I wish this was not edited.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@daves9377 Not sure what you mean. Please clarify.

[daves9377]

@JazzVideoGuy Sure, I mean Keepnews' opinions on Bill Evans. In some parts it seems he's about to say something interesting and then it's edited. Great Video anyway, and thanks for sharing it.

[JazzVideoGuy]

@daves9377 OIC. He's a man who sometimes goes in different directions when he's talking, like a solo that's improvised, so I had to try and edit his clips in a way that would make sense and have some continuity.

What song is playing in the beginning with the sax?

[JazzVideoGuy]

"Know What I Mean" from the Cannonball Addreley album of the same title.

[VanHoorelbeke]

Ahh,bill still has influence on young pianist, but yes most of the general public doesnt know him. They know Kenny G, a nothing player who makes millions playing mostly out of tune,simple bs-sad

[oldbump]

I miss Bill Evans.

[frugelheifman]

Only one thing has to be understood.

Bill Evans was the most influential pianist in the history of jazz music.EVERYONE after Bill Evans was influenced by this man. This is not an opinion. It's an absolute fact.

Wow! That "ManagerGuy" sounds like quite "the authority"!!!LOL!

I love these videos! thanks for posting them JazzVideoGuy!

I am grateful to know you on here....

All are invited to a BEAUTIFUL Bill Evans master class on his life and music. Type in "Dave Frank" Evans on Youtube. Bill lives!

[RatchaMan]

ManagerGuy1... So, you're a mature cool cat? Your words betray your immaturity and lack of cool.

[ManagerGuy1]

You delete any comments that do not help you make money old man. You are not man enough to admit that this listing on youtube is nothing more than a tease commercial to help you sell product. You make up so much now that Bill is dead - and you present yourself as "the" authority. We know that you write in comments about yourself just to stroke your ego and again, trying to make sales. Bill Evans had the talent, NOT YOU. Don't forget that. I dare you to let this listing stand here.

first tune is Know What I Mean, second is Spring Is Here, is with Scotty, maybe Love For Sale?
