Movie Reviews of Bill Evans Trio: The Oslo Concerts
Movie Review: Two views -one genuis!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was totally enthralled with the performances from these two concerts-14 years apart. Two somewhat different approaches spotlighting Evans' '66 trio with Eddie Gomez and Alex Riel and the last trio with Marc Johnson and Joe Labarbera. In the early concert Evans is more introspective, almost withdrawn and the program one which he frequently called upon in live and recorded situations-more controlled. Although the supporting cast is more than adaquate and Eddie Gomez has some amazing chops ,I was somewhat bothered by the noisy fingerboard sounds during his solos which, for me, distracted from what he was playing. By contrast the 80's trio was more emotional, energetic and explorative. Also the interaction between members of the trio was at a high level . In both cases it is Evans who is the sipirit and genesis of what happens. As earlier reviewers mentioned, Nardis is the standout showpiece from both concerts-it is also interesting to compare the two versions which again points to the ever increasing explorations of Evans. I couldn't believe he was dead only one month after that concert. The world will never know another like him. This is highly recommended and belongs in all true jazz fans' collection.
Summary of Bill Evans Trio: The Oslo Concerts
Bill Evans was one of the most popular piano players in modern jazz, having recorded over 50 albums and received 31 Grammy nominations before his untimely death in 1980. He influenced virturally every jazz pianist who came after him including Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. Very little is available on DVD of Evans in performance. The 2 concerts on this DVD have never been on the market before, and this DVD will be a must have with his legion of fans.Music Video & Concerts DVD Video
