This compilation collects the complete February 6, 1972 concert by the Bill Evans Trio that was first aired by A la Masion de la Radio in Paris and subsequently issued on two individual CDs by France's Concert. The pianist, joined by bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell, is in top form throughout the performance, even if the first half of the concert is a bit laid-back for Evans. But drawing from a walk of material, including numerous originals, there's also the haunting "Turn Out the Stars" and the bittersweet "The Two Lonely People," on which the trio gathers steam in the second half, with a wild romp through Evans' demanding "Twelve Tone Tune" and a delightfully breezy treatment of "Very Early" (showcasing Gomez), along with a moving rendition of Denny Zeitlin's gorgeous requiem "Quiet Now" among the highlights. The final track is from a Yugoslavian jazz festival recorded a few months later and previously issued on the Enja compilation Live at the Festival with British drummer Tony Oxley in Morell's place. Evidently due to lack of rehearsal and familiarity working with Evans, Oxley never really blends in very well with the pianist and Gomez in the extended workout of "Nardis." But due to the excellent performances by Evans and Gomez, this is a rewarding disc that returns once rare music to print. - เพลง
I never tire of him. He was a genius.
Exactly; his music has been moving me deeply, without fail, for more than sixty years.
Having grown up in Southern California in the 1960’s and early 1970’s I was very fortunate to have seen Bill Evans live at Shelley’s Manne Hole on several occasions with this trio. I thought I had all of his albums but don’t have this one. His Paris concert in 1972 is truly magical!!!
If you are here during quarantine , know you are a part of a
rare community
Same here
Here listening to this exceptional music during quarantine - and happy to do so.
please listen to Stan getz/bill evans album called "but beautiful", i think it was in 1974
Gotta do it with class.
@@ignaciocastoldi Grandfather's Waltz is my favourite.
I cannot imagine getting tired of Bill Evans. I love listening while I work, while I cook, while I eat, even when I drive (coz it makes me relax more).
@Director HFerreira Buddhist tentpole...nice.
I listen to him when taking a poo
But...why don't WHILE having SEX .... splendid hours ... must be ... 😍😍😊😄
Even? I'd say especially!
@@tanapatpeemanee1230 кто о чем а ты о сексе 🤣
When I'm about to take the Big Exit, Bill's music, an unfailing source of comfort over more than sixty years, will be close by.
bill evans makes every day a better day
I got into Bill Evans when the pandemic started. This album really helped me through some lonely times when nothing made sense. Thank you for uploading. Very inspirational performances.
Bill Evan's was a truly gifted piano player and composer. His beautiful soul still shines through with every piece he plays.
The magic of Bill Evans in every note he plays. Music for the soul. Thanks from Italy
Exactly in every note , magic
I fell in love with Bill Evans after having loved and respected him for years. When i had my first bereavement he helped us through it so much. I love all historic Jazz musicians but Bill just has that something extra......for me.
I was fortunate to hear Bill Evans perform in person in San Francisco about a week or so before his untimely death. Listening to his music made my life so much better!
WOW 😲 that really cool!! What year did you see him?
That would have been in September 1980.

The greatest jazz pianist of all times!!!! God bless you Bill.....
Bill is gone, but we have his recordings.
Don't forget to mention Mc Coy Tyner
. Before you listen, close your eyes. I never heard this first song before; soon, I was in tears. Like "Life is really hard; but this too shall pass. . ."
Bill Evans plays like Picasso paints, in a dimension rarely discovered by artists.
Re: Person I Knew...Orrin Keepnews anagram... Bill's first recording manager at Riverside Label.
Greetings from France
1972, I was eighteen, just beginning to hear the light. After Trane and the new fusion, I was discovering the 70's saving grace Jazz, and the members of the diverse Miles Davis combinations. In one of his brilliant evolutions, was the great Bill Evans, thank you for eternal music.
Wow, Bill on the piano is exemplary, drummer is top notch. Wish more people would recognize the sophistication of jazz....
How does a Jazz Trio get any better than these guys, ... impossible....... what a quality recording for 72....
I put on Bill Evans and just listen all day. Great background music for all occasions (in my house anyway). He keeps everything smooth.
As amazing as he was on these recordings, you never hear about Eddie Gómez.... But man, just LISTEN to what he does here!
When I was a young boy my brother used to play Bill Evans. Big bro. gave me a real education in jazz.
Insuperable ....lo digo hoy .....Febrero 2022....tremendo ...🎹🎼🎶🙏....saludos de Argentina 🇦🇷 👏
Vamoooooo
🙋
Legendary pianist Glenn Gould said, Bill was the only jazz pianist he'd heard who knew how to extract the proper tone from a grand piano..
