By Leonardo Barroso
Four friends together (Claudio,Mateus,Lucius and Me) to celebrate music, to enjoy a masterpiece made 50 years ago. The Bill Evans Trio with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian were together at the Village Vanguard on a Sunday, June 25, 1961.
It is consider to be one of the most influential jazz recording ever made, and the one that defines how a jazz-piano trio must sound. But for myself, is one the greatest music played, how can you not be moved by the great tune "My Foolish Heart"? It was a new way to hear this piece.
Tonight we heard a Bill Evans repertory, and started as listed below:
- Luigi Tessarollo & Stefano Bollani
- Eliane Elias, Joey Baron, Marc Johnson
- The Danish Radio Jazz Orchestra and Jim McNeely
- Kronos Quatet and Eddie Gomez
- Stefano Battaglia Trio
- Luca Lapenna
- The Drummonds
- JVC Portrait of Bill Evans: Eliane Elias, Brad Mehldau, Bob James, Dave Grusin, Herbie Hancock
Plus:
Bill Evans " You Must Believe in Spring"
The Tony Bennett/Bill Evans Album
Bill Evans The Complete Village Vanguard Recordings,1961
The night was wonderful and thanks to all my friends, and to all jazz fans in the World !!
