Bill Evans was really at the peak of his life here, he was free from drugs, had an happy marriage and his son would soon be born. I think you can tell from the playing!
I'm right with your coment, but about dope stuff i'm sorry yo tell you he was probably very high on methadone(is easy yo see on his eyes pupils ). His livre problems were increased more and more....

One of those rare occasions when Bill was given a good, healthy Steinway to play on. I heard him at Carnegie a month or two before he died. He was accompanying Mel Torme. What a class act!
Bill Evans went back to his alma mater, Southeastern Louisiana University Nov. 1979 to receive the Distinguished Alumni Award. He had Johnson and LaBarbera with him, and they performed a concert on campus. "At least 2 of the 4 years I spent here were 2 of the happiest years of my life, and I owe a great deal to Southeastern and the faculty." B.E.
Eu sou Brasileiro e raramente eu vejo alguém comentando sobre este tipo de música... Mais de um ano ouvindo Bill Evans e não conheço ninguém que o aprecie... Thx for ur comment :)
Gorgeous! Dazzling! I've heard it many, many times, and it's never too much. But what an affliction to see his hands so swollen. Or was it just my impression? Notice the wonderful solos of Gomez.
You are not imagining things. I've read the swollen hands seen over his later career were due to untreated hepatitis which he contracted in the late-50's from intravenous drug use. A sad condition but he certainly persevered and made some wonderful music right to the end.
This was four years before his death. You can see it in his playing, how the last years of his life were very hard for him. He goes into a more dark, hopeless way of playing, yet complex and beautiful .
I somewhat disagree. During this particular time period Bills life was on the up. He was kicked his heroin addiction was and receiving methadone treatments. He was recently to Nenette and was expecting the birth of his first son Evan and had adopted Maxine.
in 'It is known that Bill recorded very few Ellington tunes during his career (in fact, only "I Got It Bad", In A Sentimental Mood", and "Reflections in D") . "Blue Serge", although not composed by the Duke himself, was composed by his son Mercer, and was immortally recorded by the great Ellington "Blanton-Webster Band" of 1939-40, arguably the greatest Jazz Orchestra ever; very few musicians have covered it ever since. Bill Evans' "rediscovery" of this classic in the mid 70's really makes us totally forgive him for his almost total lack of Ducal entries.
Recorded at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhague, Denmark. Nothing to do with the material recorded for the "Homecoming" album in the Southeastern University.
He brought his last trio back there, you recall, in Nov of '79. The date was released as "Homecoming". That had been the only time back, I believe. But this appearance with the only trio version that I saw, sounds great!
No, the 1975 trio was not at Southeastern. I would have known, since teaching at SLU from 1967-1999. I was the one that recorded Bill's concert there in 1979 and also wrote the liner notes for the "Homecoming" CD which was later released by Milestone.
Thanks for the clarification. I knew it wasn't in the USA state of Louisiana at his Alma Mater, Southeastern Louisiana University. Interesting to know there is a Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.

Free from drugs ??? .. :-)
@@MrAlasoft are you guitar player?
@@finocardie1572 No .. why ?
@@MrAlasoft just curiosity,thanks.
Not recorded in Louisiana, USA, but at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
Indeed... absolutely one of the most beautiful museums in Europe...
Fitting, Evans pieces should be in museums.
Oh really I'm an American expat jazz pianist in Copenhagen Denmark but this museum is outa town never been there.
@@paxwallacejazz Sorry to hear that (not the museum part).
Great to hear from Ron N, keeper of the flame!

Amazing...no words to describe...Genius
Soooo good. Thank you!

The intro Evans is playing on Sureen Jurer is so amazingly complex and beautiful!
Thank you.
Beautiful concert
Great trio with Eddie and Elliot!
The same trio as on the "You Must Believe In Spring" record 🍻
Yes....one of the great album too!
That was one tight trio!
Thanks ,Ake valuable !
Bill! RIP! Ты спишь в родной земле!

Five years is more like it, I believe. I don't think he knew those would be his last years.
I somewhat disagree. During this particular time period Bills life was on the up. He was kicked his heroin addiction was and receiving methadone treatments. He was recently to Nenette and was expecting the birth of his first son Evan and had adopted Maxine.
Eddie Gomez hightly underrated!

Bill Evans, piano; Eddie Gómez contrabajo acústico; Elliot Zigmund, batería.
Bill Evans, klaver; Eddie Gómez akustisk kontrabas; Elliot Zigmund, trommer.
Nice red suit on Bill there
Eddie be-a-groovin’, oh my God, Eddie. Peace Always, Bill. Eliot Zigmund on drums, I believe?
I am positive DR-Denmark's Radio- have much more golden jazz hidden in their archives.
Where did you find this?
It is part of this compilation DVD:
www.amazon.com/Jazz-Icons-Bill-Evans-64-75/dp/B001CW2HJW
It was Februari 21 1975
Recorded at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Copenhague, Denmark. Nothing to do with the material recorded for the "Homecoming" album in the Southeastern University.
Yesss Frank...very good! Too much people tell without learn...
Congratulation By This Video !!!
Ake, Can you change the title so that it does not reflect that Bill played this in Louisiana?
Does anyone know if this is availeble on cd
Andreas Balke think it was
Just a genius....
Who are the musicians??
11:30
Were was this done? Was it in Louisiana on the 24 of April in 1975? Very curious since I was teaching at SLU, Bill's alma mater, at tthat time.
He brought his last trio back there, you recall, in Nov of '79. The date was released as "Homecoming". That had been the only time back, I believe. But this appearance with the only trio version that I saw, sounds great!

Ron Net all very well done by you thank you
I believe it refers to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, 25 miles north of Copenhaguen
Thanks for the clarification. I knew it wasn't in the USA state of Louisiana at his Alma Mater, Southeastern Louisiana University. Interesting to know there is a Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark.
