Movie Reviews of Bill Evans Trio: The Oslo Concerts
Movie Review: A MUST HAVE!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is quite an interesting dvd as one cannot help but notice the tremendous changes in Bill's approach to the music as well as his physical appearance. Compare the two versions of Nardis and you will quickly see what I mean.
For the October 66 concert, Eddie Gomez is wonderful on bass but Alex Riel on drums seems tentative and a bit left out. His brush playing is nice but he does not contribute nearly as much as other drummers have when playing with Bill's trio.
The last half of the disc features Bill's final trio. Marc Johnson is wonderful and of equal measure is drummer, Joe LaBarbara. Evans' playing is flawless. Its truly heard to believe he was to die only one month following the concert. There is a beauty and urgency in Bill's playing with that final concert that is not to be missed. Following the program is a very entertaining interview with Bill that is conducted on stage as Marc and Joe pack up their gear.
Summary of Bill Evans Trio: The Oslo Concerts
Bill Evans was one of the most distinctive and influential jazz pianists of all time with a rich legacy that remains undiminished since his untimely death in 1980. He recorded over fifty albums as a leader received thirty one Grammy nominations and has had an inescapable impact on virtually every jazz piano player of prominence who came after him including Herbie Hancock Keith Jarrett Chick Corea and Brad Mehldau.This DVD brings together two Bill Evans Trio concerts that have never been on the market before both featuring Evans in prime form. The DVD begins with an October 1966 concert shot a few months after the great bassist Eddie Gomez joined his trio and ends in August 1980 with Evans last filmed concert when he was playing with Mark Johnson and Joe LaBarbera in a new trio that captured much of the spirit of his original landmark group.Bill Evans was a major side-man with Miles Davis and played an equal role with Miles in composing Kind Of Blue the best selling jazz album in history.This DVD offers performances of Davis tune Nardis in both concert settings along with standards and trademark favorites such as Stella by Starlight Autumn Leaves Days of Wine and Roses and much more.A special bonus included on the DVD is an interview conducted after the 1980 concert where Evans discusses his music as well as the current jazz scene.This DVD will be a must have for Bill s extensive fan base which includes jazz aficionados and players as well as a legion of music buffs who were smitten by his timeless lyrical magic.Format: DVD AUDIO Genre:?MUSIC DVD/CONCERTS UPC:?016351633095 Manufacturer No:?SHA-DV6330Music Video & Concerts DVD Video
