Wow!

That's a privilege for sure.

Pierre Lepley you were very lucky to listen it.... deep envy :)

With all my respect, you have to be old because it seems that the concert was in the 1960's. Otherwise, you have my excuses.

J'ai eu, comme vous le privilège d'assister à ce même concert au studio 104.... mais surtout à tous les concerts donnés par Bill et son trio (ou en duo avec Eddie Gomez à Juan en 75) entre 1972 et 1979 ! C'est dire si je suis impartial...s'agissant de l'un des plus grands musiciens de l'Histoire du Jazz ! Ce concert est pour moi une référence permanente de pure beauté, de musicalité, de simplicité ... avec une telle harmonie entre ces 3 grands musiciens! Le public était aux anges... et celà s'entend ! Merci au généreux donateur !

tyty

Incomparable!

Evans remained close to his background of a classically trained pianist. Even as he experimented with his interpretation of jazz music, it appears that his fans were attracted to his expressions of classical music performed with a modern touch.

That's how I see him.

Should be? He’s been widely regarded as one of the greatest pianists in history for some time now.

@@treeman_mj Perhaps he meant regarded as such by a wider spectrum of the public.

​@@algonquin1832 It is indeed a fascinating "interplay" of its own, isn't it? His foundational, classical-music training well-primed him for expanding the jazz idiom with his own innate uniqueness. And the jazz idiom (art as real-time creative process) freed him beyond the existing constraints of classical music. Without both, Evans's artistry would not have reached the fuller beauty, richness and power that it did. A true master. He worked within two disciplines, moving beyond both.

Thanks. I wondered who the drummer was.

@@DavidLoughry me too, he's superb. Can't believe i've not heard of him

Thanks for the reply and I enjoyed your promo video.

Thank YOU for posting this wonderful video (and checking out my music).

Such a joy we had him

Ben moi , j ai quasiment arrêté d’écouter les autres pianistes depuis qu’un jour , un pote m à prêté le Double album des sessions du village vanguard. J’ai sans doute eu tort , mais bill evans … il m’aura accompagné toute ma vie.

Los discos anteriores también son buenísimos, me imagino que conoces Everybody Digs Bill Evans (Sam Jones y Philly Joe Jones)

+Blinglover His hands were bloated from drug use. He used them beautifully, but saying they were beautiful looking is a little silly.

His hands were bloated from his liver, and an almost life long bout with low grade hepatitis. His earlier heroin use only made it worse. By the way, he was drug free during the early 70's when this concert was performed. Actually was for this entire period up into the mid to late 70's when he got into cocaine. Beautiful hands...Beautiful jazz pianist! The BEST. murch

Outstanding!

es maravilloso

In this video plays Eddie gut strings ? I think yes.

Yes.

That's a dynamic mic, and those are gut strings. So no pickup, technically speaking.

Definitely one of my favorite bassist along with Charlie Haden, Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius

ขอบคุณครับ

snaaptaker I was about to post that too. Denny's version is very different and also fantastic. It's a hard tune.

I hear you

+abby4410 I'll look for them

I could not find the other videos but they released a cd: 'Complete February 1972 Paris ORTF Performance Bill Evans Trio"

Agreed! Much superior to Paul Motian, who I always thought was a metronome on automatic. Hasn't much improved in his old age, either. This was one of Evans' best trios. Really outstanding. Bill always seemed to have a grudge against Marty Morell, always had a hard time giving this gentleman much deserved accolades. A really great jazz drummer!

Your right about Paul, since the cat's dead!

very true

Yes. I liked Larry Bunker too.

Larry Bunker was even better !

Thank you. Totally agree. I still love Paul Motian. This great clip shows Marty's virtuosity.

Impressionistic jazz.

Yea ! let's not forget ol' Claude _ _

Or even Ravel!

Just beautiful!

Yes, and could not be more musical; never loses sight of a melody in the speed, either.

Lol ‘72 baby! Was really still part of the 60’s culturally . Long hair lol

All the tunes are familiar, but I can make a list. thanks for the comment

@@robjgutie​​⁠: Thanks so much, for doing that, and especially the timestamps! 😊

Yeah, and that's where the comparisons ends!

Maybe this life

I got from www.ina.fr/ - they just sent the file, the same as here

I don't think it's on DVD but there is a CD of the performance "Complete February 1972 Paris ORTF Performance Bill Evans Trio" and this clip is from: www.ina.fr/video/I05056455/en-concert-a-la-maison-de-l-ortf-video.html.

Greatest + Greasiest ;)

That ever lived!

trying to look a little cool, and get laid. pretty normal behavior.

+Fastguitars It would be easy for you to refrain from complaining about a FREE video that someone was kind enough to upload for us all to enjoy. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself the question "why must I be negative?" Spend a few days pondering that thought, then return with a Thankful attitude instead of allowing your mind to jump to negatives.

+1122redbird Well said. I agree completely.

+Fastguitars Ouch

+Budiman Budimen One can't even make fun his own accent without being criticised personally :( I must admit I didn't expect such maturity from someone who supposedly listens to Bill Evans as much as I do.

You make great album covers.
