I took some lessons from Mr Lowe. It’s hard to imagine that I got to hear stories like this from a man that played with Charlie Parker and Bill Evans. He was truly an American treasure.
Just recalled that the interviewer is Hanns E. Petrick, author of "BILL EVANS - Sein Leben, Seine Musick, Seine Schallplatten" published by Oreos Verlag in 1989 (in German) I supplied several photos of Bill, comments about his time at Southeastern and even a letter his sent one of his music teachers at the University.
very interesting , the first I had heard that Bill studied flute, he was booked at fat Tuesdays jazz club in nyc the week he died in 1980 , I had just moved to nyc .
Another great work Rob....great use of photos to accompany the conversation interviews. I am trying to think who the person interview Mundell is It may be on of the individuals that was with Arte France. We spoke a few times on the phone and met in New York to discuss Bill. Mundell and I visited a few time at the NAJE/IAJE conventions and he told me the same stories as on this interview. BTW, SLC (Southeastern Louisiana College) became SLU (Southeastern Louisiana I think in the late 60s or early 70s. The trio of Bill Evansand, Red Mitchell, and Mundell was a wonderful unit....Later Andre Previn recorded several releases with Red Mithchll and Mundell Lowe.
The interviewer sound like he's pepping material for a biography. It would be great if someone had and could post Bills entire Merv Griffin appearance. Thanks for the post!
So glad I got to hear Mandel play one last time before he left us. Thanks for posting this.
Bill Evans was so unique, I always get goosebumps whenever I listen to his wonderful music.
today is not yesterday I’ll never forget Perri and Bill s brothers
@@RanBlakePiano Who was Perri?
@@tomsilver7191 a young lady he dated inn1958/.think he dedicated periscope to her
Always a great joy and privilege to watch people talking about the unique Bill Evans.
Rob, great photos with Mundell's interview. First class presentation.
