Details:
For the first time ever on DVD six of the greatest jazz pianists playing alone And together during a single concert Bill Evans Earl Hines Teddy Wilson John Lewis Lennie Tristano & Jaki Byard - with backing from bassists Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen Reggie Workman Or Peter Trunk; And drummers Alan Dawson Connie Kay Or Cees See. Berlin's 1965 Jazz Piano Workshop reunited some of the instrument's finest exponents from the full stylistic spectrum of jazz piano from early jazz & swing through to be bop improvisation And modern exploratory piano playing. A notable absence was pianist Bud Powell who was then living a troublesome period which would end with his death the following year. The two other key influences missing were Thelonious Monk who was touring Europe And Art Tatum who had died in 1956. Lennie Tristano' s performance of It's You Or No One÷ And Bill Evans' reading of Come Rain
