Berlin Jazz Piano Workshop 1965 (2007): reparto, argumento y streaming

Released in 2007, Berlin Jazz Piano Workshop 1965 is a notable film. “Jaki Byard, Bill Evans, Earl Hines, John Richard Lewis, Lennie Tristano, Teddy Wilson” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. Berlin's 1965 Jazz Piano Workshop reunited some of the instrument's finest exponents from the full stylistic spectrum of jazz piano. The great Teddy Wilson was on hand to represent the swing piano style; the father of jazz piano improvisation Earl Hines was also present; Lennie Tristano served as an exponent of modern exploratory piano playing; two of the idiom's most lyrical modern pianists, Bill Evans and John Lewis were in attendance, and a nexus between the traditional and the modern, Jaki Byard -who alternated free and stride passages on the same tune- filled out this historical lineup. A notable absence was pianist Bud Powell, who was then living a troublesome period which would end with his death the following year. The two other main influences missing from the performance were Thelonious Monk, who was touring Europe with his own band, and Art Tatum, who had died in 1956.

Who’s in it. Berlin Jazz Piano Workshop 1965 stars Harold Arlen as Composer, Jaki Byard as himself, piano, Bill Evans as himself, piano and John Lewis as himself, piano, among others.
