japan audiophile hi-end)

[faggiofaggio]

no comment... genius !

[budin8]

And I will also love to play like the Great Eddie Gomez.... He is just too much...

[maharba1357]

but still dark

[maharba1357]

ees uh leedle pepped up!

[Ouellette1978]

Damn, never saw this at IKEA!!!

[Ouellette1978]

@clintisfake You really don't know what you're talking about, Evans is clearly the best jazz pianist ever...

[sorwell]

camera work is so lame... too bad... what the hell is 0:30 ?

[tavadigelovani]

And I want to play like Eddie Gomez

[rillloudmother]

@tavadigelovani for real though!

[Arsen2488]

composed my genius and played by another genius.

Thanks from Armenia 

[ikema781]

What a combination; Eddie Gomez and Bil Evans,seeing and hearing how they compliment each other musically. This is a amazing video of them together! Bravo!!

[pastorius999]

Jeeeeeeeee:))



[bandunderthecovers]

The MOST influence PIano player EVER

[bakvarnyu]

Miles Davis was lucky to have found musicians like Bill Evans.

[Bruningable]

the greatest jazzman of all time!

[persevere4]

@lepadekor - Thank you so much many (for upload) as The Baroness and so many, I understand, have their ashes put into a final place as even onto a river in New York as she, I have thought of a mountrain creek 5,000 high mountain here where I live, then it travels to the Salton Sea, Oh its just a thought but as the others it is in the final will to be at - need I say the hour

[rowanhudsonmusic]

Does anyone know where the other clips are from, such as the women in the street at the start? Were they filmed on the same night at the same place Bill was playing, or are they just completely unrelated clips? Either way, they worked well with the trios playing

[norknickwood]

i want to know what bill used to slick his hair. it's a good look. 

[utubuser10]

@norknickwood ...Pomade

[markmarktarmann]

@norknickwood Brylcreem. Congratulations! You're ahead of the fashion curve. The look is coming back in Germany. Schrecklich! (yukee)

[jazzman1988]

Color in this Bill Evans Trio era. Nice!

[Stumpbeefknob]

I was born in the wrong country...Ahhh Sweden...I'm 49 now, I didn't even SEE a Bill Evans video until 2004! I had NO idea how he looked when he played, and now since youtube I'm finally getting to see these gems. Love it ! Thank you and more please? :-)

[dewayne408]

are there a great female jazz pianist anybody knows about?

[leftywilbury]

@dewayne408

marian mcpartland.

"portrait of" (1979) and "at the festival" (1980) are great lp's.

and i'm certain the are MANY other great albums by marian.

she can play some.

there is a canadian girl, very famous nowadays, but i haven't heard enough to say she's good at piano or not.

[slender1]

@dewayne408 There are more than a few. I'll just list one for now: Geri Allen. A great great pianist.

[ArthurKaletzky]

@dewayne408

Add Eliane Elias to the list. She often sounds very close to Evans, despite much smaller hands. She has the advantage of being married to Evans' last bassist, Marc Johnson, who's very cool, too.

[kirksiesz]

@dewayne408

Mary Lou Williams, Alice Coltrane, Geri Allen

[123must]

May be the best bass jazz player:

Thanks a lot for the post.

P.s. for me it's impossible to compare Evans with Monk. they live in two differen planets!

[gitgurl601]

ah the colors of 4 tone chords..he paints such beauty with his palette

[jjwjazz]

Beauty, pure loveliness. Thank you SO much.

[leftywilbury]

THANKS

[leftywilbury]

@ftcvilla

i don't think it ever got released commercially

[247Joy]

Bill Evans is fantastic at interpretation. But when it comes to composition he ain't got nothing on Monk...

[Auraruth8]

@247Joy I wouldn't know about that I think he is easily Monks equal if you take examples like Very Early or Five and many other tunes.

[ipshelley]

@247Joy Two different styles.

[atombomb31458]

@247Joy

I think Monk is the better composer-more of a creative genius.

Evans is by farr the better pianist. Apples and oranges though.

[leftywilbury]

@atombomb31458

you probably haven't heard enough monk, and i strongly recommend "brilliant corners".

monk was always creative, since 40's untill late 60's. in the back cover of this album, producer keepnews wrote: monk's music is not for casual listening...... and demand the most difficult thing an artist can require from his audience- attention

[atombomb31458]

@leftywilbury --I love Monk-and I love his playing.technically Evans is a superior pianist.Monk is the greater creative genius--and his playing is brilliant in its own way--but as i said before--apples and oranges

[FLCL2010]

@atombomb31458 bill evans was a genius composer and arranger. He reharmonized so many tunes to such flawlessness that they become standard the way bill evans played them.

Monk has his own style and flare. technically wonderful just not to the classical level of Bill. Bill evans liked monk for thinking outside the box and goin on his own path. There is no comparison they are both amazing talents of music. just went in different dirrections.

[atombomb31458]

@FLCL2010

i agree with you completely..you said it better than i did.

[saxtuplet]

The jazz trio does not get any better than this!

[Barbapippo]

I want to play like Bill Evanssssssssssssssssssssss

[GassyMaskz]

@Barbapippo you should want to play like you

[telebass51]

@Barbapippo i don't mean it offensive, i agree to your wish, but maybe we couldn't waste all the day watching to Evans, Mingus, Jaco's and all this Genies, they spend all their life on the instrument so they became what they are...now i am going to take my double :D i hope you have a piano after all this pleasurefull songs :D.

Keep in Jazz, have a nice day Barbapippo

[hansis]

@Barbapippo me toooooooooooooooooooo

[elortibamal]

@Barbapippo I don't think you can

[giostorm14]

@Barbapippo we all do lol

[s0lidstateguy]

You don't know what you're talking about do you? Calling an Evans piece "gay"?. Clearly you are still in high school.

[norriaty]

I'm gobsmacked, that was astonishing.

[DaCrazyDiamond]

WOW

[greob]

Thanks a lot!

[bialistok]

Thank you so much for this.

[mamesibamarukomidori]
