A great piece of music taken to a new and loftier level which anyone else would have trouble matching. Mr Evans was/is the pinnacle of his art, now and forever.
its all been said about bill evans.he was a creative genius and my favorit pianist. ive listened to him from start to finish of his career and still do almost everyday.genius is a mighty word but i think it applies here.many thanks..
I've collected Bill's albums since 1965, and I am still collecting his music. Hope to receive this CD within the next week. I wish I were able to put into words what his music has meant to me during the years. Had an opportunity to see him with Philly Joe Jones and Eddie Gomez at the Village Vanguard. This is one of the most beautiful and moving performances I have ever heard. And my 20-something-year-old children love him as much as I do. God bless this Jersey boy.
The Bill Evans trios in all their variarions were arguablly the best jazz trios of all time. No less than Miles Davis stated he learned more from Bill than any other musician.
What a shame Bill Evans left us at the age of 51. This piece is remarkably beautiful and touching. Bill takes a pretty song, that in other hands normally sounds like a simple, oversentimental pop tune, and makes it a masterpiece. Bill Evans put his stamp on many standards by making his version THE version to listen to. How sad and remarkable that Ken Burns barely mentioned Bill Evans in his 19 hour "history of Jazz"..... Ken should have stuck to the Civil War.
I'm in awe of Bill Evans. I have known his bass player, Marc Johnson, for almost 40 years, and he has always told me how lovely Bill was as a person. Very humble,very modest and totally genius. I wish I had listened to him more, but now is better than never... RIP Bill. You were one amazing gift to this world...
nothing, NOTHING like this on YouTube or elsewhere. The master took a fantastic composition and gave it his virtuoso touch and turned it into even more of an ethereal dream for the ears............
wow....I didn't have that record. this is so good to still discover Bill's performance. Bless your soul and legacy bill. we miss you- wherever you are, still giving us joy and emotions...
@aammirr hal davids son was the youngest songwriter in ASCAP at the age of 12 ?what songs did he write the word the ,it sounds like a phony tax shelter
Bill Evans es uno de los más grandes pianistas que han existido. Su toque y melodía logran una introspección nunca antes alcanzada. Llega hasta el alma.
You excellent taste in music cannot be denied, or those of us who love this music as well. I love all this beautiful videos you post and thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
So beautiful to listen to, how could anyone not love this music? It's the best.
