Most of the twelve DVD's are reissues of older released VHS videos of TV broadcastings, studio
recordings and concerts from 1965 till 1979. The DVD of the Bill Evans Trio with Eddie Gomez and
Marty Morell In The Jazz Set 1972 released by VAP in Japan was broadcasted before in September
1971, by NJN New Jersey Public Television and Radio. The Universal Mind Of Bill Evans contains an
interview with Bill Evans, who teaches the meaning of jazz, through live performance. The
registration is filmed as an informal, engaging discussion between Bill Evans and his brother Harry
who was professor of music at Louisiana State University. This documentary features in-depth
discussion of Evans' internal process of song interpretation, improvisation, and repertoire. Through
demonstration on the piano, Bill illustrates his own conception of solo piano and how to interpret
and expand upon the melody and underlying chord structure. The DVD Bill Evans Live '64-'75 from
the Jazz Icons Series was recently releasead in 2008 with a foreword written by his stepdaughter
Maxine Evans and an interview by his former bassist Chuck Israels. The Umbria DVD was recorded
during the Umbria Jazz Festival, Umbria, Italy, July 19,1978 with Bill Evans, Marc Johnson, Philly Joe
Jones and Lee Konitz on "Solar" only. The second part of the DVD is a studio rehearsal at the
Funkhaus, Hamburg, Germany, February 12, 1972 with Bill Evans, Eddie Gmez, Marty Morell and
Herb Geller on alto sax & flutes.

The Bill Evans Trio in Helsinki contains a true rarity, a film made in 1970 in the home of Finnish
composer and conductor Ilkka Kuussisto, when the Bill Evans Trio visited him for a private
performance. Ilkka Taneti Kuusisto, son of Taneli Kuusisto (organist and composer), studied organ at
the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki. He also studied composition. In 1958 he went to New York to study
organ with Seth Bingham, and continued later his studies in Germany and Vienna. Initially the
videotapes have been put on YouTube, but later removed. Eddie Gomez played bass and Marty Morell
drums. Also three rare interviews with the family and friends are included. Audio extracts of the
interviews can you listen here. They played Emily, Alfie and Nardis. The DVD includes also as a
bonus The Universal Mind Of Bill Evans with the conversations with his brother Harry from 1966.
