BILL EVANS TRIO - THE OSLO CONCERTS
Bill Evans
Bill Evans was one of the most popular piano players in modern jazz, having recorded over 50 albums and received 31 Grammy nominations before his untimely death in 1980. He influenced virtually every jazz pianist who came after him including Herbie Hancock, Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. He introduced a unique, laid-back, introverted, and classically-influenced approach to the art that pulled heavily from Debussy and Ravel. In the process, Evans garnered an unholy number of fans, imitators, and musical protégés, and his music continues to undergo extensive interpretation and reinterpretation as the decades pass, given the unusually strong emphasis placed by Evans on technique and harmonization as the basis of all improvisatory work. The title of the 70 minute home video release The Bill Evans Trio: The Oslo Concerts is deceptive; it actually features two separate trios headlined by Evans, in two concerts held fourteen years apart. In the first, filmed in 1966, Evans teams with bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Alex Riel on an Oslo stage. In the second, Evans performs with the fellow members of his final trio - bassist Mark Johnson and drummer Joe La Barbera - in Oslo, Norway, just prior to Evans's 1980 death from a hemorrhaging ulcer and bronchial pneumonia.
Filmed at the Oslo Munch Museum, October 1966 (with Eddie Gomez-bass & Alex Riel-drums) and Molde Jazz Festival, August 1980 (with Marc Johnson-bass & Joe La Barbera-drums):

What Are NTSC and PAL?What are NTSC and PAL?
- NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) is a standard used in North America and Japan. It has the ability to display up to 525 lines of resolution on your television.
- PAL (Phase Alternating Line), a standard used almost everywhere else in the world, has the ability to display 625 lines of resolution on your television.
What DVD standard does my country use?
If you're in North America, Japan, Korea, the Philippines and parts of South America, you use NTSC. Most other areas of the world use PAL. Half of Brazil uses NTSC while the other half uses PAL-M. Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay use PAL-N. The rest of the world uses mainly PAL.
What Does This Mean?
What this means is that if you live in a country that uses NTSC, only this format will be compatible with your player. If you live in a country that uses PAL, most likely only this format will work for you. However, there are many players that will play both formats. The best bet is to check the manual for your DVD player before making a purchase.
What Is the DVD Region System?
DVDs themselves are encoded for a specific region or indicated as 'all region.' On the back cover of many DVD packages, you will a find a region number (0 thru 6) placed inside an image of the Earth. This refers to which region the DVD is encoded for.
The geographical regions are as follows:
- REGION 0: ALL AREAS OF THE WORLD
- REGION 1: USA AND CANADA
- REGION 2: JAPAN, EUROPE, SOUTH AFRICA, AND MIDDLE EAST
- REGION 3: SOUTH KOREAN, TAIWAN, HONG KONG, AND SOUTH EAST ASIA
- REGION 4: AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, CENTRAL AMERICA, MEXICO, AND SOUTH AMERICA
- REGION 5: EASTERN EUROPE, RUSSIA, INDIA, AND AFRICA
- REGION 6: CHINA
The way this works is that DVDs encoded for regions other than Region 1 cannot be played on a region 1 DVD player. In addition, DVD players marketed for other regions cannot play region 1 DVDs. All region (region 0) DVDs may be played anywhere in the world.
The region system was designed to protect copyright and film distribution rights in the sense that movie studios can dictate who can watch what and when.
Please note that there are code free or Universal DVD players on the market that will play any disc from anywhere. Most Home DVD players are subject to region code restrictions, but most computer DVD players will play any DVD.
