BILL EVANS & TONY BENNETT - CD TOGETHER AND APART (2CD)

Popis - TOGETHER AND APART (2CD):
The 1976 Newport Jazz Festival opened with an afternoon double bill of Tony Bennett's working quartet and The Bill Evans Trio. A combination that allowed the two groups to do their own thing with the opportunity for Tony and Bill to meet in the middle for a lovely rendition of 'My Foolish Heart.' Evans' trio is on top form and features the virtuosic double bass of Eddie Gomez with Eliot Zigmund on drums. Bennett's working group delivers perfect accompaniment and stretches out on 'I Got Rhythm' and 'It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing).' The second disc here is the soundtrack of a TV special from the following year which features Bennett and Evans as a duo. It formed part of the promotional activities for their second collaboration 'Together Again' (1977). Two incredible performances presented here, 'Together And Apart,' at the Newport Jazz Festival 1976, and a year later in San Francisco.
