I've listened to countless Bill Evans recordings, but tonight was the first time I've heard this one. Wow. His poor health did not diminish his genius. Really a remarkable performance by Bill and the trio, individually and as a group. Lucky audience that night!
laurie verchomin In Bill's Homecoming performance he is immersed to the point of calling Turn Out The Stars which becomes Very Early. Perhaps all this fuss is because he made himself so inwardly knowable through his music that reached from inside him to inside others with sparkle and clarity.
Bill Evans was Bill Evans, no matter what, a shame he cut his trip short to be some other place, like many others, yet he left us these great works, bless for that.
Even in my darkest mood this music trickles in like oil to a dried up rusty bicycle chain somewhere out in the wild with no chance of repairs or grease, Thank you Bill Evans, a million times tonight.
I listen to Bill just about everyday. He produced so many great works and his live concerts were perhaps the best of any recording artist. He was truly incomparable and we are the better for his genius. I can only hope he knew how much he was appreciated and loved
I saw Bill many times over the years. One time at the Vanguard, his left hand was so swollen that he kept in his lap most of the time and just played with his right, but even then he was on another level. I was excited by this last trio and was going to go to hear them at Fat Tuesday's that week, when I heard that he died. I was devastated. What a tragedy! I enjoyed reading your book, Laurie. It gives great insight into the man and you can tell how enthusiastic he was about this last trio, despite his illness. Thanks for posting
Excelente concierto, con su ultimo trio y en ultimo año de su vida, ha conseguido emocionarme y volver a sentir la musica de jazz que más me gusta. Todo un descubrimiento. Gracias por subir este video-
Ah Laurie, I am so sorry for your terrible loss when Bill passed away. It has to be beautiful and yet so sad for you to watch him perform some of his last live performances. I'm so glad he had you in his life. Unbelievable genius.
I am sure that this concert was recorded in Molde, Norway, August, 9 1980. Evans, Johnson, LaBarbera Re: Person I Knew 5:22 The Days of Wine and Roses 9:27 Your Story 4:07 Nardis 13:45 After Concert interview in THE OSLO CONCERTS - The Bill Evans Trio (Sanachie)
Days of Wine and Roses (6:10) -- No matter who plays this tune, I sort of half-expect to hear them jump up to Ab on the B section and then resolve back down to F in the last measure like Bill. Absolutely love that. Also loved the trading with LaBarbera, right down to trading 1s. All these years I had no idea what a hurtin' gator Bill was on this tour until I read Laurie's book.
Agreed. I absolutely love that modulation and return to the home key. Bill's inside-out knowledge of the tunes he played allowed him to modulate freely, and the amazing results that he produced have certainly inspired me to practice the same.
He, Bill Evans, says the key for me in life is finding something more that is a richer experience and I love that part and this particular interview has never been forgotten in my status as a perpetual student and you don't have to state your pedigree but if you wish to do the drill, then be prepared to give an interview and express yourself honestly and in your own words which to someone important enough to make the ultimate decison, just run with it and it will be a good effort. You shall be happy about yourself; otherwise, move on and let it go. What is written here only is an open-minded view I have kept in my subconscious ways that sometimes are remembered and other days, are masked by things that are not meaningful to me.
la magia del gran bill, hasta ahora no la tiene ninguno de los pianistas actuales, todos quieren tocar como el maestro... pero niniguno esta a su genialidad
Luego de este concierto en Oslo, esperamos por su presentación en Montmatre Hus en Copenhagen. Debía iniciar a las 10 pm. El local colmado de fans inquietos por la demora. A las 11 pm apareció el dueño del local, Danmarks Kaj, presentando excusas, pues Bill estaba en el hotel arriba, pero se sentía mal de salud. Se ofreció devolución del valor de entradas o un grupo alternativo y bebidas on the house. Bill murió esa semana. Gracias por este, su último concierto.
He's suffering from edema, look at his hands; this isn't a good sign. He was a terrific piano player from New Jersey, a true innovator in the jazz idiom. Not sure g(G)od had anything to do with Mr. Evans' demise, as one commentator on this thread stoutly asserts. His death was mostly a voluntary surrender to heroin. Personally, I favor, for sentimental reasons, the originating trio of LaFaro and Motian and, for musical excellence, the superb and superior trio of Marty Morell and Eddie Gomez.

he says what about objectively hearing how he reconciled going back to listening to himself in an objective way.

