      It was a long time ago. It is always amazing to see your hero. Three things I remember to this day. Bill looked sick when he came on stage but once he started playing the energy was intense. I wished the piano had been better and then I quickly stopped noticing that. And Joe Lebarbera kind of reminded me of a classical guitarist the way he sat close to his drums and his feel. I don't know why I had that thought but I remember it.

    Can you imagine being able to play that well in the throes of an addiction from which you'd finally succumb in 18 months? I surely wish he'd gotten the help he needed. Not a day has gone by in twenty years or more that I haven't listened to Bill Evans, and I mean that quite literally. Not one single day.

      Same my friend. My grandfather used to play his music when I was younger. He owned every single vinyl record of Bill Evans. Every single album that he recorded, my grandfather owned. He really introduced me to the world of jazz. I always listen to a song of Bill's, his soft touch on the piano is without equal. The greatest of his time...

      What the hell are you talking about? Evans was a drug user and in poor health in his final years, but it's not as if he was Chet Baker in the "throes of an addiction" as you say it. What a total misrepresentation and over-dramatization of reality. Get real man.

    • @frannyliburd9866
      @frannyliburd9866 Před rokem +18

      @@1122redbird in the biography ‘How my heart sings’ it is detailed that Evans was at a point shooting heroin every 40 minutes and after the death of his brother Harry, he was using several grams of cocaine per day and drinking heavily. Gene Lees called Bill’s death the ‘longest suicide in history’ and even Evans spoke in radio interviews about his acceptance of mortality and his disregard of his physical condition. His life was incredibly tragic and beautiful, though in no means was it defined by his addiction - the level to which he consumed drugs can hardly be overstated and his death was directly related to his chemical dependencies.

  • @caponsacchi
    @caponsacchi Před 12 lety +6

    Bill's stellar performance of this tune Is from Wednesday night of the 16-disc box sets ("Consecration" and "Last Waltz") recorded the week before his ravaged body surrendered. Bill didn't show up, so Denny Zeitlin started the set. When Bill did appear, he was not going to let the audience forget what they'd almost missed. No other pianist could have executed, with dead accuracy, unbroken phrasing, equal digital pressure at blinding speed, his solo. Awesome music. Think Mozart or Verdi Requiems.

  • @caponsacchi
    @caponsacchi Před 12 lety +3

    Between Nov. 1979 and up to his death on Sept. 15, 1980, Bill was a man on a mission, playing every note as if his life counted on it. He gave his life for the music, for the opportunity to introduce his new, rejuvenated trio of Marc Johnson and Joe LaBarbera and his new approach to the piano--no more Debussy; his deep and dark, expressionistic Russian romanticism is even more captivating than his 1961 Vanguard sessions.. He turns time on its head, reinvents swing. Everything by this trio holy.

    El gran Bill Evans, con sus melancólicas y geniales armonías hace un tema de un dibujo animado como obra maestra del Jazz de Cámara menos de un año después de este recital Evans moría, pero produjo un antes y después en el Jazz con su genial

    All I know is that I feel blessed that he ever existed in the first place. And as long as we talk about him, he's still alive. I think he will always be. He is not for the superficial. Sadly, much of todays music has the depth of a birdbath, and in my opinion doesn't qualify as an art form. But perhaps I'm mistaken. He's right for me.

    Bill's tone! The product of broad shoulders, huge hands and thick fingers, producing an outpouring of darkly expressionist Romanticism unlike his early "Debussy" period. The trio forsakes swing and "groove" for a single, collective voice--urgent, forward-leaning, anticipating bars, always a step ahead of the listener. Music unlike any other piano trio before and since. His best "Prince"--blinding speed and no pause would be recorded a week before his death (Wed. night of the 16-disc box set)

Me lo contó mi maestro amigo Enrique una noche..a la raya, ya! del día, sentados en la plaza de Lavapiés, con Antoñito el Chorbo y Jóse Candela presentes... "Amigo escolano, este tío toca, más que por Debussy, por todos los ángeles músicos del paraíso. Tanto que no le he sacado aún ninguna falseta para agradecerle. También se lo contó al hermano Metheny en los jardínes del Generalife cuando estaban grabando el mejor, casi, disco de Enrique.

    @lmnop1022 Drugs didn't cause the "decline" of Jazz. Drug addiction is a consequence of being human. Musicians and non-musicians get addicted to drugs, alcohol, or other vices. Jazz was popular during the 40's-70's and now other forms are popular. Music progresses...has life of its own. Mozart was "popular"(after death) also. And so was gregorian chants!
