- Bill Evans Trio - Days Of Wine And Roses ( Henry Mancini )- Consecration [Disk 2] 06
Piano: Bill Evans, Bass: Marc Johnson, Drums: Joe LaBarbera
Always intro one key and melody,solo in another !
Master piano playing.
living in the bay area, a friend and i went to see the bill evans trio at the intimate keystone corner on one of those september evenings. it was fantastic. i rarely use this phrase, but his playing was at times transcendent - you could feel it from the sounds he was producing with that piano. we were sad to hear that he had died the following week, and made it a mission to try and see as many other artists we had put off seeing "for another time" because they can and will go at any time. the keystone corner had so many incredible acts during its run - bill evans was one of the many that performed there.
Words fail me, the man was a genius of jazz and totally incomparable. Thank you so much.
Bill Evans was a Genius. He and Thelonious Monk are my Piano's "Gods"!
Questa è a dir poco commovente ,un interplay eccellente e straordinario!il testamento di un angelo di nome Bill Evans!
His music is sundry yet accessible. What a legend!
Near the end of his career in my opinion he was just playing like someone that is beyond human... I would do anything to have a beer with the man not only because of his music but because he seemed to be such an interesting human being.
RRaquello Jazz is an improvised music. ALL the instruments are solo instruments. It's not like a lot of music where everything is pre-composed. In Jazz, it's primarily a composed melody, and then people solo over the chord changes. Like with anything, you have to know what you're listening to (generally) in order to enjoy it. That's why so many people dislike free-jazz. You gotta understand a language in order to know what they're talkin' about
Wonderful. Thank you.
El inmortal Bill Evans en genial expresión de la ya legendaria melodía de Henry Mancini, Días de Vino y Rosas.
Wow! The continuous key changes just are impossible to imagine! It's like 'The Well Tempered Clavier' all in one piece! The technical immensity of this performance blows me away.
He's changing key every song section?
@@spacemanbose Yep. Throughout the main theme portion (after the wandering intro) he keeps going up a step. Just amazing technical skill to be able to play smoothly in all of those different keys. If you think that's easy, go to your piano and give it a try.
Bill was a big Bach fan from what I understand.
@Docnolan1953 My piano teacher met him in an A&P when he was buying cat food. They became friends and Bill taught him some stuff, and Bill would put his name down at the door at the Vanguard so he got to see Bill many times for free. I really missed out being born in this day and age.
Oh man- Bill Evans...
His playing has a transcendent quality; it never palls for this devotee even after more than sixty years of listening.
@billevanstime Oh please, could you finally stop comparing those two? Both are great in their own way, there's no need for any comparison at all. You're just obsessed. It's funny, because either you wait for someone to say the name "Keith Jarrett" to start an argument, or you do it yourself. What YOU can learn is that there are certain pianists, like Bill and Keith (and others), who are on a level where "better" or "worse" no longer exist. Why is it so hard to appreciate them equally?
Don't try to analyze this ... it is beautiful.... amazing
There are those few musicians plugged into that neo-Platonic, Plotinian One. John Coltrane, Bill Evans, were 2 who have moved on, YoYo Ma and Zakir Hussain are now pointing the way.
I'm a Bill Evans completist and would be the first to champion the genius of the first trio with Scott LaFaro. But if I had to limit my selection to a single session, it would have to be the altogether "surprising," ever-fresh and urgent music on the 16 discs comprising "Consecration" (the first sets) and "The Last Waltz" (the 2nd sets), recorded at the Keystone Korner in San Francisco Aug 31 to Sept 8, 1980, scarcely a week before his death on the other Coast.
This is not the impressionist Bill Evans of the LaFaro trio but an expressionist artist, playing each tune as though it might be his last, determined to reveal his heart and mind. Moreover, the piano has thunderous bass, resonant mid-register, and a ringing bell-like clarity in the upper register. It's music that exerts a powerful, mesmerizing hold, never wearing out its welcome. (Many of Bill's recordings suffer from piano-deaf engineers or inferior equipment.)
Yes, and many live club dates suffered from piano-deaf, inferior audiences. Like the now famous "Live at the Village Vanguard" recorded sets where Evans had to admonish the audience to SHUT UP more than once that Sunday night.
bill evans with or without drugs what would have been the answer i wish i knew.
Im my opinion Bill Evans reinvented chords as a whole and the way they are treated so every even most boring or simple progression sounds interesting and with many many added tensions... Really inspiring touch :)
Tuve el inmenso placer de escuchar a este mismo trio en el teatro Opera de la Ciudad de Bs As algo verdaderamente inolvidable...!
Verdaderamente tuvo que ser inolvidable, ha sido uno de los músicos más grandes de nuestra era.
It's best songs and the best performer
His arrange is my best friend.
keith listen and learn
God... that first minute is like the best lullaby I've ever heard.
♥♥♥
show!!
@exjazzbassbaz: My observation is that with great artists like Bill, or Bird, or Billie, they're great despite the drugs--not because of them. The drugs are a distraction that prevents them from fully realizing their potential due to the focus being drawn away towards the next fix. Bird was only 34 when he burned himself out. Think of the heights that he could have gone on to if his health and attention were fully focused on his muse.

@AManAnd88Keys
I can't appreciate them equally for a simple reason. keith is a great improvising but ( this is very important ) without soul ...This is the same reason why Chopin is more important than Liszt.....no obsession..believe me
THE AMERICAN ERIC SATIE....
หรอยจัดพี่บ่าว
the greatest of all times!!! Thanks
This is amazing artistry. If this is the theme song to the movie, I'm trying hard to find the melody line to the original song and now at 7:25 or so can hear some of it. Bill reinvents the song, if I'm correct. He has the ability to be so abstract my unsophisticated ear can't grasp it yet I appreciate it for what it is. I guess he follows the chord structure that unlies it all. Is that correct? Can someone explain. Is this actually the song and through most of it I'm not following it?
Giant chill
I think I'm about at you're level of understanding too. The chord changes are the same as the original song, he's just soloing over them. The theme as it is originally only appears in bits at the beginning and end of this beautiful piece
GRANDE BILL!
I struggle playing this tune in just one key. Sick
is he continuing changing key every section of the song?
He’s changing ever 16 bars. Going back and forth between F and Ab I believe.
00:37 - 00:43 *SIGH*
😃🌸🌱💛
@fall12527 that's your opinion
the solo is soulful
cool
💖👍
Thenks
Magistral !
@billevanstime I can see your point here, and agree partially. Keith played a lot of stuff that is hard to comprehend. But I guess you should listen to one of Keiths latest recordings, "Jasmine" with Charlie Haden on Bass. A lot of simple, yet very expressive piano playing. I was actually surprised how soulful
(at least to me it seems so), yet relaxed and joyful it is.
I hate to say this because it's going to make me sound like an awful philistine, but I like jazz and listen to a lot of it, and play the piano some. Someone recommended Bill Evans to me and a lot of it sounds like random noodling around to me. That's not to say I don't like a lot of it, but maybe I just don't get all of it. Also, I think the long bass solos are a waste of time. While good bass will propel the music, it's not a solo instrument. I'm no expert, so maybe it just goes over my head.
Hmm...maybe you're on to something regarding Bill's late in life predilection for long bass solos. I'm a solid Evans fan but there's some recorded stuff that didn't need to be marketed. Noodling...yeah, I like that. Excellent commentary RRaquello.
Bill Evans is randomly noodling, and the bass shouldn't solo. It certainly is going well over you're head!
