A fascinating video, with Bill Evans discussing the dangers of over-stretching when approaching jazz improvisation and the need to be patient and "keep it real". What a fascinating find. I love the way the interviewer doesn't even pretend to have the self-discipline to take Evans' advice. Refreshing honesty.
