Bill Evans Live - Garys Waltz (Jazz Piano)

[thorsteinssonh]

I can hear all the subtle qualities of his chords despite the piano being out of tune by his standard. Some of use off course can hear things much deeper and cleaner in the notes of a piano.

In contrast, the fathers of jazz piano were too crude to care too much about the exact miniscule tuning of the piano... yet they were great... and yet there is something beautiful about a chord slightly and unpredictably out of tune.

Man, I don't know. Yeah, the piano is definitely crap but I think Bill does indeed make it work.

GOLD

I can appreciate Evan's anger with this ill-kept piano. Still, as ever, he's his own constellation. Always has been. Always will be.

Thanx pianopod. Thank you v. much.

The greatest. No other adjectives. All modern jazz pianists follow in his footsteps.

[dido93]

Maybe I'll be exaggerate, but sometimes I think no other pianist would have been necessary, after Bill Evans. After hearing him no other give you the same emotions...!!

[jazz4asahel]

It is plain to hear why Bill made remarks about the physical piano he had to play on this gig. Really ratty sound from that instrument. Even a Bill Evans couldn't improve on a trashy instrument. Did the gig owner expect Bill to tune the thing himself? Nowhere on its range is it true.

[Gary1497]

@jazz4asahel, At the end of the day it made no difference. In the hands of an artist like Bill Evans the instrument and it's condition is transcended.

[AlessandroFortarel]

The tragedy of playing of the last Bill Evans can not express in words .... we can only try to hear in us all its facets .... and so maybe we will understand the soul of this genius, his suffering and nobility

[jazz4asahel]

@AlessandroFortarel Yes, nobility. That word sums up much of what I have felt about Bill.

[swieca666]

Don't forget about his fellows Marc and Joe, that's a wonderful rhythm section, doing incredibly great background for Bill's improvisations!

[Sax4Life07]

This performance is a great example of how Bill Evans is playing with sooooo much soul that there aren't any words that can describe the amazingness we heard!!

a jamais la musique de monsieur BILL EVANS enchantera l'univers...immortalité. DIDIER D'AGOSTINO "shamanRHYTHMAN " batteur-compositeur,et professeur de batterie (vidéos sur youtube,dailymotion,myspace.) 

[robmounsey]

One can still hear the great beauty of the playing through the really awful piano -- it really is badly out of tune up at the top...

[jazztom86]

Bill Evans isn't modern... Bill Evans is timeless.

@jazztom86 Hes on a gary mcfarland record then gary mcfarland had his own record company

[AndrewAnn217]

I'm very sorry for that we can't see his perfomance lively.

greatest 'God of Piano', rest in peace
