Rest in peace, Great Master, you've done it: you have changed the world!

He was but 16 days from leaving us, bound for the ages. The notes he struck, much as with the words sung by Sinatra, will resonate within the souls of those who live centuries from now. No matter how debased the popular culture becomes, the effect of genius shall endure and thrive.

living in the bay area, a friend and i went to see the bill evans trio at the intimate keystone corner on one of those september evenings. it was fantastic. i rarely use this phrase, but his playing was at times transcendent - you could feel it from the sounds he was producing from that piano. we were sad to hear that he had died the following week, and made it a mission to try and see as many other artists we had put off seeing "for another time" because they can and will go at any time. the keystone corner had so many incredible acts during its run - bill evans was one of the many that performed there.

just before he passed the threshold he gave all his soul into this most superb and more than fantastic play. what a life! what a genius! what love! BillEvansArchive, thank you so for this precious gem!

So beautiful by a genius who made the world a better place for us with his gift of piano.

I go to the full box sets (16 CDs) of "Last Waltz" and "Consecration" (sept. 1980) more than the more celebrated first trio with LaFaro. Bill had emerged from Debussy "impressionist" to Rachmaninoff "expressionist," playing moreover with two younger musicians fully in accord with the pianist's vision--his left hand and "mental meter," respectively. Bill's anticipatory harmony required musicians who could, like him, think "ahead of the moving chords," not merely behind the beat or "in the pocket." In return, Bill was utterly devoted to them and never ever wanted to fail them on a single session, remaining too preoccupied to give a 2nd thought to a studio session. No need or gain.

Music like this Transcends

Bill Evans--a true genius & a person whose soul is always on display. Thanks UKposts for these recordings.

Some of it sounds like nature to me - like cascading water or snowflakes which is probably why it is so soothing. Cannot get over how quickly he moves his fingers. What an incredible talent and gone too soon but his music will live on forever.

I add my thanks to you for putting this music on UKposts so that others may discover it. I am fortunate to live with the 8 CD's of this Last Waltz and most of his others work. It began when I bought an LP of Waltz for Debby in the late 60s. That amazing recording led me to seek out more of his work until his death. His play opened pathways to a wonderful range of feelings and a sense of life's values that continue to delight and amaze me.

transports me somewhere at once mysterious, merry, and magical....the Neighborhood of Make Believe came to mind several times for whatever reason! I'll be waiting at the next trolley stop....

Un genio... Qué placer en su música! Gracias por este concierto para siempre!!

Listening to him for the first time trying to guess or to know why this video was suggested to me by UKposts. Bill Evans my respects. I've never heard about you before but I'm starting to love that piano sounding in my house.

Muchas Gracias por compartir esta obra de arte, patrimonio de la humanidad. Estás con nosotros Bill, en nuestra mente y corazones. Gracias Bill y a todos los músicos que lo acompañaron. Siempre se hizo acompañar de muy buenos músicos. Saludos desde México.

Pianista. UNICO

Matchless Bill Evans. He has been a great gift to me.

Talk about going out with a bang Rest In Peace

Fantastically marvelous! Especially when disc three repeats twice! That's my fav too!

Turn out the stars: Let eternal darkness hide me If I can't have you beside me. Put out their fires! Their endless splendour Only reminds me of your tenderness. Stop the oceans roar, Don't let the rivers run; Let me hear no more The wondrous music of the skylark in the sun; Let it be done. Turn out the stars: shut off their light, Stop every comet in it's magic lonely flight, Let there be night, Turn out the stars. [Gene Lees]

Bill evans, l'ultimo vero ROMANTICO di un pianissimo unico , nell'unico modo in cui , si poteva esserlo sen-za mai scadere nelle emozioni .

Bill Evans what can I say? Sublime music.

