My first emotion at 16 years old. I am 75 years old now, and I love him more.

I got to see Bill perform at a club in Boston in 1979 sitting right at the edge of the piano about 6 ft away from him. Unbelievable.

I was playing in a restaurant once and a person walked past me on the way out and said “you must have listened to a lot of Bill Evans”. I couldn’t stop playing in order to talk with him. I would have loved find out what he knew.

My favorite jazz pianist and probably the all time best. His song interpretations speak for themselves, more intuitive and thoughtful than any other jazz pianist, and ethereally beautiful beyond description.

I can't believe I didn't till now write a comment on this Album, see how it say's 1.4 million view's ..I'm at least 40k..lol. great Album and love Bill Evens.

There's been no jazz pianist that has reached the level of elegance Bill Evans holds.

I agree with everyone here. Bill Evans was the master improvisor and he's so great to listen to. Just don't count out the others who've contributed to this genre. Benny Green, Ahmad Jamal, Hank Jones, Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Kenny Barron, the list is truly ENDLESS. It's a wonderful wonderful musical ART. I hope others discover it too. Jazz is alive and well!

Bill. Forever

Bill Evans has to be the greatest jazz pianist who ever lived. Even Miles Davis said he could do what nobody else could. I listen to him daily.

I listen to Bill almost every day for years now. Very nice addition to my life. Never get tired of his playing.

I could listen to Bill until the day I die and I'm 25. I thank life that I have the luck to hear him play in these remaining recordings.

The opening on Time Remembered made me completely stop what I was doing. Such an evocative set of changes.

This is probably the best version of Sugar Plum I’ve heard

In line with Chopin, Debussy, Ravel, Gershwin, simply a true master and genius

the jazz scientist. Pleasure to listen to his jazz trio anytime of day.

Like Miles said, "That sounds like water". Great. Thanks.

29:19 📍 My personal thoughts & feeling on Bill Evans are that he was the best ever. Subjective opinion I know but out of all the jazz pianists I’ve been blessed to hear his sound resonates the most. So when I say best it’s coming from that place, whoever you place atop your list just know I understand how you feel. Peace, love & many blessing to you all

Bill Evans another total jazz genius who was all about improvisation

I heard Bill in a Stern's Department store rug area on West 42nd street in NYC playing an old upright piano and to my amazement produced a typical Bill Evans piano sound. I can't imagine how he did it. Hearing his trio up close at the Village Vanguard turned out to be more my style.

Evans is the Master. He has the velvet touch. Mellow and supremely poetic. A jazz piano LEGEND. I just love listening to him

The CD of this is going for the outrageous price of $898.00. Someone needs to put it back in print at a more affordable price. Music like this should not be available only for the rich.

Bill's playing is great. You can listen to his music daily and enjoy it.

Bill is a magician, I have not heard any other pianist who turns the sound so beautifully

My mother was time just top notch n this was her thing n she was top notch with folks but not to b played with if. 1 wanted 2 live n everyone n to we n. N even states knew her beauty n style. Was it god was so good 2 her now that was girl. From the heart. Always love my mama. Honor big baby dice. Rider die. Arthentic 4 life. 1

that man is my inspiration as a pianist. to put it out simply, he's just making astonishing sounds. And I fucking love it.

The man with the left-hand voicings which started an entire modern jazz revolution.

I am filled with hope every time I listen to Maestro Evans. The emotions are stimulated so completely that I'm able to be a better human every day thanks to his connection. God bless him!

So good. classic, but also perennially fresh... Evans was such a virtuoso.

What a genius! So unique... it's a real joy to listen to him!!👋👋👋

BILL EVANS, genius in his poetic music

何十年経っても、やはりエヴァンスは最高ですね。

やはり最高な音色で 気持ちが和らぎ落ち着きますね 大好きてす ありがとうございました

Omg I am loving this and Live in Buenos Aires. Both late in his career.

It's painfully beautiful like his life. Genius

...there's a time before Evans and a time after Evans...He's the demarcation line from old to modern piano concept. So cool, geometric essential and lightfull like a diamond's shining in the darkness of soul.

best of the best ...nothing short of miraculous......intensely innovative...trio is so tight...what a complex thread of consummate genius..in all three musicians...takes one far away from all the dross and stupidity of a mad world....true peace..

Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, and Red Garland are three of my favorite pianists.

First day of 2022 with Bill Evans gives me faith

It is no coincidence that Miles Davis selected, for the best jazz album in a long period of time, Kind of Blue, great and legendary performers, John Coltrane, Paul Chambers, Cannonball Adderley, Jimmy Cobb, and Bill Evans

This is by far one of his best live performances in my opinion. I hear so many new musical ideas in here it's like he's rerouted his neurons just for this performance.

Wonderful Bill

his delivery of sound is so amazing...

This is the most vibrant and clear and energetic and complex version of Waltz For Debby I have ever heard and the piano instrument is exquisite...maybe it has something to do with the rarefied air of Switzerland...but actually Bill is at his height here......he steadily got more outstanding as the years went on...and this recording is one of the best he ever did...great audience! The energy was heightened and his chordal voicing were beyond amazing...perfect in every way and precise...full of dense expression and lush colors.

