Recorded live on August 9, 1974 during the Laren International Jazz Festival at the Singer Concertzaal located in Laren, the Netherlands and on August 16, 1974 during Jazz Middelheim held in Antwerp, Belgium, this record features pianist Bill Evans and tenor saxophonist Stan Getz. It was the second time the two musicians recorded together. Evans doesn't play on "Stan's Blues" since the piece was played off the cuff, on Getz's initiative; clearly peeved, the pianist took his hands off the keyboard after a few chords. On the other hand, during the concert held on August 16, after performing "The Peacocks", Getz wished happy birthday to Evans and played an impromptu "Happy Birthday".
The duo previously released a studio album in 1964 with the members of Evans' trio (bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Marty Morell). This second record, which consists of the Bill Evans Trio and their guest Stan Getz during a 1974 European tour, was actually kept in the vault for 22 years. The album was deemed a "vital reissue" by Billboard magazine. Indeed, the German Jazz Door label had originally released a six-track record from the concert in Antwerp (August 16, 1974). Years after Milestone acquired the masters and added four tracks from the concert recorded in Laren a week before.

Richard Loveless: The Art of Collaboration

Richard Loveless
Emeritus Professor, Arizona State University, Tempe
President at Global Connections: Art and Technology Consulting Service

Richard
Loveless, now 80, talks about what it takes to form successful
collaborations between the arts and sciences. Trans-disciplinary
collaborations can inspire creativity and pioneer new ways of thinking.
Richard’s work has led to the development of many symbiotic
relationships, hybrid university degree programs, and allowed for
collective wisdom of groups to emerge with outcomes that changed
everybody.

“I avoid thinking about any collaborators as peers,”
he says, “because in the real sense of the word ‘peer,’ means you’re
picking people who are good at the same things you are… I want everyone
in the collaborative group to be different from everyone else and
they’re there because of that difference. They bring to the whole
process a unique quality of mind that nobody else has.”

He
thinks interdisciplinary collaboration should be a conventional mode of
education and the structural foundation of all 21st century research
universities. What’s new about that, you may ask? Well, he started
working to make that happen over 50 years ago.
