I love EVERYTHING about this video...the black and white, the music, the clothing style, the beautiful girl at the start, and especially the view out the window while Bill, Eddie and Marty are playing. I only play this during November and December of each year so the view out my window is similar to this one. Sounds crazy I'm sure, but it gives me something to look forward to as winter approaches, then during those cold, gray days I have this to help me through. I am so grateful all who put this together back in '69-'70 and then to those who brought it to all of us fifty years or so later. So...today, November 14th 2019 is my first day hearing and watching this since last year. It's great to see you my old friend!!!

He is truly the Chopin of Jazz, his delicate, intricate RH is so reminiscent of the florid ornaments of Chopin and the french romantics. I also hear a LOT of Debussy and Ravel in his parallel chord passages, and there's some modernity and innovation in his rootless chord voicings.

Regarding your comments about Bill Evans' harmonic voicings, the "effortless flow" you describe did not flow like water. His harmonies were discovered through countless hours of hard work, trial and error sitting on the piano bench and experimenting with notes, until he found harmonies which pleased him. He finally wrote them down, then had to learn them as chords and fingerings which eventually he incorporated into his music and his treatments of standards and other tunes. His greatest contribution to the world of Jazz, and especially Jazz Piano, was his discoveries of keyboard harmony. The reason so many people love listening to him is because of his harmonies, which evoke emotions in the listener that hadn't been discovered before. Feelings of sad joy, sincere loss, refined beauty, sentimental loneliness, blue sweetness, melancholy, affection, dark warmth......are just a few words that describe the feelings his harmony evoked in the listener. Language is an art form which is much lower than music, so it is difficult to describe a higher art form using a lower one, but Bill's harmonies touched people in ways that most music hadn't before. People discovered new feelings in themselves once they heard his harmonies. Subtle and complex emotional reactions to sounds. Something that people hadn't experienced previously. Yes, they knew what happy music felt like and what sad music felt like, usually major or minor chords, but Bill's harmonies were far more evolved, more nuanced, like the human spirit. People are far more multidimensional than being simply happy or sad. There are many moods, temperments and emotions which express all kinds of feelings far beyond the simplicity of happy or sad. Bill wasn't searching for emotions when he sat on the bench fishing for harmonies. He was searching for sounds that were pleasing, nuanced, complex and beautiful, and in the process he discovered that these sounds produced nuanced, complex and beautiful emotions. Jazz pianists such as Keith Jarrett, Kenny Werner, Denny Zeitlin and others have taken Bill's harmonies to even newer levels of feeling and expression, but Bill was the original pioneer. The Christopher Columbus of all modern piano harmony.

That, and Bill's love for sunny, happy intervals and chords is reinforced by carefully contrasting them against less resonant, more challenging intervals and chords. He'll play a few notes that are vaguely difficult to listen to and then resolve them in a moment of sheer beauty. Always at the right time, always in the right way.

Bill chose only the best bassists to join the trio, and Eddie is my favorite for the reason you mention, among others. There’s a myth surrounding Scott, because of his early, tragic death, and Chuck was in many ways a perfect partner to Bill’ style. Marc shone his own light later from the tall shadows cast by his predecessors. But Eddie added just the right amount of contrasting presence, what might even be called flash, to a trio that without him sometimes lacked that.

And as appreciated by the truly cultured people in this Helsinki home (as with much of the rest of Europe), especially in their respect for the art form that is jazz. Sadly, it is only in the U.S., jazz's birthplace, that jazz continues to be obscenely under-appreciated or outright ignored. Blatant ignorance, infused with implicit racial-cultural prejudice, is a shameless sin. If the landscape of jazz progenitors in the U.S. were predominately white, versus its black reality (historically and presently), it would be a very different story. But, then, it wouldn't be jazz... By and large, the U.S. has never been particularly culturally sophisticated (and still bears a persistently strong anti-intellectual streak as well). And, today, such notions are virtually non-existent. The artists whom I myself tend to relate to best are consummate, deeply dedicated jazz musicians. In my experience, they are as close to being perfect syntheses of artistic gift and cultural-intellectual depth and breadth. By far, the richest conversations (and, mostly, listening rounds) to be had are with them. The full flower of what it is to be human is contained in them, and which the best and most courageous of whom express exquisitely through the music. One's soul is set free in the presence of the music alive inside them. An unspeakably magnanimous gift! Messengers of the gods, bringing the light of universal truth and beauty to humanity. We mere but ever grateful mortals.