Personell: Bill Evans (p), Eddie Gomez (bass), Marty Morell (drums) Track list: 1. Sugar Plum 2. Midnight Mood 3. Turn Out The Stars 4. Gloria's Step 5. Up With The Lark 6. Twelve Toned Tune 7.

The only musician who completed an archetypal journey, evolving from a seminal "impressionist" with LaFaro and ending as the music's noteworthy "expressionist," with the emotive depth of his last trio. (Look for the complete "Consecration" (the first sets of his 8-night stand in San Francisco) and the complete "Last Waltz," the 2nd sets of his 8-night stand--beware redacted subsequent versions that falsely claim 7 nights.).

Bill truly inspires me to improvise on the keyboard!

I would like to thank BillEvansArchive for puting all these wonderful video of a dear dear dear musician that shook the world like no other ! Thank you for your time and effort to compile all of these universal gift !

Never ceases to amaze me. Eddie Gomez shines. That IS bass playing!

Bill's intro to My Romance is incredible! Now I will be listening to that part over and over and over...

The thing that I love discovering about the artistry in a trio or a quartet is the magic that happens, and how someone like Bill Evans draws likeminded people into the realm of his play. For me it's the same in my work. Some people may have called me a jerk, or tell me to get the "stick outta my ***", but I just laugh it off because then I know I'm getting inside them, forcing them to grow. That's what I feel everytime I listen to Bill and his ensemble. Wondering how I will grow today and become a better person, to heighten my skills, fine tune my listening, and witness it to others. God bless Bill Evans and all his family and friends!

Wow, Midnight Mood may be his best and the best solo I've ever heard on a piano.

Bill evans has inspired my multimedia art pieces

Bill Evans is really a head of his time. He introduced ( invented ) a totally new way of playing the piano, as a sort of answer to the Oscar Peterson-way. By doing this, he influenced the whole concept of jazz-piano. You can still hear it on practically all contemporary jazz-pianists.

I love the jazz listening community. Always such pleasant and respectful discussions

ive been listening Bill for 3 years every night…...nonstop

bill evans - a worlds foundation.

Bill Evans is a master , I play his music (fake book) on the piano often, what an inspiration he is absolutely superb!

Just wondrous, so awesome

Wow. Just wow.

superb album right here, old sport.

Thanks to mister rogers, this sound lives in all of us as a moment of peace, serenity and happiness. Thanks to the talented people who have brought such greatness to our lives

No doubt Bill is incredible, but we have to give massive props to Eddie Gomez for his bass in this live performance too. So good!

a pesar del paso de los años y de creer que tengo la mayoria de su musica este mounstro me sigue sorprendiendo. Es eterno

モダンでエレガント、、それでいてシャープな鋭さ。 ビルエヴァンスの心地いいサウンドが 頭に響き渡る

My favorite Bill Evans tune of all time is Time Remembered. Hearing him with this group is amazing! With Eddie Gomez and Elliot Zigmund is special. What a great LP!! Thanks for posting.

I'm so glad I found it here. Thank you so much for posting it.

Amazing! I like to code listening Bill Evans. Sometimes it is hard to let this great music as background while working, but my mind stay clear and focused. Thank you.

Evans can repeat the tunes, but always a new palette, a new song... It sounds so fresh, so unique that the trio tells a whole new story! For example, Waltz For Debby sounds so happy in comparison when it was played in the Village Vanguard with Scott La Faro.

Once I listened to it I immediately fell in love..

Outstanding. I have so many Bill Evans's CD's, this will be a jewel to add to the collection. I've never heard Bill play with such freedom, confidence, and passion. His tunes go right to the heart and soul.

Beautiful album. I believe this is Evan’s at the top of his game, and Gomez is a wonderful bass player.

Bill Evans inconmensurable!

Bill Evans' music thrives with so much personality. Each and every one of his recording is simply beautiful. I can never get enough.

The King Of Jazzpiano.

Electrifying and soothing all at once, the pure genius of Bill is second to none. Bravo!

This is an absolutely superb jazz album. After all of his years with Evans, Eddie Gomez had become a master of the bass. Here the two players make remarkable music.

incredible piano

Thank you so much. He's my absolute n.º 1 JazzMan.

Hello from Japan🇯🇵 Thank you amazing music!!

Dicen que a cada edad en la vida le corresponde una cosa, pues si es así, yo estoy en la edad de Evans y el jazz. Thanks for the oportunity!

just great music

Bill is just fantastic....

A Maha-(great, oceanic, vast) Siddha (supernatural power, precise, nuanced expression) of Jazz. He was simply a Mahasiddha of Jazz.

An absolutely crazy start to any album/performance.

Ce live est un de ses meilleurs avec deux partenaires excellents.On ne s'en lasse pas.

Sublime. Many thanks.

I heard genius starting within 10 seconds of this recording.

This is so awesome, thank you for this gift.

The first track, love how played the 'lick' multiple times without the last note XD

This album, of all his albums, is one of his very best in my opinion. He was really in his element when he recorded this live.

The best jazz piano player ever.
