no other pianist captured your mind like bill.but sometimes i wish he had stuck to the 30mph limit on these lovely ballads.never the less he was a master.no doubt.many thanks.
i saw bill evans perform this song solo piano at carnegie hall 40 years ago. i always enjoyed the great painists like bill and erroll garner solo. these videos keep the art of bill and fellow greats alive and allow future genreations to enjoy this beauty and genius !!!
I got a book of bill evan's interpretations. It gives me shivers that i played (of course no where near as well) the same notes that bill did. He is THE master.
I've been listening to Bill for 41 years, starting when I was a sophomore in college. I have a daughter named Emily, and this song played a part in my naming her. His playing is so lyrical, like a Keats or a Chopin. I listen to him almost every day of my life. Thanks for this great video!
The introduction is really profound. I never know who can interprete such amazing harmony like him in the world. I felt obsess in this Emily version right now. I really feel thanks to Bill Evans for making such wonderful harmony to make the world beautiful and alive.
I'm glad everyone gets along on these comments!!! I listen to a lot of death metal and technical metal, and people fight and troll each other all day long on those comments! It's absolutely terrible. This video is amazing, by the way. It's so chill and relaxing.
Does anyone know if this version is on any album?

What an excellent intro. He plays the tune in A one time before modulating back to G. Only Bill can play so effortlessly in whatever key he wants.

yeah.. Bill played this tune in my living room too awhile ago.
Not.
I would assume that the audience there were unaware that they were a part of history. the history of beauty in music. Really no words for this stuff.