His next 7 years are absolutely some of his best, and we as fans are all musically Very Blessed for this period through the mid- to- late seventies! He signed with Columbia Records in 1970, he later signed with Fantasy Studios for several years, and then in the summer of 1977 with Warner Bros. Some of the Best of B.E. for sure!!

As a life-long musician myself, first classical, then standards/pop, It breaks my heart to know that some musicians are so drawn to drugs, to their great detriment. I don't know how I escaped that scene but I did yet I know so many who didn't. Very sad. They said of Bill Evans that his was the longest suicide in history, due to his ups and down with drugs. Such a tremendous talent Bill was, sincerely hope he is resting in peace now, away from his demons, and is tickling those keys in a happier place. He was such a huge talent. He also worked with and accompanied some of the best musicians in the business. Glad for his recordings so we won't forget him!

It's silly to blame H for any decline he had. For all you know it was what allowed him to have had so many great years of music. And in the end he was doing large amounts of coke, not H, which certainly would not be helpful long-term.

The piano is in good tune, thank God...and whoever paid the tuner ! Emily sounds particularly great in this video recording, and that piano was a 7 foot Bosendorfer made in Vienna. It has a very chocolate and bell-like sound which is perfectly suited to Johnny Mandel's "Emily" , the title music to the film "The Americanization of Emily". I've heard Bill play Emily many times, but this piano really captured the sentiment of the tune, especially in Bill's introduction. Beautiful delicious tone ! Ilkka Kuusisto, who was Bill's host, is a composer, which most likely explains why the piano was in tune, and why we have this great house concert video !

Preach on - there's a reason that Oscar Peterson worked with 2 bass players for the vast majority of his career - Ray Brown and NHOP. I know Bill was heartbroken when Scott LaFaro died in a car crash - he was so fortunate to find two great bass players like Chuck Israel and Eddie Gomez. When you get a bass player that doesn't have to be told where to find the groove but can fit in the flow - it's priceless

I've been listening to Bill for 41 years, starting when I was a sophomore in college. I have a daughter named Emily, and this song played a part in my naming her. His playing is so lyrical, like a Keats or a Chopin. I listen to him almost every day of my life. Thanks for this great video!

He leaves me stone cold. Contrived, calculated - he plays to the head, not the heart. I'll take Erroll Garner any day. At least he seems to be enjoying what he's doing. Bill appears to be in perpetual misery. I can't stand him.

I don't know about the guy's soul but he definitely was a superb technician and a brilliant improvisational musician. Lucky for all of us Bill, the cafes, and the record companies were able to ignore the racism among musicians like Cecil Taylor, John Coltrane (yeah, "that" Coltrane), Sun Ra, and many other blacks prevalent in New York at the time.

In the intro, it is obvious in his tonal nuances just how much Bill Evans seems to enjoy the piano available to him here. Contrast that with his wrestling with inferior instruments on some gigs. I keep wondering how this venue in a private home in Helsinki came about. There has to be an interesting story there.

Regarding your comments about Bill Evans playing at the house concert in Helsinki, I'm not sure if this is a shortened version of the concert video I watched, but people were asking him to play more and socialize, and he didn't want any part of it, telling the folks they had to go to another gig. The look on Eddy's and Marty's faces indicated they had no gig to go to, but Bill wasn't in a mood to play more or socialize. He wasn't very social, especially after his bouts with drugs.

Just watched an interview of Ilkka Kuusisto (the host) about the subject, and he said the idea was conceived by Brita Helenius, who was working as a producer for the "theater and entertainment" department of YLE (Finland's national public broadcasting company). After Evans agreed to be filmed and to even say a few words to the camera, YLE needed a place for the occasion. Turns out that Kuusisto, a long-time jazz enthusiast and also working for YLE at the time, had a large enough living room to fit all the recording equipment and a small audience of jazz enthusiasts in. Another reason for why his living room was designated for this was that he had a relatively new Bösendorfer grand at his place, which they thought Bill would probably really enjoy playing - that turned out to indeed be the case. As to how Helenius actually made all of this happen, information is scarce. Finnish source: yle.fi/aihe/artikkeli/2013/04/17/jazzlegenda-bill-evans-vierasti-musiikkinsa-liikaa-pohtimista
