My father passed away under tragic circumstances in October 2020. He was a marine biologist, but he loved jazz, progressive rock and many interesting artists from all genres. He was very much into strong individuals with a strong sense of groove and beauty. He himself was a sensitive man full of life and inner conflict. He loved listening to Bill Evans during the last years of his life. I hope he is at peace and I hope he is somewhere out there enjoying this beautiful music. I will join him later in life.

I'm only just getting into music theory, but i can feel the complexity and profoundness of his compositions, timing and the velocity (not sure if that's the commonly used term) with which he plays each note. there's always so much dynamic range in bill's compositions :D I'm gonna really take note, i'm very very passionate about music and sound design and it's very good to have such a good source of inspiration and insight!

I wish i could talk to him to have him explain the reasoning behind his compositional decisions, as far as those are concious atleast.

I love Bill's posture. It's not what any classically trained pianist would call proper, and yet it shows how dedicated he was to his craft. He doesn't hunch over for the simple iconography of it; rather it's a sign that he's fully engrossed in what he's playing. Moving stuff.

All he's doing is running up the pentatonic scale while comping on every note. However, the lengths of the notes alternate between 8th note and quarter note. That's called a 2-against-3 swing (quarter note is equivalent to an on-beat 8th note; the 8th note is equivalent to an off-beat 8th note, which is shorter because of the swing). However, he starts with an 8th note-so it's a reverse 2-against-3 swing. However, the actual 8th notes are still swinging-which means while each quarter note stays the same, the lengths of the 8th notes alternate by a factor of 2. So his final rhythm (in terms of triplet 8 notes) is 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 repeating. If anyone needs an auditory explanation I can make a quick video about it.

His mood was very different. He was just becoming popular in the early 60s, and was, quiet and introspective. However, in SF, at the Music Hall he was upbeat and vivacious, seemingly aware everybody loved him..

Like a man assembling clockwork, so does Bill when arranging his melodies. The meticulous way in which he presses the keys could be likened to how a painter's brushstrokes - precise, graceful, with purpose. Bill was not only a musician, he was an artist, in every sense of the word.

This is my favorite record. So I went and bought it. It's been over twenty years, and I'm still captivated by Bill Evans' piano, Paul Motian's drumsticks brushing against the cymbals-a temptation I never want to resist. If Bill Evans is moonlight, then Paul Motian is the starry sky, like the night colors on the sea in summer. Strangely enough, in recent years, every time I listen, I find myself drawn to the simple plucking of bassist Scott LaFaro. His bass playing has its own syntax, engaging in a dialogue with Bill Evans' piano. The trio's dynamics, speed, spatial awareness, and emotional tension all come to life through LaFaro's contribution. He quietly plays his role from the corner, and now I realize it's a philosophy of life. If Bill Evans is moonlight, Paul Motian is the stars, and Scott LaFaro is that expanse of black night. Without darkness, the stars and moon cannot shine.

He loved listening to Bill Evans during the last years of his life. I hope he is at peace and I hope he is somewhere out there enjoying this beautiful music. I will join him later in life.

All he's doing is running up the pentatonic scale while comping on every note. However, the lengths of the notes alternate between 8th note and quarter note. That's called a 2-against-3 swing (quarter note is equivalent to an on-beat 8th note; the 8th note is equivalent to an off-beat 8th note, which is shorter because of the swing). However, he starts with an 8th note-so it's a reverse 2-against-3 swing. However, the actual 8th notes are still swinging-which means while each quarter note stays the same, the lengths of the 8th notes alternate by a factor of 2. So his final rhythm (in terms of triplet 8 notes) is 2 - 3 - 1 - 3 repeating. If anyone needs an auditory explanation I can make a quick video about it.

That ending. Wow. No other musician can take me to another world quite like Bill can! Love the bass in this recording too. Glad this video has over 2 million views so people can see the genius that Bill Evans truly had. This is from 1965 in London if anyone is interested.

On top of how beautiful this performance is musically I also love the recording quality and the distortion that happens when they play louder. It's so expressive, I think it's tape distortion which gets replicated a lot these days to give mixes/masters more character. This is a pretty extreme amount but it's still so musical.
This is out of this world. Such a genius mind and talent. Every time I listen to Bill Evans, I feel like I am being transferred to another reality so deep and pure, that cannot be found elsewhere. Astonishing!
Wow you just keep thinking about the sad story this song is telling until your heart leaps at 2:39 and there is just a little moment of bliss in that melancholy ballad
ピアノの美しさが凝縮されながら、一切の無駄も無い。ベースとドラムスも渾然一体の最高のピアノトリオだと感じてしまう。

