Two rare complete performances - for the first time ever on DVD. The beautiful concert by the Bill Evans Trio presented on the first half of this splendid DVD was filmed in Oslo, Norway on October 28, 1966. Although Eddie Gomez had recently joined the trio after the departure of Chuck Israels, there was no stable drummer to replace Larry Bunker at the time of this performance. For this European tour, Evans employed local musicians like Rune Carlsson and Danish drummer Alex Riel (featured here), who played with him and Eddie Gomez in both Denmark and Norway. The only other documented work of Evans' trio with Gomez and Riel was a Copenhagen radio broadcast taped four days earlier, making this rare footage all the more valuable.

The second half of this DVD consists of Bill Evans' complete trio performance (with Gomez and Marty Morell) for a shortlived local New Jersey TV show, recorded in September ‘71. Apart from the exquisite quality of the music, this program includes a short interview with Bill Evans and displays a colourful contrast between the clothes and hairstyles of 1966 and 1971!

TOTAL TIME: 60 MIN.
