Bill Evans Trio - If You Could See Me Now

[@warwolfii]

Bill was, and still is, my favorite musician. Occasionally I would catch him alone at the Village Vanguard and we'd chat for a few minutes. He was very shy, very introverted. He had very little confidence and was not aware just how extraordinary he really was. He'd always play my favorite piece "All the Things You Are." He was an amazing talent, a true artist, gifted beyond measure.

[@juliealbright8697]

He's amazing...

[@MikkoLaulainen]

incredible you had those experiences with him, sounds lovely. thanks for sharing

[@ralphparker4757]

This is the song that made me fall in love with jazz indefinitely

[@kempfkempfkempf]

You may already be familiar with it, but this is the recording (by a young Sarah Vaughan, accompanied by trumpeter Freddie Webster) that introduced this lovely Tadd Dameron ballad to the world in 1946. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXTKmX2Jhpxmorc

There will never be another you Bill

[@spensert4933]

The first 60 seconds of this are just unbelievable.

[@ApoliticalApologist]

Drug addiction is an attributable influence on a person's music to the same extent that any personal tragedy is an influence -- they always are. But that is all drug addiction is, really. It is tragic and painful. When people dealing with that manage to express themselves so brilliantly as Bill Evans, it is more reasonable to presume that it was despite their addiction, not because of it.

[@joshuasound]

a touch of heaven from bill evans

[@solidsnake9332]

Every note is ingrained in my brain . . . Feeds my lone soul

[@yesterdream]

nobody on the earth could or will play piano like him!!!Listen to him ,he is in another world!!!!!!!! LOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE HIM!!!!

[@sgtbarbara]

just started listening to him. I am addicted to his style and playing. I have gotten my hands on some of my favorite piano transcriptions and play them daily. Crazy about Bill Evans. How amazing that his music/playing has this effect still. it says it all. God bless him.

[@EclecticSceptic]

There's just something about Bill

[@donkensil1650]

IMHO best of many great jazz painists

[@skreptin]

This music always brings me back to my beatiful youth and parental home in wintertime. Thank you.

[@charlesbarry6730]

The father of modern jazz piano.

bill genius one of a handful of muscians that could bring a tear to the eye.fabulous#

[@anotherluckyone]

This is a great clip, beautiful music, thanks for posting it. Let's not destroy these beautiful moments with a discussion on Evans drug problems.

[@BigDummy2U]

Bill Evans is fantastic, enough said.

[@jazztete1]

one of my fave songs by Tad Dameron which is in my repertoire as Jazz vocalist.

[@bluejazz44]

cada vez que ouço Bill Evans sinto que sua música é redescoberta a cada audição, em função da riqueza de improvisações, de seu perfeito fraseado e acima de tudo de sua imensa emoção que transborda em cada interpretação.

[@TheDarmardar]

very beautiful tune, one of my favourite songs

[@tomassierra2735]

como me hace volar este tema

[@gordondelma]

One of my favorite songs

[@goodsk777]

もし、今君に会えたなら。って聞こえる。 なんて心の響くメロディーなんだろう。 会えるなら、俺も今君に会いたいよ。

[@charlesbarry6730]

Bill Evans' s harmonies are from the school of impressionism.He influenced many mofern jazz pianists.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Modern

[@bruced47]

For sure that is Eddie Gomez on bass. I have an old Bill Evans vinyl record in which Eddie Gomez is the bass player; this looks exactly like him and sounds the same.

[@papapowley]

2:13 one of the only times ive ever heard him make a mistake

[@claitontesch]

the bestest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@teameymelli1]

Ridiculous. Pure genius

[@camilajaimes5212]

Yes!

[@ssg263]

100% it's Eddie Gomez on bass. Can't miss that distinctive sound Eddie had

[@ApoliticalApologist]

Beautiful. There is something about his tone, like you can feel the wood of his bass creaking and resonating with some notes where with most bass players it's all strings.

[@spensert4933]

His tone makes it sound as if he has a Bill Evans Piano that he takes from place to place!

[@LisaGelhaus]

Sublime

[@Bluesmen88]

Words can't describe Evans. So amazing. Would anyone happen to know who is playing bass?

[@andrewobuchow]

I know this is 14 years too late, but that appears to be Eddie Gomez :)

[@ouriel]

from the very first chord (where in the hell did he go and find it) pure magic.

[@abachanable]

Gomez & Riel Perfect !

[@obertoneperformanceart3199]

[@DavidLewisss]

Also you can tell by looking at him!

[@COMPUTERSbeats]

i wish she could see me now

[@MrWolfmantim]

@rxj9000 I must be hanging out in the wrong elevators then. Bill Evans was arguably the greatest jazz artist. One can argue that certainly.... so let's say he was one of the greats.

[@KidsLearnHTML]

(Applause.)

[@Faxelade]

The drummer is Alex Riel

[@왕눈이-v5h]

진짜 지리네

あのﾓﾝﾄﾙｰと同じ頃、ビル・エヴァンス、指使いが鮮明、限りなき美ﾀｯﾄﾞ･ﾀﾞﾒﾛﾝの遺産曲”If You Could See Me Now"～寄り添うｺﾞﾒｽ #jazzm

[@crossleydd42]

It has to be considered that he was a more imspired pianist because of his drug habit. That said, I'd rather he'd had a little less inspiration and a longer life for us to enjoy his superb talent! Full marks to the poster(s) of this and other clips of him on KZbin for us all to marvel at.

[@TheBassPlayerThing]

Sounds exactly like the second ending of "Four". I wonder which came first?

[@Frisbieinstein]

Yeah, I noticed that too.

[@sclogse1]

Blossom Dearie sounded more like Bill Evans on piano before Bill did. (Check her first verve album, Blossom Dearie)

[@joshuasound]

pls post it

[@beasantos7216]

🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️

[@pierluigiqui3007]

Si ,jana racova

[@charlesbarry6730]

Brilliant musician. Tormented by the same demons that haunted Charlie Parker

[@mts2]

I can see you

[@stame1]

I totally agree with yesterdream ...

[@Tomcatom]

I disagree. Being emotional as it is, Evan's music is clearly effected by everything that he's through, weather it's drugs, emotional crisis, or anything else. That's what makes his biography so interesting. Don't you think?

[@Greensburgg]

There's some garbage popular song these days that shares the name with this tune. Kind of a bummer since it dillutes the searches.
