This is a great introduction to early Bill Evans, showing why Miles was drawn to him and why he became, along with Coltrane, the most influential player in jazz after 1960. He was physically made to play the piano--look at his posture, positionings, the size of his fingers (diameter, not just length) . He got more tone out of a piano than any successor, playing deep into the keys. Evans 1979-80 is the most expressive piano in jazz, going into deep, even dark, places of Bill's Russian psyche.

Incredibile facility and focus going on! Must have been nice to be surrounded by cats on this level as during their times. The B.S found in most inner city public school programs don't promote this type of music usually. Most importantly the public is now used to dumbed downed promoted musics that often features clowns with some degree of varying musical talent .that usually is more reflective of others musics then their own. I hear strong original personalitites through every musician here

It's incredible how in that time they would have a show like this. To think, Jazz was popular music then. Popular music with no gimmicks or mainstream stupidity. It was about the music (.)

Jazz, like any advanced art form is always going to go over the heads of most, but remain a gem that can't really be sold in any meaningful way, leaving it in the hands of those who really get it and lost on those whose lives are bereft without it...

@bijouxmusic just thinking that a show like this can be possible if the people controlling the media realized how important this music is for our culture and education or if more people like us spoke up and demanded this art form to be seen on TV-just my opinion :)

I'd love to see something like this on primetime tv; but it'll never happen unfortunately.
