In all the recordings I have of Bill Evans, he plays such immensely thick chords yet never drowns out the other musicians or gets bogged down in excessive harmony. The melody is always clear and in the foreground while he adds layers and layers of nuanced harmonies. Genius.

What a gem, lyric jazz at its best. Two masters working together. What a gift.

This is more from the perspective of the angels flying overhead than from the labour ward.

A little piece of Heaven on this Earth. 'Martina', I think from the same album, makes time stand still, it is so beautiful.

by far best performing of this song!

I keep coming back to this.

I've been a huge Bill Evans fan since I discovered jazz, but I just found out about Burrell. His style would of been perfect in that band Miles put together for Kind of Blue, so I wondered if Burrell ever worked with Evans. Its just as I imagined - two highly nuanced, introspective, and lyrical players coming together. What an experience.

@KhanShin you know...it IS arguable...but I'm afraid I might have to agree with you...seeing Kenny and Evans together on this most wonderful of tunes is completely monumental.An absolutely brilliant performance.

@gabeuop79 you're right about genius. I love all the jazz greats, but Bill's soft classical touch along with his emotion always kills me. Even when he goes for the bebop, he still has that terrific soft feeling.

I worked at Montreux for over ten years (and also played there twice) and I'm absolutely certain that it would have been filmed - but this is a solo clip from a compilation TV prog in the UK about Montreux.
But I'm always looking out for new stuff ..... any you never know ....!
