i love how he says every time "just the first 8" or even "just the 1st phrase" and both he and Bill become too captivated that the music just keeps going on and on way past the original intent.
It's amazing that this video was made with the non-musician in mind; Bill and Harry certainly give professional musicians a lot to ponder here, too. A great reminder of why we do what we do. Thank you, tdkemi, for posting this beautiful film.
Our public library has this video. It's fantastic. Bill and his brother. They died close together. They were very close. The story of his last days in "Bill Evans: How My Heart Sings" by Peter Pettinger is so very, very sad. All he wanted to do was play and at the early age of 51 he died.
truly a huge inspiration in my life. i studied this technique of learning how to play jazz growing up. here's my vid, i'm amazed of how much bill evans influences my playing even today.

Ya I saw that. Jazz is like "freedom" within the structure, and I can only imagine that it's difficult to play the basic melody/harmony...

Great to see someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm a new Bill Evans fan after seeing this video.
