WHERE THE HOKEY POKEY "IS" WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

More Bill Evans

Posted 9 months ago


This mellow song is from one of Evans' two seminal live albums with Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian as The Bill Evans Trio. Jade Visions is credited to LaFaro but it is obviously not about LaFaro (bass player). Throughout 'Sunday at The Village Vanguard' and 'Waltz for Debby', which were recorded during the same sessions, it's difficult to conceptualize that any of the songs are anything but the woven efforts of three musicians who were in total sync. Enjoy...

    Total sync is right.  Judging from this tune, Evans had such a light but authoritative touch, and had his own impeccable style of voicing his chords, meaning that he knew which notes to include in them.  That in addition to being a master of every other aspect of his type of music.
