Waltz for Debby - Bill Evans

[FinestxGB]

RIP Paul Motian....died yesterday. Thank you for all you have given to music

[VLuchansky]

In the full concert, which is also here: youtube .com/watch?v=aX7KkVanSEo , we can clearly hear that Humph names musicians in the beginning of the show. And - yes, this is not Scott.

[spencerrich]

It's Israels and Bunker. LaFaro and Motian were Evans first regular trio, though he recorded with the unrelated Joneses that played on the Bud Powell album, Time Waits. Not sure who played on the debut album. There's no live Evans footage with LaFaro.

[YungShady01]

and the Scott and Paul trio wasn't Bill Evans' first trio, but the greatest, sorry

[lucabrasi123451]

Who is the idiot that wrote Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian in description?!? This is obviously Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker!!! Next you will be saying that Freddie Hubbard was Lee Morgan's GODFATHER!!!!

[lucabrasi123451]

You Guys are blind.... That IS Scott LaFaro!

[lucabrasi123451]

Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! It's Chuck Israels! Hey! That's not Scott LaFaro! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEY!!!!!

[stretch54]

Yeah...this version is actually from 1965 in London. Four years or so after Scott LaFaro passed away. Chuck Israels is a fine substitute on bass IMO.

This is a fantastic version of this tune. It swings more at this slightly faster pace.

[lucabrasi123451]

@stretch54 Isreals was in no way a "fine substitute on bass" because this is indeed Scott LaFaro in the video!!!!

[123must]

I agrre : on bass Chuck Israels, on drums Larry Bunker.

In anycase thei are magnificet mmusicians.

Thank you a lot

[spadge1able]

the only version that matters.

[matveisbc]

i wanna know wat wierdo can actulally push no only 1 which is great cuz every town has to have a idiot haha

[rillloudmother]

@matveisbc for real though

[matveisbc]

most beautiflu melody i juss cant get enough of it strange musik shuld always b simple that makes it more cuz it comes in the way u play those notes with expression and not juss to much crazienss cuz then u dont feel the true meanin of the artist like a poem its not too much but the artist makes it much with the way they recirte it....

[ehanbameh1]

bill and scotty.... Bill was never the same after 61. chuck israel is perfectionist. scotty is more repulsive ramdom, almost out of control beauty.

I do not think scotty was ever recorded in film with bill.

this waltz for debby film was recorded on London 1965.

[ehanbameh1]

chuck

[naoki1913]

[leweeja66]

[estudiomonteverdi]

La Faro

[jorgeuds]

RIP

Scott LaFaro

Why did you let us?

[casa0125]

残念ながらこのベーシストはラファロではなく、チャック・イスラ­エルズです。でもとても素敵な曲、良い演奏です。

[PelucoBass]

SCOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

[lealtadperonista]

scott lafaro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrTokyocool]

Not really. ;)

[elgordo420]

@lealtadperonista Despite the info for this video, those are neither Scott LaFaro nor Paul Motian - the bassist here is Chuck Israels and the drummer is Larry Bunker

[stretch54]

This might be my favorite video on Youtube. What a gorgeous melody and performance! Bill Evans was maybe the most expressive jazz pianist to come along.

[maddi62]

This is nice

[jorgealbertobaron]

GRAN ARTISTA

[gnolti]

Bill was jazz's answer to classical music.

[JazzNbossa]

My father was used to say: "Bill plays the piano as the piano has to be played"

[glassbreaker5791]

um is your father Miles Davis?

[MicrobeObliteratorMo]

lol i was just ganna say that

[Alffovinni]

Magnificent Long Live Bill!!!

[Sh4n3n]

GREAT... JUST GREAT...Jazz is food for the SOUL!! thank you!!! UP!

[loekiedepo]

wtf.. this isnt Scott LaFaro..? and it isnt Paul Motian either.. plz tag the real names Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker!

But, apart from the names, this video is AWESOME!!! keep the music alive...

