Video Description
Jazz Icons: Bill Evans features five separate performances by one of the most revered pianists in music history. This collection covers an 11-year span, highlighting Evans' ever-deepening artistry as he performs with four different all-star rhythm sections, including the stunning duo of bassist Niels-Henning リrsted Pedersen and drummer Alan Dawson. This DVD includes for the first time on home video Evans' renditions of the rarely performed "Sareen Jurer," "Blue Serge" and "Twelve Tone Tune Two." Among the many surprises in this collection is a live performance of "My Melancholy Baby" with saxophonist Lee Konitz. This release is one of seven new titles in the third series of Jazz Icons DVDs, an ongoing series (now at 23 titles!) featuring full-length concerts and in-studio performances by the greatest legends in jazz captured in their prime.
