| Zusammenfassung: | "In the late 1970s legendary pianist Bill Evans, one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time, was at the peak of his career. He revolutionized the jazz trio (bass, piano, drums) by giving each part equal emphasis in what jazz historian Ted Gioia called a "telepathic level" of interplay. It was an ideal opportunity for a sideman, and after auditioning in 1978, Joe La Barbera was ecstatic when he was offered the drum chair, completing the trio with Evans and bassist Marc Johnson. In Times Remembered, La Barbera and co-author Charles Levin provide an intimate fly-on-the-wall peek into Evans's life, critical recording sessions, and behind-the-scenes anecdotes of life on the road. Joe regales the trio's magical connection, a group that quickly gelled to play music on the deepest and purest level imaginable. He also watches his dream gig disappear, a casualty of Evans's historical drug abuse when the pianist dies in a New York hospital emergency room in 1980. But La Barbera tells this story with love and respect, free of judgment, showing Evans's humanity and uncanny ability-even in his final days-to transcend physical weakness and deliver first-rate performances at nearly every show. Times Remembered includes a foreword by Hal Miller, a discography of the band's work, and numerous "breakout boxes" with reminiscences by musicians who knew Evans, interspersed with La Barbera's memories of the same times"-- |

He also watches his dream gig disappear, a casualty of Evans's historical drug abuse when the pianist dies in a New York hospital emergency room in 1980. But La Barbera tells this story with love and respect, free of judgment, showing Evans's humanity and uncanny ability-even in his final days-to transcend physical weakness and deliver first-rate performances at nearly every show. Times Remembered includes a foreword by Hal Miller, a discography of the band's work, and numerous "breakout boxes" with reminiscences by musicians who knew Evans, interspersed with La Barbera's memories of the same times"-- Bill Evans Trio (DE-588)5068481-4 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1970-1980 gnd rswk-swf Bill Evans Trio Evans, Bill / 1929-1980 / Last years LaBarbera, Joe Johnson, Marc / 1953- Jazz musicians / United States / Biography Jazz / 1971-1980 / History and criticism MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Jazz MUSIC / Individual Composer & Musician Evans, Bill / 1929-1980 Jazz Jazz musicians Last years of a person's life United States 1971-1980 Biographies Criticism, interpretation, etc (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Bill Evans Trio (DE-588)5068481-4 b Geschichte 1970-1980 z DE-604 Levin, Charles 1951- Verfasser (DE-588)1249149983 aut Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-57441-854-5 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=033048017&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