I've wondered about them both - brilliant pianists, one in Toronto, the other In New York, Glenn playing the Goldberg variations and other Bach to perfection, and Bill practising Bach for a year when he felt he needed to learn more from Bach about how to play jazz- a kind of beautiful kinship/twinship of musical souls.
I knew a Bill Evans who marked the prices up in the bookmakers, other one who was an electrician and a school teacher with the same name. This could be the life and dream's of all you Bill Evans and the like out there, sit back and enjoy this roll of pure brilliance.
The interplay between the members of this trio expresses the Classical aesthetic of beauty and economy. This quality of playing is very rare in contemporary Jazz and demonstrates the durability and expressiveness of this approach. Evans " playing the silences " as attentively as the notes themselves puts him into a class of one.
Love this Bill Evans trio. Marty and Eddie are superb and add so much drive to Bill.
I agree, and I suppose everyone has their favorite Bill Evans trio personnel. I think for Bill, it was the one with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian (spelling?), but this one rates, certainly. Bill did vary the lineups of his recordings, but the trio format was the one he always came back to. I love them all, and have a particular fondness for the "Loose Blues" quintet with Zoot Sims, and Jim Hall. I think love was at the heart of Bill Evans' music.
This is as close to heaven on earth as you can get.
Amen that!! Bill Evans is in the big jam session in the sky now Rest In Peace ✌️🕊️
What idiot would give this a thumbs down? This is an amazing concert and we should be grateful that we can listen to it in its entirety.
I agree...
Could have been a fat finger. I've done it.
Sorry I'm not good at English. I've been loved Bill Eavns for over 40 years.
I'm so glad to hear his emotional playing here, so thank you very very very much!
that is nothing to apologize for.
Also you have great taste in music
@@user-um5ky7jw4q
Thank you so much!
Your English is fine and actually better than many whose first language is English! I love everything Bill Evans plays.
@@maureen7746
Thank you so much, I`m so glad to hear that!
@@user-hq2jt6nm3o only the language of Jazz is needed. Best Wishes
During the most difficult times for the human body, a return to what music you feel best with is comforting.
Man, I like what Eddie Gomez is doing on this record. Masterful bass playing.
True !
Hell yeah 😱 huge.... ❤️
Eddie Gomez was still playing not too many yrs ago & perhaps He still is now
that's what i'm saying!
Yes sir!!
The years are very good to the music Bill Evans and his various trios made …. rises to the top of all that came from that age.
Takes my breath away...
The intro to Nardis just unbelievably good. I listen to those two minutes on repeat and each time when the band comes in it’s straight eyes rolling back magic. What a gift music is, Thank you Bill and trio.
Fantastic. Bill Evans, lord of the Jazz.
When bill gave this concert, i was 6. When later in my life i discovered the magic art of bill's, i stopped ageing...
Immortal bill.
We r nearly the same age ...and the same have been receiving Bill's Influences ... on our minds .... so far
I dont know why I like jazz. The fabulous baker boys, leaving las vegas, and low down are some of my favorate jazz movies. The chaos, loneliness, the deep emptiness I feel low down in my heart somehow resonate with the music. I feel understood and yet my miserable solitude is confirmed. A glass of gin and tonic or wine will prolong that grief. I love that.
Think I'll have another after reading this. Cheers.
👌😎🍷
Nice words, Betty.
yes tender sweet sadness in lost love
Better..check the closest mirror..are you alright?
have a little fun wirh your friends..
dont get too blue.
Why is nobody's speaking about bassist Eddy Gomez ? He's not just following piano but he's actually speaking with ! Really impressive.
Eddie Gomez one of the best jazz bassist to play and record. He is on classic recordings with Evans that will forever stand the test of time. A national treasure from Puerto Rico who embodies all that is wonderfully captivating in music and creatively from the island of enchantment.
I love Old san Juan
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
i think anybody loves eddie gomez i looked for any album he playd for 1 time in my life at least
Evans siempre fue acompañado por excelentes bajistas. Pero ninguno tan ligado musicalmente a Bill como Eddie.
so lovely. now I can work at home for hours into the night.
Stay safe and enjoy
a rainy day with Bill Evans is like a square’s day in the sun.
Such a wonderfully jaunty "Someday My Prince Will Come"
We love this man, God bless him.
Bill make me so happy. He is genial.. The best by me 💫🕊️⚓🎼❤️📷🎀✒️🌹🎀😊🍒💕🍓❣️
Le meilleur! ... What a treat to hear this non commercial recording thanks to french public radio !
Cartoni animati
Quarantine gives me a whole different appreciation of this great music and the past times... I long now for the '70s and the times when we could really connect as people
I miss the 70’s even though I was born in the 80’s
great music..it's here now so..hear now
Magic, toujours , merci pour le partages cette trifecta of Bill Evans en forme du trois musiciens magnifique
Evans thoughtfully playing his best. What more can be said.Enjoy.