Oh my! Period.
Bill Evans playing draws out all of one's hidden pain and bliss, every second we felt almost complete although it all vanished shortly after. “My foolish heart” leaves you feeling something was lost and will never exist again.
When I listen to this beautiful arrangement by Bill, I become calm and peaceful in listening to it. I never tire of listening to this piece; soothing and heavenly.
Everything Bill Evans played automatically became the Gold Standard for us mere mortals’…
아름다운데 슬프고.. 유려하면서 동시에 우울함.. 그래서 빠져나오기 힘들어..
Bill Evans, one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.
I find myself here again after 3 years... Finally free from my shackles and I still a have never given up on my dream. I wonder if one day I'll come back and reminisce at my struggles...
I love the way he's just in his own zone as he plays, the music taking him somewhere beautiful and we get to observe it and hear it.
we are so lucky that people recorded Mr Evans.. so many thousands of hours of his playing, in late nights in his home or in clubs when only the staff were there setting up, that we will never hear but echoed out into the universe once upon a time
Bill Evans : piano,Larry bunker : drum , Chuck Israel : bass. Thank you so much guys for this. God...no words
Bill evans reminds me of the beauty in every possible sadness, how deep that sadness may be
On the late evening after Christmas, I drank with my friend and listened to Bill Evans' music on the subway back home. When I come back home, I look into his musical history and go to sleep while listening to his music. He's a great man.
Walking to school listening to this and feeling amazing. This is just so smooth and...chill. Made my hair stand on end.....
Here in 2021 because I was in search of real music and have grown sick today's music. I needed something that soothe my soul, found it. 😊
The opening notes to this piece are totally amazing. This totally compresses the feeling of sadness, often brought up by a failed relationship, a break-up or even a discussion. This is basically a way to capture the pain that's bringed up by failing your own feelings.
drums came in so soft i thought it had started to drizzle outside my window

3:57-4:01, the way he voices that turnaround always gets me.
Sweetness, light, shadows, memories, thoughts, recalling times, little aches, love remembered, dawns and noons and sunsets, cold nights, firesides, a warming drink, hope and love and worry and despair, but, always, the great infusing beauty of music and playing, and songs to maintain our balance...
What a wondrous introspective and subtle profound player!
The one and only Bill Evans, pure magic and this Song always brings tears to my eyes. Many thanks, Anna.

Fabulous! A Bill Evans special.. Evans has a very distinctive style, elegant and delivered with CLASS! Bravo!!!
The bass is the thick melancholic sound of his heart, And the drums being the rhythmic and logical right and left turns of his brain, all of that is the background environment giving context to his hands softly playing on the piano while softly playing on eternity.
My God! hadn't heard this in years. Just played it for the 5th time in a row. As always like his heart is in his hands. Quite moving-brought tears to my eyes.
Every song that Bill Evans plays is automatically imbued with another layer of emotional intensity and and otherworldly tenderness. Truly a genius
Like a man assembling clockwork, so does Bill when arranging his melodies. The meticulous way in which he presses the keys could be likened to how a painter's brushstrokes - precise, graceful, with purpose. Bill was not only a musician, he was an artist, in every sense of the word.
I absolutely adore Bill Evans....his harmonic genius...the impressionist of jazz, his touch... the spaces between notes, his sensitivity... a brilliant gift to us from the heavens xoxoxo

"I don't care what anyone says, THIS guy is the greatest jazz pianist that ever lived."
For me--just a jazz fan-- Bill's playing on this arrangement reminds me of George Shearing who I was lucky enough to meet and chat with for a while once at the Vine Street Bar and Grill in LA in the 80s. I've always been appreciative of what I call "the soft touch", especially in jazz.... it can really grab you.
Thank you Taehyung for recommending this masterpiece🤩
Man this came out before I was born but I would just like to say I love this guy😉🙏
One of my favorite all time artist. Music, I could not live without. S. La Faro was still around.
Bill Evans is considered a jazz pianist, but I think his music rises above any category. His music is true 'music'
Extraordinary, swinging, and peaceful. Thank you Bill for your magic.
How I love Bill Evans, I remember he died just before John Lennon and I was doubly devastated, so sad, he always managed to touch me deeply

This is my favorite record. So I went and bought it. It's been over twenty years, and I'm still captivated by Bill Evans' piano, Paul Motian's drumsticks brushing against the cymbals-a temptation I never want to resist. If Bill Evans is moonlight, then Paul Motian is the starry sky, like the night colors on the sea in summer. Strangely enough, in recent years, every time I listen, I find myself drawn to the simple plucking of bassist Scott LaFaro. His bass playing has its own syntax, engaging in a dialogue with Bill Evans' piano. The trio's dynamics, speed, spatial awareness, and emotional tension all come to life through LaFaro's contribution. He quietly plays his role from the corner, and now I realize it's a philosophy of life. If Bill Evans is moonlight, Paul Motian is the stars, and Scott LaFaro is that expanse of black night. Without darkness, the stars and moon cannot shine.
