I'm watching this while drinking some wine on what would be a random monday, you know... I decided to lit up some candles, and I'm now watching and listening to Bill and his extremely beautiful playing. Everyday life in a big city dries your soul. This ritual heals it a bit. Funny... One of his purposes being achieved here and now.

I remember Bill schlepping around NYC back in 1950s, before his commercial prominence. In fact, he helped me with a piano accompaniment recording a demo featuring a doo-wop group I was promoting at the time. Bill Evans was always great with the public, a pretty shy musician who delivered a transformative experience for everyone who loves jazz and true stylistic innovation. Coltrane was dead wrong to complain to Miles that white guys can't play jazz. Luckily, Miles and music fans of the genre knew better.

They traveled through many time zones and a performance schedule that's probably tight, meeting many people, in and out of hotels and concert halls and at a home in rural Finland on a lake with coffee and hors d' oeuvres and about 10 people and there's this kind of dedication to their art that transcends. They could be at Madison Square Garden or Lincoln Center and it's no matter they enter their realm. There's a spiritual element to each of them with their music and with the people there and they let it flow. It's so great to hear Bill Evans speak and so articulate about such a subjective topic as his art and meaning and philosophy. The quality of the recording and the sharpness of the picture is remarkable and even done so not in a studio or concert hall but in someone's home.... It's so great, whomever they were in Finland, to set it all up to record this, what a contribution, and at an era when the technology to do so was so cumbersome and working in such a small space and so great of Musica Dede El Cono Sur to share this. Thank you!

The Finnish host was Ilkka Kuusisto, a very wealthy and very highly regarded classical musician. There were jazz musicians in the family. He no doubt had all the technical connections and influence to pull off this superb video and recording. Happily for us, Evans, Gomez, and Morell played peak performances.

Hopefully, you're still around to read this 4 years from your comment....apparently the performance was done for Finnish State Television which accounts for its video excellence and it was a performance in the house of the rich and famous Finnish conductor IIkka S---- because he owned an extremely rare grand piano favored by Bill Evans. That's the story the conductor's son, a well known jazz pianist at the time, passed on to enquiring minds. I'd assume the fortunate audience were friends and family of the conductor. They were indeed lucky to be present for 3 of Bill's absolutely best improvisations.
