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 Ørsted 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.

Bill Evans on DVD. It took me four views to finally understand why Bill Evans: Live '64-'75, the new DVD from Jazz Icons, is so important. During my first two previews, I had written off the video as too dull and plodding to recommend. Then last night I realized what I was doing wrong. I was watching it.

Before I go further, let me first say that this DVD, like all of the videos in the Jazz Icons series, was exquisitely shot and restored. You can't believe how polished and vivid the resolution is and how strong the contrasts and angles are. The problem for me, in general, is that most DVDs of jazz concerts and club dates simply aren't that interesting to watch. If you were actually there, you were in the moment. On video, most live jazz seems much less exciting.

Why? I think by watching jazz performances on video, a good part of your audio perception is distracted by the visual, which childishly insists on more and more action and entertainment. In the process, your visual essentially robs that part of your brain that listens deeply and critically. It's like making too many demands on a power source. The lights dim a little.

Then last night, I viewed the Bill Evans DVD again-but this time on my computer. While viewing, I found I had to take care of some writing. So I started to work, with the visual eclipsed by my Word document. That's when I realized I was listening much more intently to the music of Bill Evans in Sweden (1964), France (1965), Denmark (1970), Sweden (1970) and Denmark (1975). As I worked, I took mini breaks to peek behind my Word document for a few seconds to view different sections of the DVD. And I was always blown away.

That's when I realized how great and significant a DVD this is. The music is beyond superb. Evans takes many of the songs in completely different directions. His 'Round Midnight from the Sweden (1970) chapter may be his most astonishing version of the song. I was blown away. I'll also say that his Sleepin' Bee and You're Gonna Hear From Me are close behind as monumental renditions. And the footage is quite revealing-in nibbles.

And perhaps this is the way all DVDs of jazz performances should be viewed: On your computer, so you can listen hard while doing something else, checking in every so often to see what the artists are up to. Blame it on television. Your brain has been trained to want two guys crashing through a window wrestling for a knife. But listen to a DVD, and it's a whole new bag. I'm going to be listening to this Bill Evans DVD over and over again. Hearing is believing!

On August 6 and 9, 1979, Bill Evans went into the studio to record what would be his final album, along with his regular bassist and drummer, and trumpeter Tom Harrell and soprano and tenor saxophonist Larry Schneider. The album was dedicated to his late brother Harry both explicitly and through the evocative title: "We Will Meet Again".

Consumed by grief and addicted to drugs and alcohol, Evans nevertheless undertook a long international tour for the remaining months of 1979. Even if his studio recordings were scarce by then, some of his live performances of the period were fortunately taped and preserved for posterity. A number of performances were recorded on his European tour that year.

The concert presented for the first time ever on this DVD has never been released on any format, neither video nor audio.

Personnel: Bill Evans (p), Marc Johnson (b), Joe LaBarbera (d).
