this year, i started listening to a LOT of 1950s music....cuz that was a REAL vacation from our modern hell. (I love my classic rock and prog bands, but they're too modern and remind me of this terrible society we live in today.) Plus all that 1950s music was about SIMPLE things like kissing a girl. And recently I realized PSYCHEDELIC music is also a Great Escape, cuz it's like I'm on drugs but I didn't have to buy any drugs!

This was the trio that played Ronnie Scotts' club in the late sixties, Eddie Gomez and Paul Motian, and Bill took this band to Europe afterwards. My good fortune was to be conducted to the seat/ table to the right and rear of Bills keyboard, about six feet away from him, by Ronnie, who saved the best seats for visiting musicians who he knew would sit quietly listening, instead of talking and distracting. My friend Peter Taylor Wood and myself were working musicians in Dean Street, around the corner, and after our gig, we went into Ronnie's regularly. We sat through three sets listening to these great players, not knowing that history was being made there. Happy Days, and Bill was at his peak in my opinion.

Bill had a way of showing immense love for the beautiful pure intervals, the octave and the fifth, and used more dissonant intervals as a way to introduce contrast and highlight those beautiful resonances all the more when it was their time to be heard again.

@@uwanttono4012 I think what Turboy65 is saying is that certain chords and intervals (fourths, fifths and octaves) have a wide open airy sound as compared to other chords that contain close intervals like half-steps or whole steps, which can have a "dissonant" sound or a "closed" or "dark" feeling. Those kinds of chords would include sharp ninth chords or a 13th chords, which are typically identified as "jazzy" sounding. Of course, there are many other such chords.

First up, is Bill with Chuck Israels and Larry Bunker. This is the trio that booked into the Rubiot in Tulsa OK for two one week engagements in '63 or '64. As I was the drummer in the house band, I got to sit next to the stage every night, an unforgettable experience. In my opinion, this was Bill's best, most compatible trio.

Bill Evans, a man whose piano effulges with genuine strokes of emotions. Aways watch his left hand. One of our greatest jazz pianists. The effect on me is his touch watching his hands play. With deepest respect and admiration, I honor all who were fortunate enough to have played with him. ❤️

In the past, I have not been much of a fan of piano music because I didn't give it adequate attention. I remember when bill Evans played with Miles, I pretty much ignored him. Years later I firdt heard Waltz for Debby, i suddenly was so impressed by the piece tha I seriously wanted to know who this guy was. I wasn't disappointed. I found a musician who fused his heart and soul into everything he did, and it always came out beautiful. Nowadays I pay more careful attention to pianists. I don't want to miss another Bill Evans.

I was born in 1961 - when Bill cut the Live at the Village Vanguard performances with his original trio. Now that I'm 60, I appreciate his music more than ever. I was a latecomer to jazz, introduced to it in college in 1981. I missed 20 years of this, as it was happening! Since college I've traveled the world and find a jazz club in every city - Ronnie Scott's in London, Nardis in Istanbul, now defunct places in New York, LA and SF were some of my favorites. Watching this lifts my spirits, but fills me with such a sense of loss.
