The film Bill Evans, Time Remembered took me 8 years to make. Eight years of tracking down anybody who knew Bill and who played with him, to try and find out as much as I could about the illusive and not easy to understand Bill Evans. I feel very honored to have had the chance to interview and get to know good guys that spent a lot of time with Bill: Billy Taylor, Gene Lees, Tony Bennett, Jack DeJohnette, Jon Hendricks, Jim Hall, Bobby Brookmeyer, Chuck Israels, Paul Motian, Gary Peacock, Joe LaBarbera. It was a once in a life time experience talking to these gifted talented guys about their time in jazz music, about their “Time Remembered“ with Bill Evans.
Bill Evans: The Complete Jerry Wald Recordings
My second interview in making this film was with Paul Motian. He was not receptive to having an interview and I had to persist more than once to finally meet with him. We met at the Village Vanguard and he seemed to open up and want to share a lot about Bill Evans. Motian linked up with Bill Evans at an audition in 1955 to play with Jerry Wald.