Cuanta belleza nos regaló el inigualable Evans. A pocos días de morir, cierra el telón con este concierto despedida de una vida plagada de talento y música maravillosa. Un regalo para el mundo!!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm enjoying this more than most of his recordings as he hasn't given the bass player and drummer a lot of time. I've often felt, with Jazz recordings, that the musical flow of a piano is interrupted with long bass and drum solos.

Thanks to BillEvansArchive. And, always and forever, thank you Bill.

Amazing.

Disc 5 starting at 4:36:44 is the music I have listened the most to in my whole life.

Wonderfull….❤

If you wanna skip commercials click on 8:18:44 and then replay

Thank you for posting this timeless music. Real art.

A few days after this concert, on September 15 1980, Bill Evans died.

Inavvicinabile!!!la droga lo ha ucciso ma allo stesso tempo lo ha elevato in un'irraggiungibile dimensione musicale.

Rubato is Bill's forte. As time goes by, this touch will be more valued, as music becomes more simple and drone like, with inanely numb beats of rhythm. Bill likes to go up in key; this brightens every song he plays, which really contradicts the notion hat he's melancholy.

He had pursued not only the harmony but the Idea of a perfect Harmony, and I think he suceeded.

Nobody can touch Bill Evans on "Nardis." He is the Grand Master; the black belt who humiliates other black belts.

Absolutely & forever

Thanks Bill Evans , thanks fans!!!

Thank you for this!R.I.P.Bill Evans.

Bill ....a real romantic hero

Ele me faz companhia em tempos de isolamento, aqui no RJ, BR. Adoro!

Paul Desmond Dave Brubeck Bill Evans are what I call a weekend

The best....so far....

Excelente music

This precious recording of 31 years ago

Magnificent. What else can one say?

imagine Bill Evans make song exceptions just for you

His last Waltz yet we keep swinging with BIll forever. Sad that just weeks after this performance I understand that he died.

We don't know about each other a lot , but , we exactly understand that our taste in music is great

*damn this beautiful.*

The one and only

Classic ! All thru the years

Best piano trio concert ever! ❤️

awesome chords.

I love the stand up bass ----kudos to Marc Johnson.

I may repeat myself but I dont't care: He's my absolute n.º 1 JazzMan.

MITICO !

Piano is a little too compressed for my taste, but the playing is pure brilliance, as usual. Thanks for running the channel.

The master

Sort of easy does it music - take a moment and relax because nobody can do that for you.

It's not long enough!

This is really nice to hear. Just a note that Emily was written by Johnny Mandel. It wouldn't be a bad idea to credit it.

one smooth day of work

There is duplication of recording, what he says at 2:22:42 is the very same recording as 3:23:20. Otherwise very thankful and happy for you posting these recordings.

Are these sessions in this album recorded in the matinee part of the same week as those in "Consecration" album ? Bill's artwork, though equally transcendental, sounds a little different from their evening session.

Thumbs up 👍🏼 for the music. Thumbs down 👎🏽 for the repulsive number of ads. Dude.

Does anybody know, is the BE Archive channel official, something directed by his estate or children? The content is absolutely fantastic. It's sad listening to these sets, knowing that Bill would be gone days after this was recorded.

Great Jazzz...only by Masters !...

Anyone has the cumulative timings of the songs in this recording? Thanks!

I love you so much 🌞 🕊️ 🌈 🌹 ❤️ 🍒 🐞

Who were the personnel on this? Bass is KILLIN’

1.9K likes and 46 idiots. Bill Evans genious!

At 2:46 - 3:46 the recordings have already been played just before, they’re just repeating. Disc 3 is on here twice.

This precious recording is the evidence of many statements, as follows: 1. Jazz enables real time creation of perfect composition of music; 2 Bill Evans is the highest ever jazz musician on the piano;. 3. Many other description or statement may potentially follow, but my poor English literacy doesn’t allow to continue.

Bang goes tonight's sleep then:)

Nothing to add.

The best pianist for me is Oscar Peterson and the second Bill Evans.He is kind to play!
