• This DVD contains a true, previously unissued rarity : a film made in 1970 in the home of Finnish composer Ilkka Kuusisto (whose two sons are famous violinists) when the Bill Evans Trio visited him for a private performance. The trio (with Eddie Gomez on bass and Marty Morell on drums) plays three complete tunes and is interviewed between songs by Kuusisto and his friends. The grand piano was brand new, and Evans liked it.

• As a bonus, another complete film is included. Produced for TV in 1966, “The Universal Mind of Bill Evans” is a good complement to the Helsinki show. It belongs to almost the same period, and features Evans in both performance and in another interview - this time by his own brother Harry - who tragically committed suicide nearly a year before Bill’s own death, in 1980. Bill was highly affected by Harry’s suicide, and dedicated his last album to his brother, “We Will Meet Again”.

• Total Time: 73:35 mins. - 16 tracks - Compatible With All DVD Players.