[marconigrama]

Lloré de felicidad, de dicha. !Qué bueno es estar vivo para escuchar esta maravilla!. Gracias VIDA.

[nachube]

The info text is confusing.. In this video the trio is with Larry Bunker on drums, and Chuck Israels on bass.. Also, I can't see why you tagged the video with DrThiMarques, John Coltrane, Stanley Jordan, and Bebop... Those are the kinds of tags that make YouTube a mess...

I suggest that you tag it with the real name of the players...

Thanks, and Peace..

[cheezdoodles27]

yeah that's definitely chuck israels, not scott lafaro

[mjulio71]

This is great! One little note though: that's not Paul Motian, but one of the most underrated West Coast drummers of that period, Mr. Larry Bunker.

[Drumcrazymax]

@mjulio71 I agree Larry bunker was very underrated,his brush work is amazing and his hand and foot coordination fantastic. he has influenced me,as a drummer for many years I only wish I had had the opportunity to thank for his great work before he passed over,he is a great study for any young drummers coming up.wonderful.thanx Larry.

[micheleiac]

grazie per questo video,  superlativo.

[stretch54]

Beautiful composition and performance. One of my favorite videos here.

[malilacreuse]

mon maitre a penser!! debbie a maintenant la quarantaine c est une belle femme et valse fort bien

[MirageMC]

The best ... This song is the soundtrack of my life!

[keyakki]

あぁ、なんかたまんなくなってきた。

あぁ、良すぎる。

[wots72]

incomparable

[silverscape1]

Nope this is Scott Lafaro. Quote Wikipedia:

"aFaro died in an automobile accident in the summer of 1961 in Flint, New York on US 20 between Geneva and Canandaigua[3], two days after accompanying Stan Getz at the Newport Jazz Festival. It was also just ten days after recording two live albums from the same performances, Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debby with the Bill Evans Trio

[DrThiMarques]

Very well remembered, thank you for your words.

[alfred1357]

Jazz tunes are performed and recorded many many times. This video seems like a recording session after Scott LaFaro died. Of course this tune is best known with performance by Scott LaFaro, the bass player playing here in the video is Chuck Israels.

[nachube]

Silverscape1:

That qoute doesn't mean anything.. In this video the bassist is Chuck Israels.. You can go and check his homepage for pictures and will see. Also, check for Scott Lafaro.. he doesn't look like this. Nor did he sound like that, either.. The lines on the arrangement where his, though, but Israels learned all the lines when he joined the trio.. (you can read some Bill Evans bio, as well)

Please don't take me as arguing.. Just want to let things clear..

Peace,

[silverscape1]

Ah yes, well done for correcting me, still a good piece though.

[Bluesmen88]

That's not LaFaro on bass, that's Chuck Israels.

[gonzacarmele]

@silverscape1 this is Chuck Israels, he doesn't sound like LaFaro, and doesn't look like him neither...

[6erAnimeBassist]

its really not man do know how lafaro plays and sounds. Some people are confused as they have heard of Lafaro as a great bassist and this clip the bass playing is great however its Chuck Israels not the same tone and touch as Lafaro. and on another note this is video. There are pictures of Scott and he doesn't look like this, this is however Chuck Israels, he sounds like him and looks like him.

Either way its great playing, but you are misguiding people here, with your description.

[utubuser10]

@silverscape1 this is chuck israels;

[tkdmaster3bd]

@silverscape1

yeah this not scott lafaro. Chuck Israels on bass and Larry Bunker on drums.

[lucabrasi123451]

Wikipedia is a JOKE!!!!! This is obviously Scott LaFaro IN THE FLESH!!!!@silverscape1

[utubuser10]

@silverscape1 SO WHAT'S THE POINT? THIS IS NOT SCOTT LEFARO. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!!!!!!

[markyp19]

well said scott lafaro died in 1960 if i am not mistaken.

[iSergio]

this is not scott lafaro

[wayneshorter3]

and it's not paul motian...

[wayneshorter3]

it's larry bunker and chuck israels
