I think it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s from Robert Herridge\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s half-hour Sunday morning CBS-TV show <em>Camera Three<\/em>, filmed in 1962 (probably at Studio 8H in Rockefeller Center). It is noted in David Meeker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s filmography <a href=\"http:\/\/memory.loc.gov\/diglib\/ihas\/loc.natlib.jots.200020975\/default.html\" target=\"_blank\">Jazz on Screen<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Many thanks to Mr. Levin. Evidently, the Italians added their logo to a dub of the <em>Camera Three<\/em> program. Meeker identifies Paul Motian as the drummer with Evans and bassist Chuck Israels. The Meeker catalog listing shows that the trio played \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nardis,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Time Remembered,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Waltz For Debby,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Re: Person I Knew\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Blue In Green\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in addition to the version of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153In Your Own Sweet Way\u00e2\u20ac\u009d posted here in January. I have been able to find no indication that CBS-TV archived the entire program. The only video evidence is in the clip we showed you a month ago, a fragment of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nardis,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and a clip of \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Blue In Green\u00e2\u20ac\u009d so badly rendered that it would be unuseable except that the audio is acceptable and the playing is superb. The black and white camera-card notice before the music starts is annoying, but nothing can be done about it. What the heck, here are the two complete <em>Camera Three<\/em> performances. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re lucky to have them.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/v6nKQdS49WM\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6Gm4tmltjwQ\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">If anyone runs down video of the complete program, please let me know.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last month\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Rifftides post titled \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Evans After LaFaro\u00e2\u20ac\u009d included video of the Bill Evans Trio in a 1962 performance that I credited to Italian television because of its imprint RAIDUE, the name of an Italian broadcast company.
