I just spent all day one day listening to Bill Evans, and thought man life is fucking beautiful and when nothing is going your way at least we have music.

this year, i started listening to a LOT of 1950s music....cuz that was a REAL vacation from our modern hell. (I love my classic rock and prog bands, but they're too modern and remind me of this terrible society we live in today.) Plus all that 1950s music was about SIMPLE things like kissing a girl. And recently I realized PSYCHEDELIC music is also a Great Escape, cuz it's like I'm on drugs but I didn't have to buy any drugs!

This was the trio that played Ronnie Scotts' club in the late sixties, Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian, and Bill took this band to Europe afterwards. My good fortune was to be conducted to the seat/ table to the right and rear of Bills keyboard, about six feet away from him, by Ronnie, who saved the best seats for visiting musicians who he knew would sit quietly listening, instead of talking and distracting. My friend Peter Taylor Wood and myself were working musicians in Dean Street, around the corner, and after our gig, we went into Ronnie's regularly. We sat through three sets listening to these great players, not knowing that history was being made there. Happy Days, and Bill was at his peak in my opinion.

@wahnee2 роки тому
I was born in 1961 - when Bill cut the Live at the Village Vanguard performances with his original trio. Now that I'm 60, I appreciate his music more than ever. I was a latecomer to jazz, introduced to it in college in 1981. I missed 20 years of this, as it was happening! Since college I've traveled the world and find a jazz club in every city - Ronnie Scott's in London, Nardis in Istanbul, now defunct places in New York, LA and SF were some of my favorites. Watching this lifts my spirits, but fills me with such a sense of loss.

Bill had a way of showing immense love for the beautiful pure intervals, the octave and the fifth, and used more dissonant intervals as a way to introduce contrast and highlight those beautiful resonances all the more when it was their time to be heard again. It takes darkness to really appreciate the sunlight. While many jazz players focused on the dissonances, Bill was all about those beautiful resonant intervals and chords.

@@uwanttono4012 I think what Turboy65 is saying is that certain chords and intervals (fourths, fifths and octaves) have a wide open airy sound as compared to other chords that contain close intervals like half-steps or whole steps, which can have a "dissonant" sound or a "closed" or "dark" feeling. Those kinds of chords would include sharp ninth chords or a 13th chords, which are typically identified as "jazzy" sounding. Of course, there are many other such chords. And of course, Evans' playing was much more than chord selection, but that was part of it.

This starts so very gentle like a young ballerina taking a short moment to find her pose... Such delicateness... spirit and creativity...... openness..... without judgement....... while owning a confidence.... Bless the writers and creators who evolve and go in their own direction with a smile. Taking time to learn all of those who came before you but staying true to yourself... Believing in your Originality is the key to moving forward.

All the good ones go after him. Bill Evans, supreme. Thanks.

Sus lineas melódicas sincopadas y polirritmicas, su fraseo es característico en Evans. Poseía una gran sensibilidad, una visión introspectiva, un lirismo sereno, un "feeling", lleno de emoción y un toque de gran sutileza.

The mental and emotional focus is astonishing. Observing Bill Evans play should become fundamental basic academic rigor for young people everywhere. Look, feel, and listen at what can come from a highly disciplined and focused mind and heart. This friends, is what art can be.

Some of Bill Evan's music makes me happy and sad at the same time. I can't explain or understand that, but his music is awesome.

Never heard anyone play with such a soft expressive touch. He actually makes the piano sound like something other- worldly and sublime. Truly amazing. Perfection.

In the past, I have not been much of a fan of piano music because I didn't give it adequate attention. I remember when bill Evans played with Miles, I pretty much ignored him. Years later I firdt heard Waltz for Debby, i suddenly was so impressed by the piece tha I seriously wanted to know who this guy was. I wasn't disappointed. I found a musician who fused his heart and soul into everything he did, and it always came out beautiful. Nowadays I pay more careful attention to pianists. I don't want to miss another Bill Evans.

This is Bill at the top of his game, not saying anything new here that the band's sensitive and intuitive interplay, Bill's innovative harmonic and compositional genius and his ability to "live inside the music" is magical and extraordinary. One of the best things I have ever seen or heard.
