BILL EVANS TRIO LIVE IN UMBRIA 1978 / BILL EVANS QUARTET LIVE IN HAMBURG 1972
First Time Ever on DVD!
Bill Evans Trio and Quartet
This release presents two amazing performances by the great Bill Evans, for the first time on DVD. The ffirst one was filmed in Italy in 1978, during Philly Joe Jones' final days as a member of the Bill Evans Trio. The Italian concert is believed to be among the last--if not THE last--time that Evans and Philly Joe played together. Lee Konitz also joins the group for one song, which is cut off by the ending of the TV broadcast.
The second half of the DVD presents a rarity: a 1972 filmed rehearsal of the Bill Evans Trio, with Herb Geller joining the band. This was a rehearsal for an upcoming show, and it depicts Evans and Geller both playing and discussing what they would play. This rehearsal and the show shortly thereafter are believed to be the only instances of Evans and Geller playing together.
Performance 1: Umbria Jazz Festival; Umbria, Italy; July 19, 1978.
Performance 2: Studio Rehearsal; Funkhaus; Hamburg, Germany; February 12, 1972.

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.
