Bill Evans Bill Evans Trio - The Oslo Concerts

Bill Evans was one of the most distinctive and influential jazz pianists of all time with a rich legacy that remains undiminished since his untimely death in 1980. He recorded over 50 albums as a leader, received 31 Grammy nominations, and has had an inescapable impact on virtually every jazz piano player of prominence who came after him including Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and Brad Mehldau.

Evans established and perfected the art of the piano trio, and this DVD brings together two Bill Evans Trio concerts that have never before been available, featuring Evans in prime form: An October 1966 concert shot a few months after the great bassist Eddie Gomez joined his trio, and his last filmed concert in August 1980.

A special bonus included on the DVD is an interview conducted after the 1980 concert where Evans discusses his music and the current music scene.
