Wouldn’t it be great to have this today on network or pbs television!!…first time I’ve seen doc sevrinson improvise…with the great art farmer no less!!
One forgets in the historical weight of Evans' later recordings how sublimely precise his bebop vocabulary was in the 50s, which was the foundation for all his later work.
This is truly music at it's finest. No sequencers here, no faking it, you either play it or go home! Love it. Musicians (legends) that know their craft. An impeccable lesson of encouragement for the younger gen of today. Think you can't do this? Think again, oh yeah....it can be done.
Fantastic,this is one ow the best jazz TV program ever,i think 1958 wars a good year for this TVproduktions, you have also newport 58,film in color,there was also Stars of jazz 1956-58 produktions from Los Angeles.
1. piece 1:30: Early Bird (Billy Taylor) 2. piece 5:40: Billy the kid (Comp: G. Russell, p Bill Evans) Seldes: 10:38: Interview with George Russell, sketching his "Lydian Concept" 3. piece 14:50 Stratusphunk (Comp: G. Russell, p Bill Evans) 4. piece 19:30 Double Exposure (Billy Taylor)
I think the trombonist is Jimmy Cleveland. The Russell recordings from this period that include Evans on piano and Art Farmer on trumpet are true treasures.
There is no reason why t.v. ca'nt be like this now...except for ratings conscience ignorant t.v. marketing executives. There is a wealth of young men and women jazz musicians.
George Russell simply loved the young Bill Evans, and he frequently used Bill to express his advanced ideas at those days. It is nice to watch to a healthy Evans before drugs have devastated his body (not his music).
I kid you not, I used play in a band back in the 70's, and we could play all of this stuff, but what the hippie doesn't like is when people start talking about music like it's academic. It's not academic, or it shouldn't be. It should just be great music that people love to listen to.
Ahh, Jimmy Cleveland, swinging with Jake Hanna (d), Scott Hamilton (ts), Warren Vache. Jr. (t), Bucky Pizzarelli (g) somewhere in the 80's on Perdido on UA-cam

Tony Scott, a wonderful jazz clarinetist. A great time capsule episode with Bill Evans, and George Russell.

The first piece (intro) is actually called 'It's a grand night for swinging' by Billy Taylor.
amazing series, thank you very very much :-)
Thank you very much for sharing this gem.
I think the trombonist is Jimmy Cleveland.
The Russell recordings from this period that include Evans on piano and Art Farmer on trumpet are true treasures.
David Baker is on trombone
No, it's Jimmy Cleveland.
He's listed in the credits.
Jimmy Cleveland with some beastly licks in this video.
The very in demand bassist eddie safranski excellent!
God I just absolutely love this
Superb stuff!!!

When television programs was truly interesting !
What happened ?
Exactly nothing. That’s the problem today.😢
Art Farmer on trumpet on the George Russell pieces
At 6:03 Concerto For Billy The Kid is introduced with Bill Evans at the piano, in case you were looking for Bill's performance. :-)
Can you say what familiar tune's chord changes are being used during the solos of this piece? Thanks in advance.

any music can be academic, i don't understand where youre going with this
dirt jazz wasnt created in a university or anywhere near it, its essence shouldnt and ultimately cant be contained in the academic setting.
@@tonymartin6199 Yeah, but the performer is certainly no dummy either. It takes intelligence to play it.
That fixed it! Thanks.
Dexter!! Sampled this entire video wow...
Ahh, Jimmy Cleveland, swinging with Jake Hanna (d), Scott Hamilton (ts), Warren Vache. Jr. (t), Bucky Pizzarelli (g) somewhere in the 80's on Perdido on UA-cam
And Bill Evans on piano. What a band!
The Perdido set had John Bunch on piano. Concord Jazz All Stars, not that we don't love Evans too.
Da pesada!!!!!
Does anyone know the intro song? I found a cover of it, then the original. Stupid me forgot to save it on Spotify!!!

Doc Severinsen on trumpet.
Doc playing new age be-bop!
Thought so

I hear Evans playing on what sounds like the changes of I'll Remember April. (in F)
Yep.
Is this the earliest video recording of Bill Evans?
3:47 Kennedy plays quite good!
Actually, it starts at a different time every time I start it.
Is that Tony Scott on clarinet?
yes sure
Tony Scott at 2:33 ?
YES! And Tony was Tony and nobody could be Tony but Tony. LOL
I was born at the wrong time...
Why does this start at 1:22?
what is the name of the track in the intro ?
This makes me want to smoke a cigarette
this wants to drink me some water
😂
Who's on alto?
It's noted: Gene Quill
Who's playing guitar?
Mundell Lowe
+Kristian Silva The great Barry Galbraith !
I love Barry Galbraith!
First Mundell Lowe, then on Russell's pieces, Barry Galbraith.
It doesn't for me. Not sure why it should for you. Try clearing your cache - that might fix it! Good luck.
What it the guitarrist name?
Mundell Lowe looks like
@@maestrowick I believe it is the great Barry Galbraith
...on the Bill Evans set and Mundell on the others apart from the final number when they're both playing:)
Who is the drummer?
Got it. Ed Thigpen.
Man,,look how corona proof they were back then! Cool!
