On July 19, 1978, pianist Bill Evans was at the Umbria Jazz Festival in Terni, Italy. He was accompanied by bassist Mark Johnson and drummer Philly Joe Jones. A few weeks ago, 28 minutes of the trio playing that night was uploaded to YouTube. The songs are The Peacocks, Theme From M*A*S*H, Midnight Mood, Nardis and an incomplete Solar, featuring alto saxophonist Lee Konitz.