His music always transports me to a different plane of appreciation.
Great piano, great trio in a day of immense Grace
"Person I Knew" is magical. I almost leave my body every time I hear it.
I've always searched for a way to describe Bill Evans' style of playing the piano...and finally... it hits me in the head like an anvil...it's
"Beautifully Heartbreaking!"
Billさんのピアノは何故こんなにも自由でリズミカルで、儚く美しく、お洒落で素敵なのでしょう…🎹✨
最高です(*´ω`*)✨
ドラムがまた神業ですね…✨
Billさんの音楽には誰にも真似できない美しさと自由さがあって、永遠に聴いていたくなります。
リリシズム万歳🙌
A true Star, surrounded by Champions.
The result can only be Music.
Wonderful Music.
This is gold
My favorite Evans recordings. I don't understand the comment about Oxley not blending in well, I think he sounded great and gave the piece the space it needed and the energy when it was required. I'd happily have him on my gigs!
When someone asks me why I love jazz, I tell them to listen to this.
God's favourite musician
One of the greatest 🙌 jazz pianist so smooth
There is so much of Bill Evans' work available on YT but these concerts are among the very very very best.
Bill Evans,la perfección hecha música!
Bill was a GENIUS!!!
Just got addicted with Bill Evans.
Grandissimo Bill Evans!!
Thank you ！!！
Man he was smooth. I heard one of his band members say that over the many years they played, he never heard him miss one note. Amazing. Thanks for the vid!
same guy with french accent!!! magnific!terrific!
Debby....ah, love it.
Quel concert incroyable... Bravo et merci !
I love that these musicians make some demands of their listeners. Coming out on stage and playing for 10 mins in an abstract way takes courage. Thanks Bill and band for stretching my ears - and my heart...
Как поэтично, благородно, полнокровно звучит рояль. Спасибо, что ты жил, Билл
My favourite concert of Bill Evans
Great performance by Bill, Marty and Eddy!
I agree. The more I listen to it, the more I like it. Their ability to segue between instruments and numbers is wonderful.
We are here
Love to you Bill. Forever. My eternal appreciation and live to you. 🙏🌹🕉
Listening to Mr. Evans, you will always hear things that you have never heard before -- unless you've already listened to him playing that specific piece.
Quite agree, been listening to Sunday at the Vanguard for over 50 years and I still hear new things. Bill's music is eternal. What a legacy and what a gift to humanity. Beautiful Bill, thank you so much, you have enriched my life tremendously.
Subtlety and mastery. Thanks for this gift.
What a great album
I've been listening to this jam for three weeks straight at work. Beats Sirius XM or Spotify any day.
Like watching an eternal sunset.
This is just unbelievably brilliant!
Awesome that you're able to post this: it's out of print, and harder to find than a tropical day in Alaska.
those are about to become more frequent if siberia is any indicator...
I've a copy in my basement.
One of his best recordings, sonically as well.
I love how he plays Gloria's Step here. Fire and invention.
Isn't it a pity few people get to hear this music. It takes time to learn how to really listen. X Tar for uploading this intellectual music.
Feeling the sky, the cloud, the smooth gentle notes and sound of harmony and grace
There are moments in this album that are so fine that they almost bring tears to your eyes.
I feel the same way! I've loved this mans music for so many years. This is new but still so fresh!
It sounds like cliched overstatement, and yet it's so experientially deep and true.
yeah I guess that happens as he got older and knew a little too much so he just plays cliches but in a super intricate and deep way. hes a master at that anyway.
At least he played cliches that he invented.
Yes
over 2 hours of live performance with Perfect keyboard notes definition , this is just..... Maestria ...
I love the it, i love the music. Gorgeous.
A royal treat .thank you for this remarkable post!
jazz like the fragrance endless and eternal ✅
A year has passed and a new meaning this concert has for me. A beautiful tune written by Scott La Faro is a real tribute for him. Around 10 years since his death when this concert was performed. Eddy Gomez makes us forgot one of the best bassist of all times!
Thank you for this!!
Eddie Gomez is terrific! WOW. Thanks so much for this!
Great, great, great and it seems so simple !!!
legend 🙌
Never be another like Bill Evans. One for the ages.
Cuando el intérprete parece superar la intensidad del propio compositor. ¡Grande Evans!
Jazz comment sections are golden.
Listening to this softly in the background as I write my French Lit thesis about the examination of power and class through the lens of Lupin and Maigret, only a few hours before seeing the French Dispatch with a filly
An absolute treasure. Thank you!
This is wonderful. Thank you!
Thanks again, Bill!
Oh this is perfect.
It is!
Une sorte de trinité jazzistique angélique, merci l'INA, la reprise de Michel Legrand est magique
Of all of the great versions of "The Person I Knew" that Bill performed, this is my favorite. It is flawless.....
