Jazz Inspired-Tony Bennett on Bill Evans.mov

[@jennifer86010]

Bill Evans not only improvised melody lines over chord changes during his piano solos, he also improvised complete arrangements of tunes, before and as he played them. This is the skill of a highly-evolved Jazz musician, who can improvise every aspect of the music.

That's why we all love Bill! Check out my conversation on "Jazz Inspired" with Zev Feldman about his double CD of unreleased Bill Evans with orchestra, trio and solo. www.jazzinspired.com/browse-shows/zev-feldman?rq=feldman

It doesn't get better. Love Bill.

Always great to hear about Bill through another great artist!

RIP Tony. He always championed bebop and the cause of different music.

[@JudyCarmichaelJazz]

I loved having this time with Tony. I got to be with him a few times after this and every time was a joy.

This is some strange coincidence. I just started relistening Bennett and Evans and was marvelling (once again) how magical the recordings were. And now, this video shows up. A post from Tony Bennett on Mother's Day. I have to agree with you. Both recordings are magical. You can see my avatar is a drawing of my man.

[@GustavoTrillo]

[@Bruningable]

Wonderful!

Art Song. Tony and Bill reached that level. And they reached it second to none, whether it be Schubert, Brahms, or Mahler. Tony and Bill made great Art Song together.

[@JudyCarmichaelJazz]

Tony was delighted that these were my favorite recordings of his since they were HIS favorites!

[@edwardsah3]

They are great albums. With Burt Bacharach's death, I've been listening to his tunes, and I'm sorry that Bill and Tony didn't record A House Is Not A Home.

Bill Evans or Erroll Garner? Now theres a conundrum!

[@JudyCarmichaelJazz]

Love them both. Very different styles.
