The young bassist shows that he is highly equipped to play with Evans. His timing and tones played set the stage for whichever direction Evans may go. An outstanding bassist.
Folks, that's not Scott LaFaro. Just google what he looked like :). The bassist here is Chuck Israels. Scott was already dead at this point, which caused Bill to become depressed for a very long time...
I think a waltz can also describe a feeling though. A waltz is traditionally associated with a happy feeling, so perhaps "waltz for Debby" is simply pointing toward that sort of idea, and not insistent on being a legit waltz in terms of time feel. I guess what I'm trying to describe is similar to how people say "let's rock and roll" even when they are not about to play rock music, or even music at all. Phrases evoke feelings.
It’s 3/5/2024, people are still listening. I can with great confidence say this masterpiece will be listened to for as long as people with great musical taste live.
I’ve got a couple of kids and they aren't into jazz. But I played Bill Evans for them, and they say, 'Jesus, that's pretty good.' So I think it's great that people are just rediscovering Bill Evans, and I want people to rediscover Bill Evans. I think he's a great artist, and I think more people should listen to him and respect the beauty that he was able to create.
5th Aug. 2023. Anyone still here? I got to know this Song 30 years ago. It is already a very old song that time. After 30 years, it is still fresh and good as always.
The playing speaks for itself. Undeniable genius, BECAUSE OF hOW WELL HE PLAYS? smart arse. You could deny it, or you could write something dry and analytical, as a college prof would speak of jazz performance, Interesting, original concept of Rhythmic displacement, excellent essential, basic piano technique, long, hard work to perfect his groundbreaking, genius, original, universally admired comping harmonic concept, great ears, undeniable overall originality and sound (genius) , touch, pathos (subjective of course), and, let's see, he also plays very well.@@Ashamed.Loser69
I'd be honored if some jazz fans would give a listen to my acoustic performance of WATERS OF MARCH (keyboard & vocal, English lyrics) on my YT channel in tribute to Antonio Carlos Jobim... live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
@@fluffshepnetwork7067 It is Scott La Faro - he passed away immediately after recording with Bill on the Village Vanguard set in 1961. What a loss to jazz and Bill Evans.
Since finding Bill Evans in 1967, I have continue to be amazed by his gentle, complex playing music. Waltz for Debby has had the most impact on me , but there are so many of his works/performances that became markers in my life and continue to make me grateful he wrote/played them. I am glad our digital world let's others discover the impact of his music.
I'm essentially musically illiterate. Just now learned of Bill Evans, from some peripheral reading and have spent the last hour or more, reading up on him. This was one of his early compositions. It turns out I like jazz, though I cannot name more than one or two pieces or a very small number of musicians.
From my wife and I meeting Bill several times we thought of him as a friend, and to me, my knowing, there is a God. I was a Viet Era draftee, and VW Beetled 4 hours from my Germany posting to Basel 1989 to meet him. Huge venue, yet my wife and I were the only 2 in the 1500 capacity hall. We met the group outside , where Bill shared that he played piccolo in the US Great Lakes marching band, and he would after hours train to Chicago jam
Bill Evans Trio forever! It never grows old. I have listened to "You Must Believe in Spring at least 200 times. And it STILL feels new, when I actually LISTEN. Amazing musicians.
What makes bill Evans the best is that his stuff is very nuanced but has just a cool and relaxed vibe to it, unlike many jazz pianists nowadays who just bang notes and play ridiculously fast. Easy listening and as a musician blows me away with how smart he is
Saw him three times in NYC. The best was at the Vanguard. He was the most transformative pianist since Bud. Sadly all the young lads playing those fourths today have no idea who the progenitor was. I have twelve of his LPs, but no needle for my turntable.
Me and my wife met Evans on multiple occasions, him even inviting us out for drinks. He was a reserved man, always having his own way of doing things, so I tended to watch from afar. He was the most endearing but erratic man I ever met. He would go up to the piano and smell it, as if absorbing the piano- and perhaps he was, the damned genius. I last met him in 2013, on his last tour, where he nostalgically performed 'Waltz for Debby' with his trio.
My Daddy was a huge jazz fan. He passed away last April on the 11th. He was a great pianist and he played this song alot when I was a girl. We always had a Baby Grand in the house. I listen to this song every day for him since he passed away. I told him that I would. He had requested that I play it for him on the day that he died.
Romanticism as well. Let's not forget that he started out a classically trained, playing from the lykes of Beethoven and Rach; you can hear the romantic touch/phrasing present even in his jazz improvisation.
This is one of those tracks that is so rich with texture and layering, it evokes all emotions. It's beautiful and devastating at the same time. Heard it about 100 times in the past few days. I think I have a new fave pianist.
"This song was the sound of a phone call to a customer hold at my former workplace. He said he felt great while he was waiting. There was also an inquiry about the song title."
it pleases me even more to no end that more than 10 million humans stopped here since 2006 to spend 4 and a half minutes listening to this brilliant music.
Dude this is just amazing, the writing is just masterful, especially the chord progression. The chord progression is based off such basic musical concepts combined to create a complex sound. For example, the very beginning where he descends are poly chords starting on G/A and going down chromatically, but the chords go up in the circle of fourths staring on A. I will definitely use this in my improvisation but it creates such different colours and is beautiful. It’s hard to imagine how intelligent Bill Evans was. One of the best, if not the best Jazz pianists.
Yah! regarding that progression, and the "chromatic" descent, which it totally is, but.. as you also point out, it's actually a "circle of 4ths" progression. I came across it myself as the "falling 5th" sequence (which, spelled in the opposite direction is obviously rising 4ths - I love the beauty of nature as expressed through musical harmony!!) Anyway, you can go on improvising on falling circle of 5ths forever, and with some tonal variation and chromaticism, it can be incredibly flexible in where it goes (like 12-bar blues!). Anyway, if I were teaching someone about jazz harmony - tonal harmony in general- after simple scale chord tones, I would suggest hammering this progression (falling 5th = rising 4th = descending 1/2 step every second chord) for all itt's worth. Which is a lot! I love your observation about the harmony and progression!
Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, John Lewis, Dave Brubeck, . . ., So many masterful players. Fortunate to have heard them all, and luckily recordings such as these are here for everyone to enjoy. 😊
Pure magic, I always did and still do adore Bill Evans and let us not forget: Scott LaFaro, on base and Paul Motian on drums. A fabulous, inimitable trio. I loved to sing it in 1962 and I still do! By the way, ever heard Sarah Vaughan sing it on her album Popartistry?
Scott LeFaro died at age 25 in a car accident after recording the Sunday at the Village Vanguard album in 1961. He was later replaced by Eddie Gomez who helped shape the trio's musical direction.

