Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

DVD: Bill Evans

Bill Evans, Live ’64-’75 (Jazz Icons). We see and hear the most influential jazz pianist after
Evans.jpgBud Powell with four versions of his trio in concerts or television appearances in Scandinavia and France. In a slightly disjointed encounter, Lee Konitz is the guest on one tune. Otherwise, Evans is deep in conversation with his sidemen: bassists Eddie Gomez, Chuck Israels and Neils-Henning Ørsted Pedersen: and drummers Larry Bunker, Alan Dawson, Marty Morell and the seldom seen Eliot Zigmund. Much of this video is rare. This is an enormously important release.
