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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Bill Evans Trio. 600 10 $a Evans, Bill, $d 1929-1980 $x Last years. 600 10 $a LaBarbera, Joe. 600 10 $a Johnson, Marc, $d 1953- 600 17 $a Evans, Bill, $d 1929-1980. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00084144 610 27 $a Bill Evans Trio. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00557298 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Jazz $y 1971-1980 $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a MUSIC / Genres & Styles / Jazz. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a MUSIC / Individual Composer & Musician. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Jazz. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982165 650 7 $a Jazz musicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00982205 650 7 $a Last years of a person's life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01185275 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1971-1980 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Levin, Charles $c (Writer on music), $d 1951- $e author. 700 1 $a Miller, Hal, $d 1941- $e writer of foreword. 776 08 $i Online version: $a LaBarbera, Joe. $t Times remembered. $d Denton, Texas : University of North Texas Press, 2021 $z 9781574418545 $w (DLC) 2021023735 830 0 $a North Texas lives of musicians series ; $v no. 15. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015741.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=21BE3C4478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
