When God wants to sit in an armchair and to listen to music, he listens to this. I'm sure. Thank you for uploading such an unbelievably valuable content.

Simply sublime. Bill Evans was a genius, no doubt.

"I don't like to hear superfluous things...I don't like obvious embroidering...I don't like to make people work hard to understand what I'm doing." And, what wonderful hosts to bring the trio into their home.

I’m brand new to jazz but Bill Evans has me in the palm of his hand. I was a fool for many years and assumed jazz simply wasn’t for me despite the forays into Charley Christian, Wes Montgomery or Joe Pass as any self-respecting guitarist may but I found so much of it to be self indulgent meandering. Bill Evans has such a taste for melody and theme, though, where his reaching out is more explorative than it is indulgent. This period of jazz that is faithful to a tune yet open to exploration… boy, howdy, it’s got me all twisted up.

It's interesting that this was filmed at the home of Ilkka Taneli Kuusisto who was a composer of popular opera. Quite removed from the jazz of Bill's music. It might explain the high recording quality and the piano being tuned to perfection. Absolutely awesome!!!!

Man, the algorithm really nailed it this morning.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen the BW versions of this footage, and to think someone colorized it! Thanks for sharing.

[japhee]

The best thing the internet has ever produced in my opinion.

[philbrooksjazz]

Amazing to hear Bill Evans trio in this setting.

[joecaroselli]

Whenever I listen to Bill, I either have tears in my eyes or a smile on my face...or sometimes, I have BOTH!!! Listen to the tune "Emily, " and.to his voicings and approach to that piece..Bill seems to be ice skating on his keyboard! He puts me into orbit on "Alfie" also. Magnificent.

[Hotdogwaters]

Easily one of the best videos you've uploaded to date. A conversation with Bill Evans and the intimacy of the setting. Thank you, I hope this channel never disappears.

eddie gomez murdered every single bass phrase

[leonardreed]

The words are as generous and loving as the music: wow. Im so grateful for this post.

[marcelovolcato]

A magical moment. I could listen to it all day, every day.

[josecortesrolembergfilho]

J'AI TOUJOURS DIT QUE, LA MARQUE INDÉLÉLBILE DE BILL A ÉTÉ, SA DÉLICATESSE D'IMPROVISATION, SA CAPACITÉ D'ABSTRACTION MÉLODIQUE, OUTRE SA TECHNIQE RAFINÉE... IL A TOUJOURS PLANNÉ COMME UN OISEAU, AU DESSUS DU CLAVIER!!! SAUDADES! DIRECTEMENT DE SALVADOR-BAHIA-BRASIL!!! VIVE BILL EVANS!!!

[iandodds]

Listening to Alfie, the piano is completly under Bill's control. Dynamics, pedalling, voicings. Eddie and Marty intently listening, adding to the performance. Just sensational really.

[gustavofortunato]

Amazing perfomance...one of the best trio of the jazz history...golden musicians ...but Bill is the best at all...thanks for your music....

[arielspalter]

Incredible! His intelligence and intellect come across his music and for the first time I get to listen to him talk, through his speech as well.

Superb recording, wonderful insight from Bill, Eddy Gomez was like a fosset, just flow of water from the very first beginning.
