Bill Evans Trio - Waltz For Debby - 19 Mar 65 (11 of 11)

[gilbert20]

When I was learning bass, this was the gold standard for me to practice. Of course I never even approached their quality.

[MartinaFromPoland]

mm ;) beautiful

[Flextones]

This is Bill's tune. He wrote it. Nice block chords. Scott works it very tightly with Bill. Scott breaks up the rhythm very well. They are slick as snot on a door knob.

何時聴いても良い曲です。。

larry bunker looks SO badass from 00:18-00:21

[TallSomeone]

Miles knew what he saw in Bill.

[mscheller74]

this is music at its purest & finest IMHO

[Boldstrummer]

Out of this world. . . . So tight. . . listening and playing of the highest order. Very rare to hear this level of artistry. . . Thanks whoever posted this.

[tipsin]

I've heard this so many times and yet it still gives me goose-bumps.

[pianofortekristina]

[Mr1212dade]

Scott LaFaro on bass?

[Obelisk2290]

@Mr1212dade no, scott died july 6, 1961 this was recorded in 1965

[olibo64]

@Obelisk2290

You are right. The bassist is actually Chuck Israels.

Very nice recording, I did not know it thank you kenjames64 !

[ghairraigh]

full 1 hour 10 minute BBC Show of this now on youTube

[monlevibe]

bit of trivia for you.....at the very start of the clip is it John LeMesurier from the british comedy Dads Army, sitting at the centre-front of the audience? Or just a look alike?

[laulinde]

@monlevibe Yes! I thought exactly the same, the one playing Arthur Wilson! How funny

[Artstar]

@hollygy

cd universe dot com has this on DVD for $12. Surprisingly, the video quality is inferior to this youtube upload! but the audio is the same. I'm guessing kenjames64 has an out of print DVD that was released using a higher quality master.

[kenjames64]

@Artstar I do.

[brwnhornet59]

Timeless! I am working on this tune now.

[yourelectricjesus]

[pianofortekristina]

[drumsofdoomify]

HOLY SHIT, THATS JOHN LE MESURIER IN THE AUDIENCE AT START!!! he's Wilson from dad's army in case you don't know

[lowebeck]

@drumsofdoomify John Le Mesurier was a big Bill Evans fan and picked Spring Is Here as one of his songs on Desert Island Discs in 1973

[drumsofdoomify]

@lowebeck wow, that's a great factoid. hats off to you sir

[lowebeck]

@drumsofdoomify His other picks were Take The "A" Train - Duke Ellington and his Famous Orchestra. Setting Fire To A Policeman - Peter Sellers. Come Rain Or Come Shine - (From St.Loius Woman) Judy Garland. Easy Living - (Rob Burns clarinet) Alan Clare Trio. What`s New? - Annie Ross. After You, Who? - (from The Gay Divorce) Fred Astaire

[jules0659]

Everything a piano trio should be, but few manage.

[kenjames64]

@jules0659 I might say "none."

[jules0659]

@kenjames64 I might agree :-)

[ChungFat4eva]

@kenjames64 Fair enough, but I think Oscar Peterson did a fantastic job with it.

[ShungyiLin]