One of biggest mysteries in Jazz is that Waltz for Debby isn't any more waltz after the 1st chorus
I'm not sure if no one else actually noticed this or they just don't care.
Well they Waltz at first then tango Haha. Nah I don't know why the whole piece isn't a Waltz. Doesn't really matter it's brilliance shines anyway!
What do you mean for chorus?
You are one-hundred-percent right! It turns out to be a syncopated two-by-for piece of delightful jazz improvisation.
I think a waltz can also describe a feeling though.

私は高校生の時でしたねぇ。周りの友達に勧めましたが、なかなか理解してもらえなかった記憶があります。
そして20年後の今も時折思い出しては、Bill Evansを聞いています。
全く色あせないどころか、経験を重ねるたびにやっぱりいい曲やなあ、感慨にふけっております。これからも聴き続けると思います。
私の場合中1の入学式頃でしたね。同い年にジャズを聴いている方がいなくて寂しかったけどこんないい音楽を独り占めする事に優越感を感じましたね。どこか寂しく美しく明るい曲ですよね。部活でジャズをしたくて入ったのですがなかなか良い音が出なくパーカーなどの凄さを改めて感じたのが良い思い出です。

はるか昔、紫に曇った、女性のシルエットのレコードを買いました、今蘇りました。有難うございます。素晴らしいです。
I wake up every morning to this work of genius.
I first heard this over 50 years ago. It never fails to move me.