IT NEVER WORKED, IN MY MIND
Isn't this the same set of tunes as the "Jazz At The Maintenence Shop" concert taped by PBS in Ames, Iowa, sans interview? Both the video and audio quality are much better. Marc's bass is much better recorded here.
james rogers you are so right james.we should be grateful for what we have and cherish it while its here and revere it when it goes.be lucky.many thanks.
There's no god. Most people are unfortunately destroying themselves, just like Bill Evans did it with heroin. Let's be happy about the beautiful music he created when he was with us.
God did not destroy Bill's talent! It is so unfortunate that such a gifted musician, with such a exceptional touch on a piano, got caught up in the web of heroin addiction. Heroin is a "jailer", which never lets go once it truly has its hooks in you. Bill's music was sublime and I thoroughly enjoy listening to his gift!!!! Yet, I grieve for many talented people who currently play with heroin (and other drugs) and are destroying themselves.
I always find myself going back to Evan’s. He is like a giant heartbeat pulsating and bringing in a warm feeling that just illuminates your spirit.
L'approche de la fin provoque une émotion encore plus grande...un seigneur, et Marc Johnson est lui aussi au top!
I've listened to countless Bill Evans recordings, but tonight was the first time I've heard this one. Wow. His poor health did not diminish his genius. Really a remarkable performance by Bill and the trio, individually and as a group. Lucky audience that night!
first time watching this. Bill is so immersed in the music. His body seems invisible. It is the music playing him in his physical form.
laurie verchomin In Bill's Homecoming performance he is immersed to the point of calling Turn Out The Stars which becomes Very Early. Perhaps all this fuss is because he made himself so inwardly knowable through his music that reached from inside him to inside others with sparkle and clarity.
'Yes, he was so deeply & passionately inside his music 'uptempo & ballads'......
Bill Evans was Bill Evans, no matter what, a shame he cut his trip short to be some other place, like many others,
yet he left us these great works, bless for that.
In the world we had many good pianist but Bill Evans the greatest of them all!A genious a poet!
this version of Re person I knew (first song) is A M A Z I N G! TRASCENDENTAL. thank you bill, your music cleans our souls
Even in my darkest mood this music trickles in like oil to a dried up rusty bicycle chain somewhere out in the wild with no chance of repairs or grease, Thank you Bill Evans, a million times tonight.
I listen to Bill just about everyday. He produced so many great works and his live concerts were perhaps the best of any recording artist. He was truly incomparable and we are the better for his genius. I can only hope he knew how much he was appreciated and loved
I also thank all who have posted live recordings, videos and albums of Bill Evans to You tube
"Your story" is a magical moment. Unbealivable.
I am in more control of my life because of music like this and words spoken by musicians like this.
Words don't capture the genius of this person.
I saw Bill many times over the years. One time at the Vanguard, his left hand was so swollen that he kept in his lap most of the time and just played with his right, but even then he was on another level. I was excited by this last trio and was going to go to hear them at Fat Tuesday's that week, when I heard that he died. I was devastated. What a tragedy! I enjoyed reading your book, Laurie.

Always enjoy hearing him interviewed. So thoughtful and articulate. And gracious.
I simply can't watch and hear "your story" without tears in my eyes...
I understand.

Do you?

Todos os dias escuto alguma coisa de el de Chuck de Peterson eternamente em mi vorazon abrazos para todos lucha paz !!!
Lucha paz para todos
Bill, you are missed. We love you..............................
Piece of heaven on a clear June sky.

Thanks for sharing and allowing others to see a true musical genius.
Onvoorstelbaar mooi;ik ben een liefhebber van Bach;Rachmaninoff;Miles Davis enz. maar Bill Evans betoverd mij echt.
Simple, pure ART of the trio...
It's very emotional to think it's the
last time we see him...
fabulous musicians and great music!
I believe this is the show that is available on "The Oslo Concerts" on dvd.Wonderful.So fortunate these were captured.
The realization is always up to the top-flight performers and I believe for very good reasons as explained so well by Mr. Evans.
Days of Wine and Roses (6:10) -- No matter who plays this tune, I sort of half-expect to hear them jump up to Ab on the B section and then resolve back down to F in the last measure like Bill. Absolutely love that. Also loved the trading with LaBarbera, right down to trading 1s. All these years I had no idea what a hurtin' gator Bill was on this tour until I read Laurie's book.

So sad to see him just a short time before his death. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful! And sad. But you know, that's life!
Superb G! tx for sharing. with all my respect ;)
Beautiful quality of Audio and Video, Precious upload, Tusen Takk!!
He's sick, and almost certainly high, and yet remains profoundly articulate and an incredible mensch. As always.
He's suffering from edema, look at his hands; this isn't a good sign. He was a terrific piano player from New Jersey, a true innovator in the jazz idiom.

Peter J. Andros one month later he would be dead...what a loss.
Peter J. Andros yes motion in the 60s BW video films (before tape was trusted) that was flow that matched bill maybe
thank you
When you know the problem, do not take your mind away from what you are doing.

the last part of the interview is so profound

I love his music.

It certainly was a professional best.
Recorded August 9, 1980.
Genial.Thanks.
The top trio!
They played this on the same concert Bill Evans, Molde 1980, Up with the lark
Marc Johnson at his best!
yes very sad state Bill is in. You can see especially in the interview at the end of the concert.
Was he very anxious/uncomfortable at the end of his shows? Or was he able to maintain composure for long periods of time at this stage?
+joeyisfunny His rocking back and forth could be a response to anxiety or pain. But he talks very calmly and with seeming enthusiasm.
Bill solo sonaría bien pero con este trío y con este bajista suena genial.

Ahhaa. Not the same concert but the same music, recorded much better here than the USA PBS. Bill seemed to like the instrument much better here.

They played "Up with the lark" too, only duo with bass, its the best, where is it?
BACH,MOZART,BEETHOVEN,TCAIKOVSKI,LIST,CHOPIN,DEBUSSY, BILL EBANS and all the others....
You put Evans in there but no other jazz pianist?
Also, Liszt?
+PJ Tchaikovsky wasn't much of a pianist, according to those who heard him. Liszt is there misspelled. Monk should on the list.
Does anyone know if this exact concert is available on CD?
he should have stayed longer with us
what tune is that at 16:00

God can't destroy anything, he's not there. Just relish what the universe provided, no matter how long it lasted.
