Click on the link here for Audio Player – Bill Evans and Lee Konitz – Live at Philharmonie Hall, Berlin – October 29, 1965
A rather short one this week, but essential. Jazz legends Bill Evans and Lee Konitz, trading views on stage at Philharmonie Hall in Berlin on October 29, 1965. With drummer Alan Dawson and bassist Niels Henning Orsted-Pedersen providing a solid foundation to a memorable collaboration from Pianist Evans and alto Lee Konitz.
In a little over 17 minutes, they do cover some territory and put a fresh coat of musical paint on some standards – kicking off with the Irving Berlin How Deep Is the Ocean and then running into Detour Ahead and ending up with My Melancholy Baby.
A great collaboration that begged for more – but with history, sometimes you just have to take what you can get.
Enjoy.
Okay – it’s Sunday and that’s usually a day of rest . . . for most of you. But over at Past Daily that means we have special and unique posts to put up. Mostly Jazz and historic Classical with unearthed surprises in between. It’s what we’re all about here. And right now we’re asking you to support it by making a TAX DEDUCTIBLE Contribution to help us preserve history and keep Past Daily up and running. We’ve hooked up with Indiegogo and have been knee-deep in this Fundraiser now for the few weeks, trying to get enough support to keep us running to the end of the year. We can get there with your help. But we need the repair broken vintage equipment and hire people to help us restore and preserve these thousands of hours of historic audio we have. Nobody is going to snap their fingers and make it all magically happen – we have to get out there and appeal to the people who enjoy and benefit from these posts the most – that’s you. So if you enjoy what we’re doing and want to see us keep it going, please consider your Contribution by clicking on the headline right below our Piano Playing Mascot and making your pledge for whatever amount you feel comfortable with. Your support means a lot to us – in fact, it means everything. And I cannot thank those of you who have generously contributed so far enough for helping us achieve our goal. Do what you can. You can make a difference.
