Full Album – 50th Anniversary Collectors Edition HQ Audio
Kind of Blue brought together seven now-legendary musicians in the prime of their careers: tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, alto saxophonist Julian “Cannonball” Adderley, pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Jimmy Cobb and of course, trumpeter Miles Davis.

[VIDEO] Late Night Jazz: Bill Evans Trio, BBC Studios, London, 1965, ‘Waltz For Debby’
Posted: February 2, 2014 Filed under: Art & Culture, Entertainment, History | Tags: Bill Evans, Debby, London, Monica Zetterlund, New York City, Waltz for Debby, YouTube 1 CommentBill Evans Trio. One of his most lyrical, enchanted, best-loved pieces. (the comments section is rich with affection and praise) I’m not certain of its origins, some info is buried in the comments section, here’s one detail: Filmed/recorded March 19, 1965, in London’s BBC Studios – Chuck Israel is playing bass.
Bill composed this, right? Or is it an old standard? I like this song so much I’ll likely post variations, by other artists, there are a few I have in mind.
