Bill Evans interveiw 1970

[claudiobenassi85]

Did he loose theet after his addiction?

[rodcrippler]

@claudiobenassi85 I think his teeth were getting worse due to it, but didn't lose them. Amazing musician nonetheless.

7:55-8:12

17 seconds of truth.

[303rookie]

7:27-8:12. One of the most wisest things i've ever heard regarding music. the best way to describe how music should "feel" and why alot of artists music sound flat, no emotion to it. But not his music of course, i cant see how you can spill ya soul out through them keys but he gets it done. Big ups...

[Skinzlivez]

Would he perhaps be on the level of those great classical composers? I think so.

[freddiefreejazzify]

@Skinzlivez I quite agree. For a long time he hesitated between a classical "career" and a jazz one...

[S1elmx]

the guy was just a genuis on piano, im always interested in what he said about the limitations of his classical training.

[rillloudmother]

Everybody digs Bill Evans!

[brwnhornet59]

God I love this guy. What a true genius!!!

[hansis]

this is a gold mine. if i could play even as half as good as bill evans before i die, i will be a content man.

[juanpoyola]

@hansis I don't think anyone could get to a QUARTER of what bill was as a musician

[lastannahme]

...and ahhh....I....ahhhh...what was ....what was te beginning of the question? 1:20! LOL!

[riv3rrun]

00:54, damn she's something! We miss you Bill.

[ctrlzjones]

music&brain is fine, but i don't know what the dentists of the world would have to object here ...

but of course that's not really an issue. even if there may be a little something in common about front teeth and the black and whites of the keyboard. hittin' and loosin' spaces.

no, but serious. why do jazz musicians not make the money they are supposed to. thinking of stings "wanna be" and lady gaga. all have perfect teeth.

long live the idea of jazz. but if they can't bite, then what...

[davidbaronstevensjr]

@ctrlzjones if doctors are paid according to the number of years they've studied their craft, shouldn't jazz musicians be paid for the decades of training it takes to master jazz? shouldn't the older masters be millionaires instead of relying on medicare and social security (if they've even earned enough to qualify for it)?

[MrJadePinwheel]

@ctrlzjones I read his biography and learned bill evans didn't get his teeth fixed till way later on in his career, through a family friend who offered to do it for free. Only then, was he able. Shame for such a genius to have to go through that.

[muffin090]

ahhh the woman's eyebrows at 7:18 so funny

[kevinherbert]

Freedom with responsibility.....sort of like having your cake & eating it 2....

[alsharpton666]

Totally agree with flipperboy (not to sound like a megadeth fanboy)

[uburei]

that woman 0:53 is GORGEOUS

[pascal62]

@uburei WORD!

[flipperboy]

for some bizarre reasons bill's speaking style and mannerisms remind me of dave mustaine

[uburei]

WHAWAHWAHAWHAWHAW, I'm dying to see mustaine's jazz effort

[EchoCannon89]

@flipperboy as far as I know Bill Evans and Dave Mustaine have never been photographed together. I know Bill Evans was an early member of Metallica but then they decided to go in a different, non-jazz direction

[Baruchyoseph8]

@EchoCannon89 That's the other Bill Evans ... (excellent sax player)

[guidobaldo1]

L'intervista è molto interessante, ma sto cercando un'altra parte dell'intervista, stesso giorno e stesso luogo a Helsinky in cui il trio suona "Emily". Dove posso trovarla?

[usc23cal9]

holy shit, the cut at 8:19 is absolutely hilarious.

[brainpoptart]

wow! thank you!

[jibsmokestack1]

Eddie Gomez looks like Tostoa. The great Brasilian football legend.

[slyme1711]

so sad

[bobmor99]

Absolute clarity. A tremendous talent and intellect. Thank you so much for posting.

[Nuxunumo]

this is incredible footage. thanks for uploading! :)

[junka22]

This was filmed in my hometown of Helsinki almost 20 years before I was born, I love Bill Evans and his approach to the piano, that's some very intelligent words on avant-garde jazz as well (referred to as free nowadays?)

[niepce38]

@junka22 :) You may check for the exact address perhaps :) maybe the host guy is still there...

[nadirsharav]

that's is intelligent... :)

[danielhuntsinger]

Nothing superfluous! Technicians, listen up!

[x2mars]

why the edits to the kid picking his nose?

[MrStephengale]

Bill Evans perfects his Jack Nicholson look!

Jack repays the compliment in the film The King of Marvin Gardens ;-))

[no1use]

Eddie Gomez is so young. I've never heard him talk at this age. Any age for that matter. Such a badass.
