Bill Evans Trio featuring Stan Getz - The Peacocks

[nammikallinn1]

I love how everyone commenting, comment nice and not with those ignorant youtube comments, i am at peace.

Thanks for the post!

This song is simply surreal!

[jimaroo100]

Thanks for posting - I think its great that pearls of beauty like this get exposure here. I can't own all the music of my favorites but I can listen to them all here.

I didn't know Gets and Evans had collaborated... again it seems like an unlikely pairing but the result is awesome.

[amocrule1]

Both Stan Getz and Coltrane, died from liver cancer, really sad. And of course Bill Evans, died from heroin addiction.

Rest in peace.

[MrSilversaxophone]

This music is beyond the world.

[billystrayhornsghost]

This is a work of art...

[k1awdttt]

That was so good...

[salvaticas]

In my opinion, one of Bill Evans' greatest recorded solos

[jxwhad]

Yes, one of the greatest performances. Like a place where you don't otherwise know how to get to.

[twistboytube]

FREEDOM

[pastorius999]

jjejejejjee:))



[bubyuki]

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST GREATEST PERFORMANCE OF MUSIC.

[ltbmuse]

Oh the sound, the sound - how does Stan Getz make a tenor sax sing like that?

And with Bill Evans the master of introspective harmonic brilliance this takes you to a special place where all you can do is listen and be enraptured by the peacocks dazzling display.

[Sanyahoo]

At 6:43, Stan Getz wish Bill a happy birthday.

It was August 16, 1974, Bill was 45 years old

[jxwhad]

It's brain surgery while enjoying some kind of incredible meal.

[Sepharite]

That's all Jazz needs. A piano player and a sax. Beautiful.

[kiwitwistmusica]

summerr babyyyyy!!

[paganmaestro]

This lovely Jimmy Rowles song will live and last. Jimmy's session with Getz features it.

[swinggeist]

@paganmaestro Indeed. Check a contemporary, all string, gypsy jazz version from France by Sebastian Giniaux. Incredible. But still Jimmy's will live forever....

[moxievisioninfo]

Also see Eric Watson The Peacocks.

[kofthebaskervilles]

It's wonderfull beyond words to have this forum to hear such incredible things.

We are so lucky.

[blueunclechas]

one of my favorite tunes. where did you find that amazing image of bill evans!

[solomiotube]

I`m in love with that tune. Lovely, really!!

Thanks

[spadge1able]

fantastically cool.who can't but really really dig this.such feeling by all the players.top draw stuff.

[nedsammy]

searched for the psychobilly band The Peacocks, saw this, and thought, "heh... sure."

and it's damn good

[knowledgebanc]

Maybe not the,. coolest men in Jazz, but cool nonetheless.

[IAmAlexJM]

To me, the most enticing part of jazz is not the improvisation or the massive layering of the big bands or even the intricacies of cool jazz, it's the incredible fact jazz musicians are so transcendent in their work and they understand the true joy in playing music for music's sake, thus resulting in amazing collaborations such as The Jazz Messengers, anyone who has ever worked with Miles Davis, and this very tune.

The two coolest men in all of jazz: what a musical experience unlike any other.

[Docnolan1953]

@IAmAlexJM A meeting of two jazz geniuses here....... doing Bull's mst beautiful compositin.

This is beyond wonderful.



[gogodol]

i feel sorry for people who don't know bill...

[Phtodan]

You are right. It was Wayne Shorter. I stand corrected.

[bronxboy47]

Two masters at prayer.

[Phtodan]

Classic jazz. Dexter Gordon also does a fine job on this tune in the sound track from Round Midnight. Thanks for posting this beautiful, haunting piece.

[Francozen]

@Phtodan It wasn't Dexter, but Wayne Shorter. However, you're right, this version is really great ;)

And this one, with two of the most lyrical jazz musicians ever... The best, for me

Guys, get the "But Beautiful" CD, it's really a gem!

[speakwhnspkn2]

It is sad that drugs/the drug lifestyle took both of these great geniuses away from us far too soon. Bill Evans, along with McCoy Tyner, was probably the most influential pianist of the latter half of the twentieth century. Stan Getz's tone is so beautiful here and also very haunting. This is a real gem and I'm glad someone posted it on here.

[fevkin50]

I so love this, I can't even express how much. I had recorded it onto tape some years ago and didn't know what it was called, or even that it was with Bill Evans - the best version in my opinion. I managed to track it down on Spotify by a painful process of elimination! Will we see their like again?

[zranney2]

thank you so much for uploading this, i remember i searched for this a few years ago trying to find it...one of my favorites

[farshorestrade]

bleu que le bleu

[tskaladiotis]

APLA...GA-MA-TO!!!!!!!!!!!

[hellref]

someone got a music sheet (lead sheet) of this piece it is absolutly

beautyfull, if someone can put a link or send it to me it would be great

this combination of bill evans and stan getz is wonderfull, out of this world...

[scopaz]

@hellref The lead sheet for this is available in the Sher publication The World's Greatest Fake Book Ever.

[one1byone1]

sab brosooo

[Alemayehu45]

Something sacred about the pairing of these 2 transgressive masters of lyricism. The composer of this masterpiece, Jimmy Rowles, was a favorite accompanist of the exquisite vocal artists Billie Holiday and Carmen McRae.

[barrtok]

I love this interpretation. Always wondered if the actual date was August 16, 1974 (Bill's Bday) or August 9, 1974 (as indicated in the liner notes).

[oidad]

she's a WOOKIE.

[josiahyoung]

Bluer than blue....

[Gruntol5]

Excruciatingly beautiful tune by Jimmy Rowles. Sounds like a difficult piece to play on the piano. I wonder what key it's in.

[maccami]

The key?Bb minor.Great piece.

[Gruntol5]

@maccami : Thanks!

[MrRickywallace]

I agree. Is this album available?

jazzmajor

[jatd104]

The Album is Bill Evans Trio ft. Stan Getz - But Beautiful

[MrRickywallace]

Thanks, jatd104.

Do you know where I can purchase Evans's Buenos Aires concerts?

[jatd104]

Nope, maybe try Amazon?

[Thelaofkazi]

Wow, what a great random find.

[drjcs3]

What an inspired choice of song for two of the great lyrical jazz musicians. I could only wish they had been able to work together longer.

[lausol]

Irreprochable.
